Introduction
1.3 Precautions for use
The
!
symbol visible on the device, indicates that the relevant Instructions For Use should
be read thoroughly.
Volumat Agilia has been tested in accordance with the standards applicable to
electromagnetic compatibility of the medical devices. Its immunity makes helps to ensure
correct operation. The limitation of the radiation emitted avoids undesirable interference with
other equipment such as EEG, ECG, etc. If a
Volumat Agilia is placed near devices such as
surgical equipment HF, X-rays, NMR, mobile phones or Wifi points, then minimal distances
between equipment must be respected.
The device must not be used in the presence of inflammable anaesthetic agents due to a risk
of explosion. It should always be used away from all risk areas.
The device could be disturbed by pressure or pressure variations, mechanical shocks, heat
ignition sources, etc. Please contact our Technical Service, if you wish to use devices in
specific conditions. The pump must be used in a horizontal and stable position to work
correctly.
The physiological effects of medicine may be influenced by the characteristics of the device
and the associated tubing (the constitution material is normally listed on the tubing
packaging). Check that the prescriptions are compatible with the characteristics of the
trumpet curves and with the occlusion alarm setting times in relation to the programmed flow
rate.
The device uses a Lithium Ion rechargeable battery. Incorrect handling of a Lithium Ion
battery by a non qualified personnel may cause leakage, heat, smoke, explosion or fire, which
could result in deterioration of performance or failure. This may also damage the protection
device installed in the battery pack, resulting in damage to the equipment or injury to the user.
