WARNING:
Failure to properly snap the cassette bottom disc into
the cassette body may result in incorrect flow rates or
free-flow conditions. Placing the cassette on the pump
will snap the cassette disc bottom in place, if it is not
done prior.
NOTE:
If the cassette bottom disc is snapped closed before the
priming process is complete, place the cassette onto the
pump (not attached to the patient) and use the BOLUS
button to complete the priming of the cassette.
To remove the air using the BOLUS button, complete Steps 6a and
6b, as follows:
Step #6a
Set the pump to deliver a 20 ml bolus (see Section 3.2.1).
Step #6b
Start the pump (see Section 4.1.1) and push the BOLUS button (see
Section 4.5) Once all the air has been removed from the cassette tubing
and fluid reservoir, stop the pump by placing it in pause (see Section
4.2).
If necessary to remove more than 20 ml of air from the solution
container and tubing, boluses can be repeatedly initiated by clearing
the history (see Section 5.2) between each bolus.
Once all the air has been removed from the cassette tubing and fluid
reservoir, clear the history and program the pump to the desired
settings.
Step #7
Bend or break away the wings of the protective cover. Place the
protective cover back onto the cassette (insert cassette shaft into
octagonal opening). Use the protective cover to rotate the cassette shaft
counter-clockwise so silver dot makes one full rotation.
NOTE:
The cassette shaft can also be rotated by hand.
NOTE:
Most “MA1” and “CASS” alarms can be resolved by
pressing and releasing the RUN/PAUSE button to
silence the alarm. To restart the infusion, press and
release the RUN/PAUSE button. If the alarm persists,
contact Summit Medical Products, Inc.
