w Before cleaning always switch off and disconnect from the AC Power Supply. Never allow liquid to enter the casing
and avoid excess fluid build up on the Pump. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents as these may damage the exterior
surface of the Pump. Do not steam autoclave, ethylene oxide sterilise or immerse this Pump in any fluid.
If the Pump has visible cracks or damage to the case do not clean and immediately take it out of service for
examination by Qualified Service Personnel.
The syringe and extension sets are disposable single use items and should be discarded after use according to their manufacturers'
instructions.
If the Pump is to be stored for an extended period it should be first cleaned and the internal battery fully charged. Store in a clean, dry
atmosphere at room temperature and, if available, employ the original packaging for protection.
Once every 3 months during storage, carry out functional tests as described in the Technical Service Manual and ensure that the internal
battery is fully charged.
