may affect pump accuracy. Do not run the pump at a speed exceeding the limitation of the
catheter.
IMPORTANT:
• Always use only Laborie infusion pump tubing to ensure a properly and accurately
functioning system.
• Catheters, the saline bag, and the infusion pump tubing are consumables
intended for single use on a single patient only; they must be replaced after
every use.
• To maintain patient safety during normal use, the maximum pump speed is
preset to 150 ml/min.
• For information on proper use of the device, always refer to the Instructions for
Use provided with the consumable being used.
To set up the pump tubing, perform the following steps:
Scan the SmartSense tag affixed to the packaging by placing it against the RFID
reader located on the NXT docking station for approximately three seconds. Refer
to the section
NXT Docking Station on page 104 to view the SmartSense tag
reader.
Hang a bag of saline solution on the NXT cart infusion hook. Refer to the section
Infusion Volume Transducer on page 105. Insert the pump tubing spike into the
bag.
Close the tubing clamp to block the tubing and to stop the flow.
Squeeze and release the flexible drip chamber until fluid flows.
Open the tubing clamp and flush the line completely.
Open the pump door, position the compressible portion of the pump tubing across
the rollers, and then close the pump door.
NOTE: Do not stretch the compressible portion of the pump tubing during insertion; the
pump controls the tautness of the tubing insert.
To remove air bubbles from the pump tubing with Synergy, click the Prime Pump Tube On
button. Click the Prime Pump Tube Off button to turn off the pump. Synergy
automatically displays pump activation markers.
Attach the Luer-Lok connector of the tubing to the fill connection of a prepared
catheter.
2.6.1.1 Replacing the Pump Tubing
To replace the pump tubing, perform the following steps:
Close the tubing clamp.
Disconnect the pump tubing from the catheter.
Remove the pump tubing spike from the bag and empty the saline bag.
Open the pump door and remove the pump tubing. Discard the pump tubing
according to your institution’s standard operating procedures on medical waste
handling.
Set up the new pump tubing as described in the previous section, Infusion Pump
Tubing Setup.
