WARNING
When priming:
• Ensure patient is not connected.
• 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.
CAUTION
During priming, the pressure limit
alarms are temporarily increased to
their maximum level.
