5.2.1.4 General Guidelines
• The charger plug and power switch areas must be kept clean and dry at all
times. Do not clean the pump while the charger is plugged in.
• Some liquids spilled into the barrel clamp area may temporarily cause
excessive CHECK SYRINGE, CHECK FLANGE OR CHECK BARREL
messages. Proper operation is generally restored after the barrel clamp dries.
• If routine cleaning does not restore proper operation, the pump should be
removed from service and given a “service cleaning”. This procedure is
described in Section 5.2.2.
• The pump may not be sterilized by autoclave, ETO, gamma ray, or any other
method that is harmful to plastic materials or electronic devices.
• Do not use spray solvents or any type of penetrating oil.
