WARNING
It is important to use the correct inlet type for the container.
Using the incorrect
inlet type can lead to occlusions and incorrect ingredient delivery, resulting in
patient harm.
4. Attach the inlet to the port.
a. Locate the inlet type specified in the ingredient detail window.
b. Remove the inlet from its packaging materials and gently uncurl it. Do not pull or
stretch the inlet.
WARNING
A kink in the tube, a plugged vent on a vial or bottle inlet or a plugged
inlet spike can cause the compounder to deliver incorrect ingredient
volumes, resulting in patient harm. After attaching the inlets, visually
check that the tubes are not kinked or plugged.
c. Check that the inlet is not kinked or plugged.
d. On the valve set, locate the port number specified at the ingredient detail
window.
Tip! To locate an odd-numbered port, Baxter recommends locating the next,
even-numbered port in the front row. For example, to attach an inlet to port 3,
look for port 4 in the front row and then attach the inlet to the port directly
behind it (port 3). Avoid leaning over the compounder.
e. Grasp the port cap with one hand, remove the port cap and immediately attach
the inlet with your other hand.
5. Spike and hang the container.
CAUTION
The pictures and instructions on the following pages are for reference only.
When spiking the container, use proper technique as identified by your
facility’s protocol.
