Pump Setup and Programming

Installing or Replacing the Batteries

Use new, AA (IEC LR6) alkaline batteries such as DURACELL® or
EVEREADY® ENERGIZER® batteries. The pump retains all programmed
values while the batteries are removed. Some of the programmed values
are retained in RAM memory that is supported by an internal battery for
5 years from date of manufacture.
Dispose of used batteries in an environmentally safe manner, and accord-
ing to any regulations which may apply.
WARNING:
• Do not use rechargeable NiCad or nickel metal hydride (NiMH)
batteries. Do not use carbon zinc ("heavy duty") batteries. They
do not provide sufficient power for the pump to operate properly,
which could result in death or serious injury to the patient.
• Always have new batteries available for replacement. If power is
lost, non-delivery of medication will occur, and depending on the
type of medication being administered, could result in death or
serious injury to the patient.
• If the pump is dropped or hit, the battery door or tabs may break.
Do not use the pump if the battery door or tabs are damaged be-
cause the batteries will not be properly secured; this may result in
loss of power, non-delivery of medication, and depending on the
type of medication being administered, death or serious injury to
the patient.
