• It is the responsibility of the healthcare provider to ensure patient is educated on the
proper use of the system.
• It is the responsibility of the healthcare provider to modify Patient Guidelines provided
with the pump as appropriate for your patients' clinical status and medication
prescribed.
CAUTIONS
• Do not use if package is open, damaged or a protector cap is missing.
• Single use only. Do not resterilize, refill or reuse.
Reuse of the device could result in the following risks:
• Improper functioning of the device (i.e., inaccurate flow rate)
• Increased risk of infection
• Occlusion of the device (i.e., impedes or stops infusion)
• The pump is sterile and non-pyrogenic.
• Product uses Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) plasticized PVC:
• DEHP is a commonly used plasticizer in medical devices. There is no conclusive
scientific evidence to date that exposure to DEHP has a harmful effect on humans.
However, the risk and benefit of using medical devices with DEHP for pregnant
women, breastfeeding mothers, infants and children should be evaluated prior to use.
• Certain solutions may be incompatible with the PVC material used in the
administration set. Consult drug package insert and other available sources of
information for a more thorough understanding of possible incompatibility problems.
• Do not underfill pump. Underfilling the pump may significantly increase the flow rate.
• Do not exceed maximum fill volume. (Table 1)
• The fill volume and infusion rate are labeled on the fill port.
• Flow rate is unpredictable if it is dialed between rate settings.
• Clamp is provided to stop the infusion. Do not remove or break clamp. Do not use
clamp as an intermittent delivery device.
• Roll tubing between fingers to promote flow if clamped for extended time.
• Avoid contact of cleansing agents (like soap and alcohol)
with the filter because leakage may occur from the air eliminating vent.
• Do not tape over filter(s) as this could block the air vent and impede the infusion.
• Do not immerse the pump in water. Take care to protect the pump during any activities,
which could cause the pump and filter to get wet, such as showering.
• In the event of any leakage from the pump or administration set, close tubing clamp.
Replace pump if necessary.
• Do not discard the pump and contact your representative for product return
instructions.
• Do not add unvented filter to end of the administration set as this may impede or stop
the flow rate.
• Flow rates may vary due to:
Fill volume
• Filling the pump less than the labeled volume results in faster flow rate.
• Filling the pump greater than the labeled results in slower flow rate.
Viscosity and/or drug concentration.
