Recommended Practices
Connections of this pump to the same patient line with other infusion systems or accessories may alter the
performance of the pump. Consult the manufacturer’s instructions for use of the systems or accessories
before proceeding. Outside the U.S., read document VDE0753-5 when performing parallel infusions.
To ensure that pump performance is maintained, authorized service personnel should perform preventive
maintenance as described in Chapter 7, "Preventive Maintenance." Service personnel should refer
to the Ipump Pain Management System Service Manual for information on procedures.
Flow Rate Accuracy of the System
The Ipump Pain Management System, using the appropriate Baxter administration sets as identified in
Chapter 8, maintains flow rate accuracy with delivery errors not exceeding ±8% at 22°C to 23°C (71.6°F to
73.4°F) nominal and ±10% at the temperature extremes of 10°C (50°F) and 40°C (104°F).
Note that flow fluctuations can be caused by unusual conditions or combinations of conditions that may
involve, but are not limited to, the following: fluid density, positive and negative pressure, and the
environment. Flow fluctuations are most likely to occur when the conditions mentioned above are
exacerbated or when the device is operated in conditions outside of its normal limits. See “Environmental
Operating Limits,” 9-4.
