Pump and Syringe Modules Section
Before operating instrument, verify that administration set is
free from kinks and installed correctly in instrument.
CAUTION
• Epidural administration of drugs other than those
indicated for epidural use could result in serious injury to
the patient.
• It is strongly recommended that the source container,
administration set, and Pump Module used for epidural
drug delivery be clearly differentiated from those used
for other types of administration.
• It is strongly recommended that the syringe,
administration set and Syringe Module used for
epidural drug delivery be clearly differentiated from
those used for other types of administration.
WARNINGS
Epidural Administration
• When the pressure sensing disc is not being used
and an occlusion occurs, there is a risk of infusing
pressurized buildup of infusates upon correction of the
occlusion. To avoid an inadvertent bolus, relieve the
pressure before restarting the infusion.
• Ensure the displayed syringe manufacturer and
syringe size correctly identify the installed syringe.
Mismatches may cause an under-infusion or over-
infusion to the patient that could result in serious injury
and/or death. For a list of compatible syringes,
reference "Compatible Syringes".
• Installing a pressure sensing disc after an infusion
has started can result in a bolus to the patient.
