- Page 40 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.
