Failure to properly follow warnings, cautions, and instructions
could result in damage to the pump or death or serious injury.
Warnings
• Do not use the pump in the presence of flammable anesthetics or
explosive gasses.
• If the pump is used to deliver life-sustaining medication, an
additional pump must be available.
• Use of a syringe with the CADD
®
Administration Set may result
in UNDER-DELIVERY of medication. Syringe function can be
adversely affected by variations in plunger dimension and
lubricity, which can result in greater force required to move the
syringe plunger. A syringe plunger will lose lubrication as it ages
and, as a result, the amount of under-delivery will increase and
could, on occasion, be significant.
You must regularly compare the volume remaining in the syringe
to the pump’s displayed values such as Reservoir Volume or Given
to determine if under-delivery is occurring and, if necessary,
contact your clinician.
• Do not use rechargeable NiCd or nickel metal hydride (NiMH)
batteries. Do not use carbon zinc (“heavy duty”) batteries. They do
not provide sufficient power for the pump to operate properly.
• Always have new batteries available for replacement. If power is
lost, non-delivery of drug will occur.
• There is no pump alarm to alert you that the battery has not
been properly installed or has become dislodged. An improperly
installed or dislodged battery could result in loss of power and
non-delivery of drug.
• If the pump is dropped or hit, the battery door may become
broken or damaged. Do not use the pump if the battery door is
damaged because the battery will not be properly secured; this
may result in loss of power or non-delivery of drug.
