Only use a syringe of the type stated on the pump or in this manual. Using an incorrect syringe could adversely affect
the accuracy of the infusion and the performance of the pump.
When initially loading the syringe, allow for the volume of fluid contained in the extension set and retained in the
syringe at the end of infusion as this "dead-space" will not be infused.
Place the pump on a stable horizontal surface or secure as described above.
Prepare, load and prime the single-use disposable syringe and extension set using standard aseptic techniques.
1. Squeeze the finger grips together on the plunger holder and slide the mechanism to the right. Pull the syringe clamp forward and
down.
A
To ensure the syringe is loaded correctly, place the barrel flange in the space between the syringe clamp and the
syringe flange clamp. This is correct if the syringe remains in position before the syringe clamp is closed.
2. Insert the syringe ensuring that the barrel flange is located in the slots on the syringe flange clamp.
3. Lift the syringe clamp until it locks against the syringe barrel.
4. Squeeze the finger grips on the plunger holder and slide the mechanism to the left until it reaches the plunger end.
5. Release the finger grips. Ensure that the plunger grippers are securing the plunger in place and the finger grip returns to its original
position.
A
Secure the extension set using the extensio n set hook at the rear of the pump. This provides protection against
accidental dislodging of the syringe from the pump.
Ensure that both plunger grippers are fully locked onto the plunger flange and the upper finger grip has returned to
its original position.
