Pole Clamp Installation
Mount the Pump on the pole or Workstation as close to patient heart level as possible.
Prior to each use, check the pole clamp:
• does not show any signs of excessive wear,
• does not show any signs of excessively loose movement in the extended, mountable position.
If these signs are observed, the Pump should be taken out of service for examination by Qualified
Service Personnel.
The pole clamp is fitted to the rear of the Pump and will provide
secure fixing to vertical IV poles of a diameter between 15 and
40mm .
1 . Pull the folded pole clamp towards you and unscrew the
clamp to leave enough room for the size of the pole .
2 . Place Pump around pole and tighten screw until the clamp is
secured to the pole .

Recessed area
Never mount the Pump such that the IV infusion stand becomes top heavy or unstable.
Ensure the pole clamp is folded away and stored within the recessed area at the rear of the Pump before
connecting to a Workstation or when not in use.
