! WARNING !
Patients receiving narcotic analgesic drugs with any patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) pump
should be instructed in the proper use of the device. Instructions should include that only the
patient or a licensed healthcare practitioner may operate the PCA button, unless the prescribing
physician authorizes a lay caregiver to do so. Without physician authorization, operation of the
device by all other persons is prohibited.
! WARNING !
When using this pump, periodic patient monitoring must be performed to ensure that the infusion
is proceeding as expected. The pump is capable of developing positive fluid pressures to
overcome widely varying resistances to flow such as resistance imposed by small-gauge
catheters, filters, or intra-arterial infusion. The pump is designed to stop fluid flow when an alarm
occurs, but it is neither designed nor intended to detect infiltrations and will not alarm under
infiltration conditions.
! WARNING !
This pump should be used only with the Baxter accessories specified for it. There are risks
associated with using anything other than the recommended accessories with this pump.
Accessories designated for use with this pump are listed in “Accessories, Disposables, and
Recommended Sets,” 8-1.
! WARNING !
The pump has not been tested for use in the vicinity of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
equipment or ESU equipment. The pump may malfunction and cease to operate.
! WARNING !
To avoid personal injury, ensure that the IV pole is stable and secure. Ensure that the pole can
support the pump, along with any other devices, without tipping or falling. The pole diameter
should be between 1.3 and 3.2 cm (0.5 and 1.25 inches).
