Operating Instructions

The Operating Instructions are grouped into five segments. Read through
each section BEFORE performing a procedure.
•
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
resulting in death or serious injury to the patient or user.
•
When injecting medications into the fluid path, do not inject
through the triple-lumen tubing of the Level 1® D/DI-60HL and
D/DI-65HL Disposable Set. This may allow communication
between the recirculating solution path and I.V. fluid path, which
could result in death or serious injury to 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 resulting in death or serious
injury to the patient.
•
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 resulting in death or serious injury
to the patient.
•
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 resulting in death or serious injury to the patient or
user.
•
Do not bend the heat exchanger. Bending may damage the heat
exchanger allowing communication between the recirculating
solution path and I.V. fluid path, resulting in the I.V. delivery of
inappropriate fluids which could result in death or serious injury to
the patient.
•
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 which may result in patient death or serious injury.
