Syringes not specified in IEC/EN 60601-2-24
Nutrition pumps, in contrast to infusion pumps, are not classified as Class IIa according
to the infusion pump norm IEC/EN 60601-2-24. There are therefore no direct guide-
lines concerning the technical characteristics (accuracy of infusion rate, alarm
parameters etc) of the relevant disposables.
The syringes types listed in the following tables can be used with the Perfusor® Space.
However, due to the relatively high tolerances allowed in the disposables, the accuracy
of infusion rate and the alarm parameters are not comparable with infusion syringes.
Precautions must be taken as follows:
• Consider the risks involved in the use of a non LuerLock connection prior to
the therapy
• Permanently observe the connection between the syringe and the infusion
set, in order to detect any break in the connection
• If syringe and tubing line are not fixed, a disconnection can occur possibly
leading to air infusion, reverse infusion, under- /over delivery and/or
nonsterility.
