WARNINGS
• Use only Curlin Medical administration sets in your Curlin Medical pump. Use of
nonproprietary administration sets may alter accuracy in delivery of fluids and could result
in over or under infusions, leading to possible patient injury or death.
• Do not use this pump with a pressure cuff applied to the IV bag or medication reservoir
bag, and do not unduly squeeze or compress the bag during a running infusion.
• Remove all air from the administration set and IV bag or reservoir before connecting it to
a patient’s access site.
• Do NOT prime the administration set while it is connected to the patient’s access device.
Doing so could result in overdosing the patient and could cause injury or death.
• Do not attempt to open the pump’s housing. All service problems should be referred to
an appropriate service technician.
• Danger: Risk of explosion if used in the presence of flammable anesthetic or explosive
gasses.
CAUTIONS
• U.S. federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician or other
licensed practitioner.
• Visually inspect the pump, pumping chamber and administration set before use. Do not
use any pump or administration set that appears to be damaged or tampered with or if
there is any indication of improper function.
• Keep the pumping surfaces clean, dry, and free of fluid spillage at all times.
• This pump is fluid resistant and can withstand fluid spillage. It is not, however, designed
for total submersion as moisture buildup within the case could cause damage to the
operating components. Do not use the pump in the shower, sauna, or steam bath, and
do not position the pump where it could accidentally be dropped into a container of fluid
(e.g., basin, tub, or toilet). Avoid fluid contact with the power port and data port of the
pump.
• Do not try to insert foreign objects into any of the pump connectors, as such objects may
damage the pump.
• Use only Curlin Medical external power sources to power the Curlin Medical pump.
Using other power sources may result in circuitry or microprocessor damage.
• When using the AC Adapter, connect the plug only into a grounded AC outlet.
• Use only non-rigid, non-vented IV fluid containers unless an air vent adapter is in place
and the container is suspended from an IV pole.
• Do not unduly stretch the tubing of the administration set or leave the tubing in the
pump for more than twenty-four hours when the pump is not running.
• Use Curlin Medical administration sets with appropriate air-in-line filters any time the
Air-In-Line Sensor of the pump is disabled.
