iXL™ Pump Care and Maintenance
Storage
Store unopened iXL Pumps in a cool, dry place. Extreme heat
or cold can damage pumps and cause them to malfunction.
If pumps are exposed to extreme temperatures, inspect them
carefully before use. Do not attach or use pump if its sterile
packaging is opened or damaged. Pumps are sterile unless
packaging is opened or damaged.
Cleaning
iXL Pumps are water tight. If you need to clean the pump, you
can gently wash it with a clean damp cloth. You can use a
clean, damp cloth, or use mild soap and water. However, do not
use strong detergents or solvents. They can damage the pump’s
casing or irritate the infusion site.
Hold your pump securely and take care while cleaning
the pump so the catheter doesn’t get kinked and the
pump doesn’t become detached.
iXL™ Remote Controller Care and Maintenance
Storage
When you are not actively using the remote to enter or change
programs, you can store it in a convenient, nearby location. The
storage location should be a cool, dry place.
Do NOT store or leave the remote where it may be
exposed to extreme temperatures, such as inside a car.
Extreme heat or cold can cause the device to malfunction.
If the remote is not safe from children or others who may press
the buttons unintentionally, consider activating the optional
Remote lock safety feature that prevents accidental program
changes (see Chapter 6, iXL Remote Controller Features).
Cleaning
You can clean the outside of the remote with a clean, damp cloth.
Do NOT use soap, detergent, or solvents. Never put any liquid
into the battery compartment.
If the battery compartment becomes soiled, gently shake out the
debris or use a dry, lint-free cloth to remove it.
