Do not mount the Pump with the AC power inlet or the syringe pointing upwards. This could affect the electrical safety
in the event of a fluid spill or lead to the infusion of air which may be in the syringe.

fixing to vertical I .V . poles of a diameter between 15 and 40 mm .

becomes top heavy or unstable.

If these signs are observed, the Pumps should be taken out of service for examination by Qualified Service Personnel.
