Companion® Enteral Feeding Pump and Pump Sets
Features
- In October 2012, Abbott Nutrition (AN) announced the discontinuation of the manufacture, lease and sale of all enteral device products.
Our goal was to provide your organization sufficient time to transition to an alternate device supplier. As the market leader in therapeutic nutrition, Abbott Nutrition will continue to provide oral and enteral nutrition products.
Please note that we are now in the final stage of discontinuing all enteral device products:
- AN will discontinue the manufacture, lease and sale of all enteral device products – including pumps, disposable sets, tubes, kits and related device accessories on April 30, 2013.
- AN enteral device products are no longer manufactured and will not be available beyond April 30, 2013.
- If you lease or rent an AN pump, YOUR AGREEMENT WILL TERMINATE effective April 30, 2013.
- It is critical that you transition to an alternate device supplier before this date.
Leased and rented pumps are AN assets and must be returned in accordance with the terms of the agreement. When you are ready to return your pumps, please call 1-800-986-8777. Dedicated specialists are available to assist you. AN will provide resources to help return leased or rented pumps at no cost to your organization.
Please be aware that after April 30, 2013 AN will no longer:
- Accept any returns for disposable sets, tubes, kits or related accessories.
- Service, repair, refurbish or replace any enteral feeding pump.
- Offer a buyback on any purchased pumps.
