1.Warnings and Cautions
Warning
Failure to follow precautions below may result in the risk of death or injury to patients.
A) The Syringe Pump uses motor-driven screw for medical fluid infusion, but cannot detect leakage
caused by disconnection or crack of infusion set. It is required to inspect the infusion status regularly to
prevent above problems.
B) During infusion process, please regularly check the status of the residual liquid inside the disposable
syringe (Hereinafter referred to as the syringes) to ensure correct performance of the infusion.
C) The Syringe Pump has occlusion detection function. It gives occlusion alarm when the infusion needle
fails to insert into intravenous vein properly or the needle deviates from its position inside the vein
during infusion. As occlusion alarm is given only after the occlusion pressure reaching a certain value,
the area around the needle may already become swollen or bleeding at this time. In addition, the
occlusion alarm is not given maybe because the actual occlusion pressure not large enough to reach
the occlusion alarm gate, therefore, it needs to check the insertion area regularly. If the insertion area
seems abnormal, please take proper treatments such as re-inserting the needle.
D) Infusion flow blockage that caused by infusion set knotting, filter or needle blocking, or needle occurring
thrombosis etc. may lead to pressure increase inside the infusion set. Solving such blockage may be
followed by temporary large-volume infusion. The correct method is to clamp the IV set near the
insertion area tight before releasing the pressure. Then release the IV set, get rid of the occlusion
problem and restart operation. If infusion restarting with blockage remains, occlusion alarm shall sound
again and the pressure inside the tube may keep increasing, which may result in disconnection or
crack of the tube and further bring harm to the patient.
E) Use the disposable sterilized syringe consistent with GB15810-2001. When choosing an infusion line, it
is advisable to use the syringe with screw and extension tube. Otherwise, it may do harm to patients
when the IV tubing is stretched.
F) The user must install the syringe correctly. Otherwise, infusion may not reach expected performance.
G) Avoid repeated use or re-sterilizing of disposable syringe. After using, the syringes should be handled in
accordance with the appropriate guidelines.
H) Fix the Syringe Pump well to infusion stand and also ensure the stability of the stand. Be cautious when
moving the stand and the Syringe Pump to prevent the Syringe Pump falling off or the stand collision
