CAUTION
• Avoid use of manifolds with ports
containing high pressure valves.
High pressure valves require
additional pressure (e.g., 50 - 200
mmHg) to open and allow fluid
flow. These high pressure valves
may cause a significant delay in
therapy followed by a sudden
bolus once the valve is opened,
particularly at low infusion rates
(e.g., < 5 mL/h, and especially
flow rates < 0.5 mL/h).
• Failure to follow proper
administration set loading
instructions might lead to an
instrument malfunction.
• Before operating the instrument,
verify that the administration set is
free from kinks and correctly
installed.
• Insert upper fitment before
installing safety clamp
fitment.
• When reloading an
administration set, leave the
safety clamp
closed position (see "General
Information," "Safety Clamp
Fitment").
