Cleaning the Pump and Accessories
Cleaning Solutions
The following solutions may be used to clean the
pump and accessories, unless otherwise specified:
NOTE: Refer to the instructions for use for each
accessory before proceeding with cleaning.
• Soapsolution
• Benzalkoniumchlorideconcentrate(0.13%)
• Glutaralconcentrate,USP(2%)
• 10%solutionofhouseholdbleach(onepart
household bleach to nine parts water)
• Alcohol,USP(93%)
• Isopropylalcohol,USP(99%)
• Chlorhexidinegluconate(4%)
• PDISuperSani-Cloth

• QuikFillCompac(A-456-N)byAirkem
CAUTION:
• Do not immerse the pump in cleaning fluid
or water. Do not allow solution to soak in
to the pump, accumulate on the keypad, or
enter the battery compartment, USB port,
remote dose cord jack, or power jack areas.
Moisture buildup inside the pump may
damage the pump.
• Do not clean the pump with acetone, other
plasticsolvents,orabrasivecleaners,as
damage to the pump may occur.
1. Dampen a soft, lint-free cloth with cleaning
solution. Apply the solution to the exterior
surface of the pump or accessory (per
manufacturer’s instructions). Do not allow the
solution to soak into the pump or accessory.
NOTE: Ensure that debris is not allowed to build
up on the pressure plate surface of the pumping
mechanism (see the Technical Manual for a
diagram of the pumping mechanism). Inspect
the air detector sensor slot and remove any
debris.
2. Allow the pump to dry completely before use.
Exposure to Radiation or Magnetic
Resonance Imaging (MRI)
CAUTION:
• ThepumpSHOULDNOTBEDIRECTLY
IRRADIATEDbytherapeuticlevelsof
ionizing radiation because of the risk of
permanent damage to the pump’s electronic
circuitry.Thebestproceduretofollowisto
removethepumpfromthepatientduring
therapeutic radiation sessions or diagnostic
levelsofradiographicandfluoroscopic
radiation. If the pump must remain in the
vicinityduringadiagnosticortherapy
session, it should be shielded, and its ability
to function properly should be confirmed
following treatment.
• Do not expose the pump directly to
ultrasound, as permanent damage to the
pump’s electronic circuitry may occur.
• Magnetic fields produced by magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) equipment may
adverselyaffecttheoperationofthepump.
Removethepumpfromthepatientduring
MRI procedures and keep it at a safe distance
from magnetic energy.
• Use of this pump on patients monitored by
electronic equipment may cause artifactual
interference. As with all electronic
equipment, electrical artifacts which affect
the performance of other equipment, such as
ECGmonitors,canoccur.Theusershould
check the correct function of the equipment
prior to use.
• Do not use the pump in hyperbaric
chambers as they will affect how the pump
works and may also cause damage to the
pump.
