Using the Pump 32
2. Attaching an infusion or extension set and loading
a lled cartridge into the pump

Warning: To avoid accidentally infusing medication
or causing backow of blood from the access device
(or site), disconnect the tubing from the access
device (or site) before removing a used cartridge or
replacing an infusion set. Never use the pump’s Load
Cartridge or Fill Tubing features while tubing is con-
nected to the patient, or an unintended dose of medi-
cation can be delivered.
1. Turn the cartridge cap
counterclockwise (le)
approximately ¼ turn
and remove it from the
pump (see Figure 7).
If required, remove the
used cartridge (you
may get the Cartridge
Removed alert; press
OK). NOTE: turning the cartridge cap may also turn
the cartridge, so it may already be disconnected from
the pushrod when the cap is removed. If not, turn the
cartridge ¼ turn to the le to disconnect it from the
pushrod.
2. read the infusion set tub-
ing through the cartridge cap;
remove the protective cap from
the luer end of the infusion
set and insert the luer through
the hole in the cap and rmly
tighten it onto the tip of the
lled cartridge (see Figure 8).

Warning: If not properly tightened, medication
could leak from the cartridge and tubing
connections and disrupt delivery. Signs of leakage
can also mean opportunity for contamination leading
to infection.
3. Insert the new cartridge into the
cartridge chamber (see Figure 9).
Gently turn the cartridge clock-
wise (right) about ¼ turn to fas-
ten it onto the pushrod (you may
need to rst turn the cartridge
until it drops onto the pushrod).
