Page 23
Before preparing the secondary line, observe the following guidelines: Review the backpriming function (see Section 6.4, Backpriming ) Use sets with an appropriate secondary port Attach the secondary line, syringe, or vial to the appropriate secondary cassette inlet using an 18- or 19- gauge, 1-1/4 inch (or shorter) needle, blunt cannula, or male adapter ...
Page 24
Syringe: Invert the syringe and expel the air (syringe adapter with blunt cannula is shown). Attach the secondary container to the secondary inlet port (capped port shown on the left, prepierced port on the right). Syringe: When using a 3 to 5 cc syringe, retract the plunger to draw approximately 1 mL of air into the syringe to clear fluid from...

6.0 PROGRAMMING The Plum XL Micro/Macro has the following delivery modes: Primary only delivery Secondary only delivery Piggyback delivery When a rate and a VTBI are entered for the primary line and no settings are entered for the secondary line, the Plum XL will deliver primary only.
Page 26
Primary Only Delivery To program the Plum XL for primary only delivery, proceed as follows: Turn the control dial to SET HOLD/RESET SET VTBI RATE. CLEAR SET RATE CHARGE Press the [PRI-SEC] key to select the primary line (if it is not already selected).
Page 27
Turn the control dial to RUN. Primary only delivery begins. (Optional): Set the panel lockout switch to locked to prevent unauthorized tampering of the device (see Section 6.8, Lockout ) . Secondary Only Delivery To program the Plum XL for secondary only delivery, proceed as follows: Confirm that the primary rate and the VTBI are set to 0 (zero) before programming secondary only...

8.0 PRECAUTIONS For optimum operation of the Plum XL Micro/Macro, observe the following precautions. Artifacts Nonhazardous, low level electrical potentials are commonly observed when fluids are administered using infusion devices. These potentials are well within accepted safety standards, but may create artifacts on voltage sensing equipment such as ECG, EMG, and EEG machines.
Page 41
Consult the drug container labeling to confirm drug compatibility, concentration, delivery rates, and volumes are all suitable for intermittent or continuous secondary or piggyback delivery mode. Setting the primary rate greater than the secondary rate will result in a more rapid infusion of any residual secondary drug remaining in the line and the cassette.
Page 42
For epidural administration, the use of a nylon catheter ® (Hospira List No. 1193) or a Teflon catheter (Hospira List No. 6947), pump sets without Y-sites and "epidural" stickers indicating ongoing epidural administration are recommended.
Page 43
take longer to return to normal. If overdelivery occurs during administration, observe the patient closely for signs of spinal cord compression (disorientation, headache, transient neuralgias) and drug overdose. Battery Operation The battery may not be fully charged upon receipt. Connect the Plum XL to AC power for at least eight hours with the control dial in the OFF CHARGE setting.
Page 44
Use 19-gauge or larger needle or catheter for viscous fluids if operating at rates greater than 500 mL/hr.Use a cassette with a capped secondary port when delivering viscous fluids on the secondary line. Backpriming Backpriming is not recommended for reconstituting secondary containers containing dry powders.
Page 45
Certain cleaning and sanitizing compounds may slowly degrade components made from some plastic materials. Using abrasive cleaners or cleaning solutions not recommended by Hospira may result in product damage. Do not use compounds containing combinations of isopropyl alcohol and dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride.

Battery Maintenance The Plum XL is battery powered for emergency backup and temporary portable operation. A fully charged new battery will provide approximately eight hours of operation at 125 mL/hr or 1000 mL volume delivered per pumping unit, whichever occurs first. The Plum XL should be operated on battery power for six continuous hours at least once every six months for optimum performance and battery life.
