Warnings and Cautions (Continued) WARNING This instrument is designed to stop fluid flow under alarm conditions. Periodic patient monitoring must be performed to ensure the infusion is proceeding as expected. WARNING This infusion device is a positive pressure delivery system, capable of developing positive fluid pressures to overcome widely varying resistances to flow encountered in practice, including resistances to flow imposed by small gauge catheters,...

Warnings and Cautions (Continued) Parallel Infusions There are no contraindications regarding the use of the System with any other positive displacement MEDLEY™ infusion device when ported together into a common IV site location. User Precautions To ensure proper performance of the System and to MEDLEY™...
Page 11
Warnings and Cautions (Continued) User Precautions (Continued) Artifacts It is normal for an infusion device to produce nonhazardous currents when infusing electrolytes. These currents vary proportional to the infusion device flow rate. When the monitoring system is not functioning under optimal conditions, these currents may appear as artifacts, simulating actual readings.

Warnings and Cautions (Continued) User Precautions (Continued) Radio Frequency Interference WARNING Operating the system near equipment which radiates high Use of accessories or cables other energy radio frequencies (electrosurgical/cauterizing than those specified may result in equipment, portable radios, cellular telephones, etc.) may degraded electromagnetic cause false alarm conditions.
Installation Procedure Instruments are tested and calibrated before they are packaged for shipment. They met the specifications listed in the Directions for Use at that time. To ensure proper operation after shipment, it is recommended that an incoming inspection be performed before placing the instrument in use.
