11. This device is designed to minimize the eects of uncontrolled electromagnetic interference and other types of interference from external sources. Avoid use of other
equipment that may cause erratic operation or degradation in the performance of this device.
12. WARNING: The serial I/O port (see Figure 1A) is intended only to be used with a specically certied accessory to retrieve/extract certain information from the pump. This
accessory is specically certied as complying with the safety requirements of accessories used with the pump, whereas the safety certication of the accessory has been
performed in accordance with IEC 60601-1 and as appropriate the IEC/EN 60601-1 harmonized standard.
Any accessory equipment that can be connected to the DB9 Serial I/O port, and which does not comply with the equivalent safety requirements of this equipment, may lead
to a reduced level of safety of the pump. While use of the pump’s DB9 port is not recommended for customers, the following should be considered in the event that the
customer decides to connect to this port:
The accessory is specically certied as complying with the safety requirements for accessories used with the pump, whereas the safety certication of the accessory has been
performed in accordance to the appropriate IEC 60601-1 and/or IEC 60601-1-1 harmonized standard.
13. CAUTION: This enteral feeding pump should only be used for patients who can tolerate the ow rates and accuracy levels delivered by the pump. Premature infants may
require higher accuracy rates than specied for this enteral feeding pump. For optimal accuracy, the bottom of the formula container should be 18” above the pump, do not
reuse feeding sets and avoid over stretching the silicone tube that wraps around the pump’s rotor.
14. Do not attempt to rotate the valve stem inside the feeding set valve assembly. Rotation of the valve stem can only be done by the pump while the valve assembly is properly
loaded into the pump.
15. Should feeding sets require rinsing, it is recommended that the feeding sets be rinsed while they are loaded in the pump. Should the removal of the feeding set valve
assembly be desired, power the pump o and wait ve seconds before removing. Upon re-insertion of the feeding set valve assembly, make sure the valve assembly is
properly loaded into the pump.
