Conclusion
This concludes Section 9.1, Set Up for Use. Operators can proceed to
the next Section 9.2, Use of the Fluid Warmer.
•
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 resulting in death or serious
injury to the patient.
•
Do not reuse 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 resulting in death or serious injury to the patient. Use
only new fluid bags from which the air has been removed.
•
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 which could result in
patient death or serious injury.
•
When loading fluid bags into Pressure Chambers, choose a
hanging hook that allows the bag port to hang freely in the
indented slot at the bottom of the chamber door. If bag ports
are positioned above this slot, diminished flow could occur
resulting in physical injury to the patient, user, and/or an
adverse effect on the device or its performance.
