WARNINGS [continued]
•
Use of a bedside leukocyte reduction filter may cause a
sudden precipitous drop in blood pressure resulting in
respiratory distress, facial flushing, abdominal pain and
nausea, and loss of consciousness. Immediately stop
transfusion, and follow institution's protocol for treatment of
transfusion reactions.
•
Do not operate the Fluid Warmer in the presence of a
flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen, or nitrous oxide.
The risk of explosion exists if the Fluid Warmer is operated in
a potentially explosive environment.
•
No user-serviceable parts. All service must be performed by
Smiths Medical or competent personnel.
•
Disposable Sets are supplied with a sterile fluid path which may
be compromised if the caps are not in place. Do not use
Disposable Set if Luer and spike caps are not securely in place,
or if Luer connections are not secure as the fluid path may not
be sterile and may cause death or serious injury to the patient.
•
Disposable Sets are for single use only. To reduce the risk of
cross contamination, do not reuse Disposable Sets.
•
If fluid exits in the Patient Line or the D/DI-60HL and D/DI-65HL
Disposable Set, replace the Disposable Set.
•
Do not use auto-transfusion bags. Auto-transfusion bags
may contain air that can result in infusion of air into the patient.
•
Set-up, priming, and use require aseptic technique. Failure to
use aseptic technique may result in death or serious injury to
the patient.
WARNINGS for the Air Detector/Clamp
•
The tubing must be properly placed in the Clamp Slot of the
Air Detector/Clamp. Failure to ensure that the tubing is
correctly positioned in the Clamp Slot may result in failure to
stop air infusion.
•
Activation of the Air Detector/Clamp alarm during infusion
indicates that fluid flow has stopped and that immediate
operator intervention is required to restore fluid flow.
Failure to reinstate flow (after purging any air or foam) may
result in death or serious injury to the patient.
