11. See icon descriptions in Section III - Icon Identification and Section X - Specifications and Symbols for additional
safety information.
12. This device is designed to minimize the effects of uncontrolled electromagnetic interference and other types of interference
from external sources. Avoid use of other equipment that may cause erratic operation or degradation in the performance of
this device.
13. Warning: The serial I/O port (see Figure 1A) is intended only for use with the approved communication cable
(Part Number 382499).
Any other equipment that can be connected to the DB9 Serial I/O port may lead to a reduced level of safety of the pump.
• The Covidien approved Communication Cable (Part Number 382499) is specifically approved as complying with the safety
requirements for accessories used with the pump, whereas the safety approval of the accessory has been performed in
accordance to the appropriate IEC 60601-1 and/or IEC 60601-1-1 harmonized standard.
• Connection of the pump to other equipment could result in previously unidentified risks. Before connecting to other
equipment, the risks of using the pump with this equipment should be identified, analyzed, evaluated, and controlled prior
to use.
14. Caution: This enteral feeding pump should only be used for patients who can tolerate the flow rates and accuracy levels
delivered by the pump. Premature infants may require higher accuracy rates than specified for this enteral feeding pump.
15. Do not attempt to rotate the valve stem inside the feeding set valve assembly. Rotation of the valve stem can only be done by
the pump while the valve assembly is properly loaded into the pump.
16. Should feeding sets require rinsing, it is recommended that the feeding sets be rinsed while they are loaded in the pump.
17. Used feeding sets should be disposed of in accordance with current hospital procedure or local disposal guidelines.
18. Caution: Ensure buzzer hole is unobstructed during normal operation so as to allow clear recognition of alarm. Inability to hear
the alarms could pose a serious risk to the patient, since the operator may not hear an alarm.
19. Caution: The battery cells used in this device may present a fire or chemical hazard if mistreated. Do not disassemble, heat
above 100°C (212°F), or incinerate.
20. Danger: Strangulation Hazard. Avoid leaving power adapter wires, feeding set tubing or other choking hazards where infants
or young children can become caught. If these objects get wrapped around a child's neck, strangulation and death can occur.
21. Danger: The pump and disposable feeding set all contain small parts which could become detached and pose a choking hazard.
Some of these components could be inhaled or swallowed by a small child, toddler, or infant, which could result in suffocation
and death. Keep all small components out of reach of small children.
22. Danger: Explosion Hazard. Do not use the pump in the presence of flammable anesthetics. Flammable anesthetics can ignite
due to a spark within the unit, which could result in fire or explosion.
23. Danger: Do not power the pump while plugged into a power outlet above 2000m altitude, especially while on an airplane
or other air vehicle. Do not attempt to charge the pump battery above 2000m altitude. Failure to comply could result in
overheating, fire, or explosion of the internal rechargeable battery pack. Run the pump only using the internal pump battery
power in these situations.
24. Caution: Do not store the pump or power adapter at temperatures >50°C (122°F). This can damage the equipment sensors,
which will prevent the pump from operating under normal conditions.
25. Warning: Do not modify this equipment without authorization of the manufacturer. Modification of any devices or accessories
can result in physical hazards including delayed therapy, over delivery, under delivery, electrocution, and fire. These hazards
could result in patient injury or death.
26. Caution: The power adapter wires, feeding set tubing, and pump accessories may cause a tripping hazard. Avoid leaving wires,
cords, or tubing in a pathway where a person could trip on them and sustain an injury.
