Cautions - CADD Legacy Plus 6500 Operator's Manual

If you are using a CADD™ Administration Set or Medication Cassette
Reservoir that does not have the flow stop feature (catalog number
does not start with 21-73xx): You must use a CADD™ Extension Set
with an integral Anti-Siphon Valve or a CADD™ Administration
Set with either an integral or Add On Anti-Siphon Valve to protect
against unregulated gravity infusion that can result from an improp-
erly attached cassette.
•
Do not prime the fluid path with the tubing connected to a patient as
this could result in overdelivery of medication or air embolism.
•
Ensure that the entire fluid path is free of all air bubbles before con-
necting to the patient to prevent air embolism.
•
Prior to starting infusion, inspect the fluid path for kinks, a closed
clamp, or other upstream occlusions, and remove any air to prevent
air embolism.
•
The use of Power Supplies other than those listed in the Electromag-
netic emissions declaration may result in increased emissions or
decreased immunity of the Pump.
•
The Pump should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment.
If adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the user should verify normal opera-
tion of the pump in the configuration in which it is to be used.
•
There are potential health hazards associated with improper disposal of
batteries, electronics, and contaminated (used) reservoirs and extension
sets. Dispose of used batteries, reservoirs, extension sets and other used
accessories, or a pump that has reached the end of its useful life, in an envi-
ronmentally safe manner, and according to any regulations that may apply.

Cautions

•
Do not operate the pump at temperatures below +2°C (36°F) or above
40°C (104°F).
•
Do not store the pump at temperatures below -20°C (-4°F) or above
60°C (140°F). Do not store the pump with the Medication Cassette
Reservoir or CADD™ Administration Set attached. Use the Protective
Cassette provided.
