B. Braun Medical shall not be liable for any incidental or consequential loss, damage, or expense, directly or indirectly arising from the use of this device other than replacement of all or part of it. B. Braun Medical neither assumes, nor authorizes any other person to assume for it, another or additional liability or responsibility in connection with this device.
Intended Use The Horizon Nxt® is intended for use with B. Braun Medical Horizon® I.V. sets to regulate the flow of primary and secondary fluids when positive pressure is required. The infusion system is capable of delivering fluid from a negative head height (when the I.V. fluid container is lower than the pump), and provides clinically accepted volumetric accuracy for all standard I.V.
Blood Infusion The Horizon Nxt can be used for infusion of blood and blood products. For blood infusion, a Horizon Pump Blood Set should be used. Do not attempt to piggyback blood. The normal saline roller clamp on the blood tubing set must be clamped off.
Chapter 2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The Horizon Nxt® has been developed in reponse to the special needs of all caregivers in the medical setting. Operating Modes The Horizon Nxt pump has five operating modes: Standard Mode - for simple IV fluid delivery with piggyback capability.
