WARNINGS [continued]
•
Do not bend the heat exchanger. Bending may damage the
heat exchanger allowing communication between the
recirculating solution and I.V. fluid path, resulting in the I.V.
delivery of inappropriate fluids.
•
Blood and blood products could contain pathogenic
organisms. Failure to follow institutional policy and
procedures for biomedical-hazardous materials could lead to
exposure to harmful pathogens.
•
When injecting medications into the fluid path, do not inject
through the triple lumen tubing of the D/DI-60HL and
D/DI-65HL Disposable Set. This may allow communication
between the recirculating solution and I.V. fluid path.
•
Exposed conductor on MAINS power cord can cause an
electrocution hazard. Remove device from service if MAINS
power cord has exposed wires.
•
Do not re-use partially full fluid bags. Fluid bags that have
been partially drained, un-spiked, and then reinstalled may
contain air, which if used can result in infusion of air into the
patient. Use only new fluid bags from which the air has been
removed.
•
Activation of the Over Temperature warning signal indicates
that warming has stopped and immediate operator
intervention is required. Failure to clear the over temperature
condition or to take the device out of service may result in death
or serious injury to the patient.
•
The Fluid Warmer is not for use with irrigating tubing, which
may not fit into the clamp slot of the Air Detector/Clamp
causing diminished flow or a failure to stop flow.
•
The Fluid Warmer is for use only with Smiths Medical
supplied or approved parts, accessories, and D or DI series
Disposable Sets. The device may not function as intended with
the use of unapproved parts, accessories, or Disposable Sets.
•
Grounding reliability can only be achieved when MAINS
power cords are connected to a properly grounded
receptacle. Risk of electrical shock exists if the equipment is
not connected to a properly grounded receptacle.
