Important Information

You should provide specic training on delivering a dose.
If the pump is dropped or hit against something hard,
always inspect it carefully to make sure it is still working
properly. Make sure the display is working correctly, and
the cartridge, cartridge cap, battery cap and infusion set are
connected correctly. If there is damage to the pump’s outer
shell (cracks, chips), the pump may no longer be watertight.
Make sure that the battery cap is fully tightened to avoid
an interruption in battery power which can cause the
pump to power down and stop the delivery of drug
therapy. A prolonged interruption in the delivery of drug
therapy can result in serious patient injury or death.
If the display has missing or incomplete characters, or
if the pump does not seem to be working correctly, stop
using the pump immediately. Contact Smiths Medical
MD, Inc. for information on servicing the pump.
Cautions
Avoid strong electromagnetic elds, like those present with
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and direct x-ray, as
they can aect how the pump works. If you cannot avoid
them, the pump and pouch must be taken o.
Do not expose the pump directly to ultrasound.
Do not use the pump in a hyperbaric chamber as this
may aect how the pump works and may also cause dam-
age to the pump.
Do not use cell phones within six (6) inches (15 cm) of
the pump. Interference with the pump electronics by cell
phones can occur. If a cell phone interferes with the pump,
the pump will generate a System Fault alarm.
To avoid damage when storing the pump, rst remove the
battery and cartridge. Place the pump in the original car-
ton and keep it away from cold, heat, and dampness. Aer
30 days, any pump programming will be lost and you will
need to reprogram it.
e pump may experience problems if operated in condi-
tions where temperatures are lower than 35.6°F (2°C) or
higher than 104°F (40°C), when relative humidity (non-
condensing) exceeds 90%, and when atmospheric pressure
is lower than 10.2 psi (70 kPa) (10,000 feet above sea level)
or higher than 15.4 psi (106 kPa). If you experience prob-
lems, remove the pump from use.
e pump may be damaged if stored in environments
where temperatures are lower than –4°F (–20°C) or higher
than 140°F (60°C), when relative humidity (non-condens-
ing) exceeds 90%, and when atmospheric pressure is lower
than 10.2 psi (70 kPa) (10,000 feet above sea level) or
higher than 15.4 psi (106 kPa).
Do not use NiCd, nickel metal hydride, carbon zinc (heavy
duty), lithium or any rechargeable batteries. ey will not
power the pump properly, and the battery life indicator on
the home screen may not show the correct amount.
