WARNINGS
• In a life sustaining situation it is recommended that your Curlin Infusion pump use the AC
Adaptor and have a back-up pump available. Also provide an extra set of C-cell batteries in
addition to the batteries that are installed in the pumps.
• User should be aware that the error in delivered drug volume may exceed +5% when a syringe
is used with the Curlin Infusion pump.
A mechanical problem, known as “stiction,” may occur when the syringe is operated at low
plunger speeds. e friction between the syringe plunger and the barrel causes the plunger
to stick, then moves forward in a jerking motion, and the uid will be delivered as a series
of boluses. is eect will cause variations larger than 5% in the delivered volume. e t
between the syringe plunger and the barrel may vary from batch to batch and, consequently,
the stiction eect may also vary.
Due to this potential error, the delivery of powerful drugs with short half lives, such as
catecholamines is not recommended.
• Prevent direct exposure to radiations. Secure an essential infusion pump outside of the radiation
eld using extension tubing if required.
• Use only Moog Curlin Infusion administration sets in your Moog Curlin Infusion pump.
• Use of nonproprietary administration sets may alter accuracy in delivery of uids and could
result in over or under infusions, leading to possible patient injury or death.
• Visually inspect the pump, pumping chamber and administration set before use. Do not use
any pump or administration set that appears to be damaged or tampered with or if there is any
indication of improper function.
• Do not use this pump with a pressure cu applied to the IV bag or medication reservoir bag,
and do not unduly squeeze or compress the bag during a running infusion.
• Remove all air from the administration set and IV bag or reservoir before connecting it to a
patient’s access site.
• Damage to the pump due to dropping or impact while the door is open can cause intermittent
free ow conditions and loss of pump accuracy, but may not be visible through inspection.
Volumetric testing is the only method to conrm proper function.
NOTE: Anti-siphon Valve (ASV) administration sets can be used to provide additional
free-ow protection.
Note: is procedure does not replace the recommended annual preventive maintenance. e
pump should receive preventive maintenance by a qualied technician at least annually.
• Do not subject the pump to dropping or hitting against a hard surface. If at any time the
pump is dropped or hit, the pump must be checked for volumetric accuracy prior to reuse. e
pump can only be brought back into service if the volumetric accuracy test passes per the user
manual. If the pump fails volumetric accuracy it must be returned to Moog Medical Devices
Group for evaluation.
