•
These instructions contain important information for safe use of
the product. Read the entire operator's manual, including
Warnings and Cautions, before using this product. Failure to
properly follow warnings, cautions and instructions could result
in death or serious injury to the patient.
•
Remove all air from the fluid bags before spiking and the fluid
lines before connecting to the patient. Failure to do so can result
in infusion of air into the patient.
•
Replace Gas Vent/Filter Assembly every three hours, or when
the filter becomes clogged, or when air is slowly vented.
Failure to do so will result in a reduction of flow rate. This
may result in inadequate patient treatment.
•
The replacement Gas Vent/Filter Assembly must be fully
primed before continuing infusion. Failure to do so may
allow air to be infused into the patient.
•
Do not use the Fluid Warmer in high-energy fields such as:
MRI, X-RAY, portable and mobile RF communications equipment,
and other such devices. The Fluid Warmer may act as a
projectile in a strong magnetic field, cause image artifacts, or
not function as intended.
