PATIENT SAFETY
• Compare physician order to programming parameters including drug name,
patient profile and dosing prior to starting infusion.
• Check default values pre-populated from drug library with physician order
prior to starting infusion.
• Consider additional monitoring which may be required when infusing high
risk medications.
• Consider plausibility of calculated flow rate for infusions
programme
d with
BSA to assist in determining accuracy of patient height and weight values.
• If staff call is used, it is recommended to check the equipment once after
connecting the pump to insure staff call is working.
• If the pump is dropped or is exposed to force, it must be checked by the
service department.
• The default values and limits of the Drug Library provide a safety net and are
not
in
tended to be used to define treatment.
• Changes in position of pump height in relation to patient during infusion
may lead to minor changes in flow accuracy.
• Do not allow liquids to enter into or come into contact with any openings or
electrical connections on the pump or power supply. Fluid exposure in these
areas may result in the risk of short circuit, corrosion or breakdown of
sensiti
ve
electrical components, and/or electrical shock. If fluid exposure
occurs, the device should be swapped out with another device in a manner
that presents minimal interruption to patient care. The device should remain
unplugged until it can be inspected by a trained technician for any evidence
of damage and/or residual moisture which may impair the function of the
device.
Safety Standards
Infuso
mat® Space satisfies all safety standards for medical electrical devices in
compliance with IEC 60601-1:2005 and IEC 60601-2-24: 2012.
• The EMC-limits (electro-magnetic compatibility) according to IEC 60601-1-
2:2007 and IEC 60601-2-24: 2012 are maintained. If the equipment is
operated in the vicinity of other equipment which may cause high levels of
interference (e.g. HF surgical equipment
, n
uclear spin tomography units,
mobile telephones etc.) may be disturbed. Maintain the protective distances
recommended by the manufacturers of these devices.
• During transport of patients within the facility the Infusomat® Space needs
to be fixed on a suitable restraint system by means of SpaceStation,
Pole Clamp SP or Space Pole Clamp (speed clamp).
• When stored under temperature conditions
b
eyond the defined operating
conditions the Infusomat® Space needs to remain under room temperature at
least one hour before usage.
