PRIMING PCA DEVICE
Use Aseptic Technique
1. Depress
PCA
button until it latches in the down position (Figure A). Button will click and
stay locked down.
NOTE:
For models including Select-A-Flow,
there are two channels to prime. The
PCA
is
primed
fi
rst followed by the Select-A-Flow. To begin priming
PCA
channel, set Select-A-
Flow dial to
Ø
, off position. Be sure dial “clicks” into place.
2. Lay
PCA
device on
fl
at surface with red tab label side up (Figure B).
3. Open clamp and remove tubing cap to begin priming. Do not discard tubing cap.
NOTE:
For models including Select-A-Flow
,
when all air is removed from the
PCA
and
fl
uid is observed at the luer lock (approximately 4 minutes), the
PCA
channel is primed.
To begin priming the Select-A-Flow, set dial to highest
fl
ow rate setting.
4. When all air has been removed from the entire tubing and
fl
uid is observed at end of
luer lock, replace tubing cap until ready for use.
NOTE:
For models including Select-A-Flow
,
set the Select-A-Flow dial back to Ø, off position
until ready for use.
5. Remove the red holding tab by pulling straight out (Figure C). It is important to remove
red tab completely and ensure it does not break (Figure D inset). The
PCA
button will
return to its upper most position allowing the bolus device to
fi
ll.
WARNING
: Do not pull the red tab upwards as breakage could occcur (Figure D). Do
not use if red tab breaks inside unit as maximum
fl
ow rate (basal + bolus) can occur.
6. The pump is now ready to use, however a complete bolus dose won’t be available until
the labeled re
fi
ll time has elapsed. The orange bolus re
fi
ll indicator will be at the top level
(Figure E).
