WARNING:
• A hazard can exist if different alarm styles are used on multiple pumps in the same single care area, for
example, a critical care area or operating room. Auditory alarm signal sound levels that are less than
ambient levels can hinder operator recognition of alarm conditions.
• Always set the Delivery Limit amount alarm, Reservoir Volume Low alarm, and all other variable alarm
settings to clinically appropriate settings. Setting alarm limits to values not clinically safe for the patient
may cause patient harm due to a delay in therapy.
Note: The measured audible alarm sound pressure level range, as tested in accordance with IEC 60601-1-8, is
53 (±4) dBA for high priority alarms and 50 (±4) dBA for medium priority alarms.
Exposure to Radiation or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
CAUTION:
• The pump should not be directly irradiated by therapeutic levels of ionizing radiation due to of the risk
of permanent damage to the pump’s electronic circuitry. The best procedure to follow is to remove the
pump from the patient during therapeutic radiation sessions or diagnostic levels of radiographic and
fluoroscopic radiation. If the pump must remain in the vicinity during a diagnostic or therapy session, it
should be shielded, and its ability to function properly should be confirmed following treatment.
• Do not expose the pump directly to ultrasound, as permanent damage to the electronic circuitry may
occur.
• The pump is considered MR Unsafe and should not be exposed to or used in the MRI environment because
the pump is not intended or designed to be used in the MRI environment. Exposing the pump to strong
magnetic fields can damage the pump.
• Use of this pump on patients monitored by electronic equipment may cause artifactual interference. As
with all electronic equipment, electrical artifacts which affect the performance of other equipment, such as
ECG monitors, can occur. The user should check the correct function of the equipment prior to use.
• Do not use the pump in hyperbaric chambers as they affect how the pump works and may also cause
damage to the pump.
Cleaning and Disinfecting the Pump and Accessories
WARNING:
• The pump and reusable accessories should be cleaned and disinfected after each patient use and in
accordance with this manual and your organization’s policies and procedures for reusable, solid surface,
non-critical medical devices. Failure to do so could result in serious patient injury or death.
• Ensure that debris is not allowed to build up on the pressure plate surface of the pumping mechanism.
Inspect the air detector sensor slot and remove any debris. A blocked air detector sensor may not detect air
present in the fluid path, which could result in serious patient injury or death.
CAUTION:
• Do not immerse the pump in cleaning fluid or water. Do not allow solution to soak into the pump,
accumulate on the keypad, or enter the battery compartment, USB port, remote dose cord jack, or power
jack areas. Moisture buildup inside the pump may damage the pump.
• Do not oversaturate the chassis area on the bottom of the pump with cleaning or disinfecting solutions.
Oversaturating this area can cause damage to the pump sensors over time.
• Do not clean the pump with acetone, other plastic solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as damage to the pump
may occur. Also refer to the instructions for use for each accessory before proceeding with cleaning and
disinfecting. Some accessories may have their own list of acceptable cleaning and disinfecting solutions.
