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 does 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 only"
IV
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.

Administration Sets

WARNINGS
• When priming:
Ensure administration set is not connected to patient.
♦
Ensure air is expelled from line prior to beginning
♦
infusion (unexpelled air in line could have serious
consequences).
Failure to prime correctly can delay infusion delivery and
cause the total volume to be infused to read higher than the
actual total delivered to the patient.
• Discard if packaging is not intact or protector caps are
unattached.
