SIGMA Manual Number 41018
Revision AR
CAUTION: Accuracy
Refer to trumpet curves for flow rate accuracy as a function of short infusion
durations.
The upstream occlusion detector may not detect partially occluded tubing. Always
check to ensure the IV set’s clamp is not closed above the Spectrum pump.
Small bore catheters or needles may cause excessive backpressure at elevated flow
rates. Size the catheters according to expected flow rate and fluid viscosity.
CAUTION: Follow Physicians Orders
Federal (USA) law restricts this device to sale or use by, on the order of, or under
the supervision of, a physician or other licensed healthcare practitioner.
CAUTION: Single Fault Conditions
A bolus of approximately 0.5 mL may be generated as a result of a single fault
