Medfusion® Model 3500 pump V6 Operator’s Manual
Cautions
• Federal (USA) law restricts this device to sale by or
on the order of a physician.
• ALWAYS verify that the software version of the
pump (displayed on screen during power-up)
and Operator’s Manual are the same. Refer to this
manual’s front page.
•
NEVER
use sharp objects to depress keypad keys
on the pump. This may damage the pump by
rendering keypad keys inoperable.
• This pump is designed to be used in a horizontal
position. If the pump is operated in any other
position (including vertical), there is an increased
potential for fluid leaking into the pump. If fluid
leakage into a pump is suspected, remove it from
use until a trained biomedical technician can test it.
• Always verify the stability of the object to which the
pump is mounted (for instance, an IV pole) before
using the poleclamp. Failure to verify the stability
could cause the object to tip, with the possibility of
causing damage to the pump and other equipment
If the poleclamp is not adequately tightened, it
could cause the pump to fall.
•
DO NOT USE
cleaning solutions containing:
acetone , ammonia , ammonium chloride (including
Hyamine 1622), aromatic solvents (such as paint
thinner, toluene, methylbenzene), chlorinated
solvents
(such as methyl ethyl ketone (MEK),
trichloroethane), ether (such as ethylene glycol
monobutyl ether, diethylene glycol butyl ether) or
oxidizing acids (such as phosphoric acid, sulfuric
acid or accelerated hydrogen peroxide).
Use of the solutions or solvents listed as DO
NOT USE could damage plastic parts and cause
premature failure or device malfunction.
•
Use only the recommended cleaning/disinfecting
agents and method.
Use of cleaning/disinfecting
agents and method other than those listed may
cause damage to the pump and will void the
warranty.
• The pump is “spray resistant” from the top and
sides but not “water proof”. NEVER spray cleaning
or other fluids directly into openings on the bottom
of the pump as pump damage may occur.
• The pump is not certified “waterproof”. Never
immerse the pump in water or other fluids as this
can render the pump inoperable.
• Avoid wiping or spraying the barrel clamp rod
and syringe plunger driver rod (see page 8) as
they are coated with a light layer of grease (refer
pump to service personnel if these parts require
cleaning).
•
NEVER
use light oil sprays (e.g., WD40
®
) to clean
or lubricate pump. These oils contain chemicals
that can damage the plastic of the pump.
• NEVER sterilize the pump in a steam autoclave or
gas sterilizer. Using autoclave or gas sterilization
can seriously damage the pump and will void the
warranty.
