Removing a Cassette
WARNING: Per general rules of safe practice, always clamp the tubing before removing the cassette from
the pump. Removing the cassette without closing the clamp could potentially cause unregulated gravity
infusion, which could result in patient injury or death.
To remove the cassette:
1. Make sure the pump is stopped before removing the cassette.
2. Close the tubing clamp.
3. If locked, insert the pump key and turn the cassette/keypad lock counter-clockwise
into the unlocked position. “Cassette Unlocked” briefly appears in the status bar.
4. Push down on the cassette latch until the cassette detaches.
Starting the Pump
Starting the pump starts delivery. When the pump is running, “Running” appears with green highlighting
on the status bar and the green indicator light flashes. If the pump does not start, a message appears on the
display. Refer to the “Alarms and Messages” on page 58.
Note: Before starting the pump, ensure correct protocol and patient specific parameters are displayed (see
Patient Specific Parameters page 45). Also be sure the tubing is primed and the pump is connected to
the patient, according to your facility’s standards of practice.
To start the pump:
1. Press stop/start 9.
Note: If the patient specific parameters have not been reviewed and the
values have not been accepted, the pump requires you to do so before
the pump will run. If a clinical advisory note has been defined by your
facility for the selected protocol, it will appear after accepting all values.
To acknowledge the clinical advisory note, select OK. If you have a
question about the note, contact your PharmGuard® system
administrator.
2. When “Start Pump?” appears, select Yes.
Stopping the Pump
Stopping the pump stops delivery. When the pump is stopped, “Stopped” appears with red highlighting on
the status bar, the amber indicator light flashes, and the green indicator light is off.
Note: Stopping the pump while an Intermittent Bolus is in progress will cancel the remainder of the
Intermittent Bolus dose.
To stop the pump:
1. Press stop/start 9.
Note: If a PCA dose or clinician bolus is in progress, “Stop PCA dose?” or
“Stop clinician bolus?” appears. Select Yes to stop the dose.
2. When “Stop Pump?” appears, select Yes.
