General Information; Warnings And Cautions; General - Cardinal Health Alaris 8000 Series Directions For Use Manual

WARNINGS
• The Pump and Syringe Modules are designed to stop fluid
flow under alarm conditions. Periodic patient monitoring
must be performed to ensure the infusion is proceeding as
expected. It is a positive displacement delivery system,
capable of developing positive fluid pressures to overcome
widely varying resistances to flow encountered in practice,
including resistances to flow imposed by small gauge
catheters, filters and intra-arterial infusion. It is neither
designed nor intended to detect infiltrations and will not
alarm under infiltration conditions.
• The use of positive displacement infusion devices ported
together with gravity flow infusion systems into a
common site may impede the flow of common "gravity
IV
only" systems, affecting their performance. Hospital/facility
personnel must ensure the performance of the common
site is satisfactory under these circumstances.
• To prevent a potential free-flow condition, ensure no
extraneous object (for example, bedding, tubing, glove)
is enclosed or caught in the Pump Module door.
• Each time the Alaris
and/or set the monitoring mode, resistance alert, and/or
pressure alarm limit. If the monitoring mode,
resistance alert, and/or pressure alarm limit are not
verified, the instrument may not operate within the
desired occlusion detection parameter(s).
