Safety instructions

Operation

4.1.6
Stand in front of the device to operate
Q
it. This ensures that you are able to
reach all control elements and that the
display is clearly visible.
Establish a connection to the patient
Q
only after the infusion line has been
properly inserted and primed. Discon-
nect it from the patient when chang-
ing infusion line in order to prevent
unintended dose administration.
Only use approved infusion lines/
Q
catheters for the intended medical use.
Position the infusion line to the
Q
patient so that it does not have any
kinks.
Ensure that installation in rooms
Q
used for medical purposes is done in
accordance with the regulations (e.g.,
VDE 0100, VDE 0107 and/or IEC speci-
fications). Observe all country-specific
regulations and national deviations.
Do not operate the device near inflam-
Q
mable anaesthetics.
Always check the plausibility of the
Q
values shown on the display.
Ensure that there is additional patient
Q
supervision (e.g. monitoring) if life sus-
taining drugs are administered.
When administering highly-effective
Q
drugs, have a second device ready for
the drug.
Avoid mechanical effects on the
Q
device. If the device is moved while in
operation, the set delivery rate may be
exceeded/not be reached.
Irrespective of the soft limit, ensure
Q
that the values set for the patients are
the medically correct values.
When using the device near equipment
Q
that can cause higher interference
emissions (e.g. electrosurgical devices,
magnetic resonance imaging units,
mobile telephones) keep the device
the recommended safe distance away
from such equipment.

Alarms and staff call

4.1.7
The volume of the device's acoustic
Q
alarms can be adjusted for the envi-
ronmental conditions. This ensures
that the alarms are clearly audible.
Always monitor the pump alarms. The
Q
use of the accessory cable or staff call
does not adequately replace monitor-
ing the alarms.
Check the staff call before each use of
Q
the device.

Accessories and consumables

4.1.8
It is recommended that disposable
Q
items are changed after 96 hours
(see hygiene rules).
Only use pressure-tested disposable
Q
items (min. 2 bar/1500 mmHg).
Only use the device with accessories
Q
and consumables that have been
approved for use with the device.
Ensure adequate protection against
Q
free-flow before changing disposable
items.
Hydrophobic filters can further reduce
Q
the infusion of microbubbles.
