InfusionSets • To ensure correct and accurate operation, only use CareFusion single use infusion sets described in the 'Compatible Dedicated Infusion Sets' section of this Directions for Use. Use an infusion set with an anti- siphon valve whenever possible. The anti-siphon valve prevents free flow from occurring if an infusion set is incorrectly loaded or removed from the pump. - Page 9 However, it may be used in domestic establishments under the supervision of Medical professionals with additional necessary appropriate measures. (Consult Technical Service Manual, appropriately trained technical personnel or CareFusion for further information). • This pump is not intended to be used in the presence of a flammable anaesthetic mixture with air or oxygen or nitrous oxide.

Page 35: Trumpet And Flow Rate Curves
Alaris® GW Volumetric Pumps TrumpetandFlowRateCurves Trumpet and Flow Rate Curves In this pump, as with all infusion systems, the action of the pumping mechanism and variations cause short-term fluctuations in rate accuracy. The following curves show typical performance of the system in two ways: 1) the accuracy of fluid delivery over various time periods is measured (trumpet curves), and 2) the delay in onset of fluid flow when infusion commences (start-up curves). -
