PATIENT SAFETY
• Only connect to patient once the syringe has been inserted correctly and
there is proper fixation of the syringe pressure plate by the claws of the drive
head. Interrupt connection during syringe change to prevent incorrect dose
delivery.
•
Select syringe/catheter suitable for use with the intended medical application.
4w Caution: Position the infusion line free of kinks.
•
Recommended change of disposable each 24 h (or as per national hygiene
regulations).
•
Installation in medically used rooms must comply with the appropriate
regulations (e.g. VDE 0100, VDE 0107 or IEC-publications). Observe national
specifications and deviations.
4w Caution: Operate the pump at least 25 cm from flammable anaesthetics
to prevent explosion
•
Compare the displayed value with the entered value prior to starting
infusion.
•
If staff call is used we recommend checking the equipment once after
connecting the pump.
•
Protect the device and the power supply against moisture.
•
Do not carry the pump device by it's drive mechanism during transportation.
•
If the pump device falls or is exposed to force it needs to be examined by the
service department.
•
The displayed data must always be checked by the user prior to making
further medical decisions.
•
During mobile use (homecare, patient transport inside and outside the
hospital): Make sure the device is securely fixed and positioned. Positioning
changes and severe shock can lead to minor changes in the delivery accuracy
and/or unintentional bolus administration.
•
A supplemental patient monitoring must be carried out if life-saving
medication is performed.
•
Avoid applying external force on the drive mechanism during administration.
•
In case high potent drugs are given be sure to have a second infusion pump
for that drug at hand. The therapy documentation should be suitable to
continue the therapy at the second infusion pump.
•
Independant of the soft limits the selected values have to be the medically
correct ones for the given patient.
•
In case values relevant for the dose rate calculation (e.g. body weight) are
changing always the flow rate will be updated and the dose rate will be fix.
•
Consider startup characteristics before using low infusion rates (0.1ml/h)
with critical drugs.
