CAUTION: ALWAYS keep extra driveline length tucked under clothing or secured with an
abdominal binder or dressing. Do not let any portion of driveline hang freely where it might get
caught on external items such as doorknobs or the corners of furniture.
CAUTION: DO NOT force connectors together without proper alignment. Forcing together
misaligned connectors may damage the connectors.
CAUTION: ALWAYS conrm that the power cables are properly locked to the controller by gently
pulling the cable near the connector.
CAUTION: DO NOT pull, twist or kink the driveline or power cables, especially while sitting, getting
out of bed, adjusting the controller or power sources, or when using the shower bag.

4.9 Changing Controller to Back-Up Controller (continued)
4.0 Emergencies and Alarms
For information on making good connections, see Section 3.2.
For more information on alarms, See Section 4.2.
Changing the Controller Guide is available from your clinician.
When doing a controller exchange, the priority is to restart your pump quickly.
It may be helpful to remember the 4 P’s:
1. POWER... Connect a power source to your back-up controller.
2. PUMP... Restart your pump by connecting your driveline to the new controller.
3. PREVENT... Prevent the [No Power] alarm on the original controller with the
red alarm adapter or by pressing the Scroll and Mute buttons at the same
time.
4. POWER... Connect a second power source to the new controller.
WARNING! DO NOT attach the alarm adapter to a controller that is connected to a running
pump. The alarm adapter silences the [No Power] alarm and should only be attached to a
controller that has failed or malfunctioned and is no longer connected to a pump.
WARNING! ALWAYS replace a controller if it has a blank display and/or no audible alarms.
WARNING! ALWAYS switch to the back-up controller if there is a [Controller Failed] alarm.
