• While servicing the Medfusion ™ 3000 Series infu -
sion pump you should wear safety glasses as it
contains springs and other small parts which may
be a hazard.
Cautions
•
Avoid Organic Solvents:
Never use organic sol -
vents (e.g., acetone), quarternary ammonia com -
pounds, strong acids or strong bases to clean any
portion of the pump.
• Not Waterproof: The Medfusion™ 3000 Series
is “spray resistant” but not “water proof”. Never
spray cleaning or other fluids directly into open-
ings on the bottom of the pump. Never immerse
the pump in water or other fluids.
•
Avoid Spray Oils:
Never use light spray oils (e.g.,
WD40™) to clean or lubricate pump. These chemi -
cals can damage the plastic of the pump.
•
Never Autoclave or Gas Sterilize:
Never sterilize
the pump in a steam autoclave or gas. Using an
autoclave or gas sterilization can seriously damage
the Medfusion™ 3000 Series pump and void the
warranty.
• Disconnect AC Mains & External DC Power:
Always disconnect the pump from AC Mains and
from External DC power before disassembling the
pump for maintenance.
• Handle Batteries with Care: Always handle the
pump’s battery pack with care.
•
Don’t Over-tighten Screws:
Never over-tighten
any screws in the pump. Unless otherwise speci -
fied, you should torque all screws to 60 in- oz
(0.42 Nm).
•
Battery Disposal:
Always dispose of exhausted
NiMH batteries in compliance with all pertinent
local, state, national, and international regulations.
If unsure of correct methods for compliance, you
may return battery packs to Smiths Medical for
recycling.
•
Keypad is NOT Flexible:
Whenever handling the
keypad, always ensure it remains flat. Bending the
keypad can damage keys or break LED contacts.
