2.6 ChangingFluidReservoir
WARNING: Notfollowingyourfacility’sasepticprocedurestoproperlychangetheuid
reservoirmaycontaminatetheuidpath.Itisbeyondthescopeofthismanual
to provide the aseptic technique training. If you are unsure of how to perform
this task, consult your facility or supervisor.
WARNING: Donotuseasyringeasauidreservoir,becauseunder-infusionwilloccur.
Priortochangingtheuidreservoirputthepumpinpausemode(seeSection4.2for
instructions). Failure to do so will cause the pump to alarm when the pump attempts to infuse
medication.
2.7 BatteryInstallationandReplacement
The pump is powered by two AA 1.5V batteries. Alkaline batteries are recommended and have
been used to develop the data in this manual.
CAUTION: Summit Medical Products, Inc. has not validated all types of batteries (non-
alkaline,rechargeable,specicbrands,previously-used,etc.);therefore,we
cannotensurethatanyspecicbatterywillpowerthepumpforaspecicperiod
of time. The battery condition and pump settings will determine how the battery
will perform with regard to the pump. For this reason, the time before the low
battery alarm occurs and the time between low and dead battery alarms is
difculttopredictwithnon-alkalineorrechargeablebatteries.
NOTE: Summit Medical Products, Inc. recommends that the batteries be changed at the
end of each session or when the low battery alarm occurs.
Thepumpmemoryisdesignedtoretainprogramsettingsandinfusionhistoryforuptosix
months without power. Failure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions while replacing
batteries may result in loss of program settings and report data. Do not store batteries in the
pump.
2.7.1 BatteryInstallation

If the pump is in run mode place the pump in pause mode by pushing
the RUN/PAUSE button (see Section 4.2).
