• For those patients who are likely to be adversely affected by
unintended operations and failures, including interrupted medi-

• If the pump is used to deliver life-sustaining medication, an
additional pump must be available.
• The pump is not to be used for delivery of blood or cellular

• If the pump is dropped or hit, inspect the pump for damage. Do
not use a pump that is damaged or is not functioning properly.
Contact Customer Service to return a pump for service.

in UNDER-DELIVERY of medication. Syringe function can be
adversely affected by variations in plunger dimension and lubric-
ity, which can result in greater force required to move the syringe

a result, the amount of under-delivery will increase which could
on occasion, be significant. Therefore, the type of medication
