Term Care, Urgent Care, Transport, and Physician Offices. Intended Audience The SYMBIQ™ Infusion System is intended for use at the direction of or under the supervision of licensed physicians or certified healthcare professionals who are trained in the use of infusers and the administration of parenteral, enteral, and epidural fluids and medications.
• Federal (USA) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of physicians or other licensed health practitioners. • DO NOT place the SYMBIQ™ Infusion System in service if it fails any of the diagnostic self-tests. • Before use, inspect the AC cord to check for defects.
Epidural administration of medications other than those indicated for epidural use could result in serious injury to the patient. • For epidural administration, the use of Hospira catheters, SYMBIQ™ sets without Y-sites, and "epidural" stickers indicating ongoing epidural administration are recommended.
CDC guidelines or hospital policy • USE ONLY SYMBIQ™ administration sets with the SYMBIQ™ Infusion System. Use of unauthorized sets may result in injury to the patient or damage to the infuser. Hospira ®...
Cleaning Cautions • To avoid mechanical or electronic damage, DO NOT immerse the SYMBIQ™ Infusion System in fluids or cleaning solutions. DO NOT spray cleaning solutions in or near infuser openings. DO NOT allow cleaning solutions to saturate the air-in-line detectors or enter the infuser when cleaning the air-in-line detectors.

Many features of the SYMBIQ infuser system are configurable through the Hospira MedNet® software. For details on facility-defined configuration, contact the facility software administrator. Infuser Layout—Front Figure 1 depicts the front of a one-channel SYMBIQ™ Infusion System and the infuser touchscreen.
Touchscreen Buttons The SYMBIQ™ Infusion System touchscreen allows you to access and use on-screen buttons and keypads. A membrane covers the LCD display so a single keypress does not cause significant infuser pole movement nor is it mistaken for a double keypress. When an active touchscreen button is pressed, the infuser sounds an audible valid key tone.

Infuser Layout—Rear Figure 2 depicts the rear layout of the SYMBIQ™ Infusion System. Figure 2: Rear View and Layout of the SYMBIQ™ Infusion System Table 5 outlines features on the rear of the infuser that correspond to the numbers in Figure 2 above.
Chapter 2: Infuser Overview Rear Infuser AC Power Outlet The rear infuser AC power outlet on the back of the SYMBIQ™ Infusion System is specifically designed to accommodate one additional SYMBIQ™ Infuser. Never connect more than one additional infuser to the primary infuser connected to an AC power outlet; connecting any additional infusers may cause an electrical safety hazard.
The infuser will connect to the network if a wireless network access point is recognized. The SYMBIQ™ Infusion System supports wireless communication via an internal wireless communications module and antennae. Use the SYMBIQ™ Infusion System’s wired or wireless connectivity options to communicate with server-based networks or hospital local area networks.
Pole Clamp ONLY) Infuser Features The SYMBIQ™ Infusion System has three levels of features: • Channel Level—accessed by buttons on the infuser touchscreen.

The Power mode is used to power on and power off the infuser. AC Power When attached to an AC mains power source, the SYMBIQ™ Infusion System uses AC power regardless of the level of available battery power. Use AC power whenever possible; the battery is intended as a backup or emergency power source.
