Preparing for an Infusion
Preparing the Primary Infusion Container and Set
Always read and follow the instructions which accompany the source container
and administration sets you are using. Carefully follow any label copy
instructions for loading, removing, and reloading the set, as well as the
recommended set change interval. For optimal pump performance, set use
should not exceed the change interval shown on the set's label copy or 72 hours,
whichever is less.
Clinicians are advised to verify the proper route of delivery and that the infusion
site is patent. When using this pump, periodic patient monitoring must be
performed to ensure that the infusion is proceeding as expected. The pump is
capable of developing positive fluid pressures to overcome widely varying
resistances to flow such as resistance imposed by small-gauge catheters, filters,
or intra-arterial infusions. Although the pump is designed to stop fluid flow when
an alarm occurs, it is neither designed nor intended to detect infiltrations and will
not alarm under infiltration conditions.
