Starting The Pump - Smiths Medical CADD-Prizm VIP Manual

Starting the Pump

When you start the pump, it will review the program, and then begin
delivering medication. If the pump will not start, a message should
appear on the display. Refer to the Messages and Alarms section on
page 25.
WARNING: Prior to starting infusion, inspect the fluid path for
kinks, a closed clamp, or other upstream obstructions, and
remove all air bubbles to prevent air embolism. An undetected
upstream occlusion may result in under‑ or non‑delivery of drug
and, depending on the drug being administered, could result
in death or serious injury. Air embolism can result in death or
serious injury.
