1.1 PUMP OVERVIEW The T34 is a small, lightweight, robust, battery powered infusion pump. The size and weight of the T34 makes it ideal for ambulatory use in a hospital or alternate site / homecare setting. It is equally suitable for adults or paediatric use.
1.5 ABOUT THIS MANUAL The operator must be thoroughly familiar with the T34 syringe pump described in this manual prior to use, and in particular must read and understand any warnings and precautions stated herein. If a soft- ware change occurs and the operation/specification for the pump changes, new or additional operat- ing instructions will be issued, if needed.

Remove the T34 syringe pump and accessories from the packaging and inspect for damage during shipment or storage. WARNING: Do not use the T34 syringe pump if there are any obvious signs of damage. Return for inspection by authorised service personnel.
Zinc-carbon batteries (marked 6F22 or 6R61 (for example a PP3) are not recommended for use with the T34. These batteries perform poorly and need to be replaced more often. Do not use non-alkaline T34. These batteries perform poorly and need to be replaced more often. Do not use non-alkaline batteries.

The keypad has a locking feature that prevents unintentional powering off of the unit. As well as the ability to lock or limit certain infusion parameters or pump settings, the T34 pump allows users to lock the operation of the keypad if concerned about patients, relatives or un-trained personnel tampering with the pump.
If the pump is resumed/restarted following the backward movement of the actuator the user will notice that time is added to the time remaining to protect the original calculated rate. CME Medical T34 Operations Manual Rev 1.4 CME Medical T34 Operation Manual Rev 1.4...
WARNING: Some manufacturers have several brand names within their ranges (e.g. Braun Omnifix and Braun Perfusor). Only use the brands named above with the T34 as failing to do so could result in an under or over infusion.

2.19 KVO (Keep Vein Open) OPERATION The T34 can be configured to deliver a KVO infusion to commence at END PROGRAM to keep the patients access device patent. With KVO enabled T34 applies the KVO rate set until the syringe is empty.
WARNING: Do not clean the syringe pump with chemicals such as Xylene, Acetone or similar solvents. These chemicals can cause damage to components and labels. WARNING: Do not soak or immerse any part of the T34 in water or any other solution, immersing the pump in liquid could cause damage to components.
You must refer to local policy for specific use of the T34 syringe pump and the use of accessories for your clinical area and organisation. If the pump has been configured to local requirements screen sequences and screen information may vary from these shown in this manual.
