WARNING
• Administration Sets:
• Use only Alaris Pump
module/GEMINI
System administration sets.
The use of any other set can
cause improper instrument
FU
operation, resulting in an
inaccurate fluid delivery or other
RATE (mL/h)
potential hazard. For a list of
compatible administration sets,
please refer to the Alaris

Module Set Compatibility Card.
PAUSE
• Discard if packaging is not intact or

OFF
RESTART protector caps are unattached.
CAUTION
• Ensure that the device is as close
to level of patient's heart as
possible. Patient's heart level
should be in line with the
CHANNEL SELECT key.
• Use compatible components
which have the smallest internal
volume or "deadspace" to
minimize residual volumes
between the syringe and the
patient when administering
medications or fluids at low
infusion rates (e.g.,< 5 mL/h, and
especially flow rates < 0.5 mL/h).
This reduces the amount of time it
takes for fluid to reach the patient,
maintains delivery accuracy, and
reduces occlusion detection
times.
