•
Ensure that the spike connector is properly attached to the external medication
container. Spike detachment from the external medication container could result
in under or non-delivery of medication.
•
When rigid - non collapsible external medication containers (e.g. glass bottles, hard
plastic bag) are used with a Rythmic™ spike set, then the air vent on the spike must be
opened and the container must be suspended from a pole.
•
When rigid – non collapsible external medication containers (e.g. glass bottles, hard
plastic bag) are used in ambulatory infusion (infusion during transportation), ensure that
the external medication container is always placed vertical.
•
In Rythmic™ Evolution Organiser pump range, the container must be suspended by
the bag hook placed inside the pump’s transparent cover.
•
All Rythmic™ Evolution Organiser pumps should be placed in pole, in non-ambulatory
infusion.
•
All Rythmic™ Evolution Organiser pumps can be transported using carrying belt,
handle or carrying bag. Ensure that the container inside the Organiser remains always in
vertical position.
•
Only collapsible containers should be used when the Mini Rythmic™ pump operates
in waist-shoulder carrying bag.
•
In all above cases, failure to follow the instructions may result in under or non-delivery
of medication and air infusion may occur, which could result in death or serious injury to
the patient.
•
Ensure that the transparent covers are securely closed, to prevent patient access to
medication container.
•
Ensure that the administration set has been properly installed and has not been
trapped in transparent covers or inside the carrying bag, as this may result in under or
non-delivery of medication, which could result in death or serious injury to patient.
•
Ensure that the release lever is locked in closed position and the tubing cover is
closed firmly. If the release lever or the tubing cover become loose may result in under or
non-delivery of medication.
