Warnings
•
The user should ensure that the performance offered by the pump is fit for the intended use and that the
pump is not used in any way or for any purpose other than its intended use.
•
If the pump is dropped or hit, inspect it for damage. Do not use a pump that is damaged or not
functioning properly. Contact Smiths Medical Customer Service to return a pump for service.
•
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 check the battery compartment for fluid or debris before inserting the batteries, and do not allow
any fluid or debris to fall into the battery compartment. Fluid or debris in the battery compartment may
damage the battery contacts, and could result in loss of power and nondelivery of drug.
•
Residential/facility wiring must comply with all applicable electrical codes. Do not bypass power cord
connections. Do not remove a prong from the power cord.
•
Ensure that the ± 6% system delivery accuracy specification is taken into account when programming
the pump and/or filling the reservoir. Failure to do so may result in medication in the reservoir
becoming depleted sooner than expected.
