16. WARNING: Use only the syringes and administration sets listed in the
Specification (Chapter 1).
Failure to do so may result in an inaccurate delivery. Smiths Medical does not guarantee performance of the
pump if syringes other than those listed are used. Incorrect function or performance of the pump can cause
complications resulting in patient injury or death.
17. WARNING: The volume of fluid contained in the connecting tubing is a residual amount and will not be infused.
Hence this extra volume of fluid must be allowed for when initially filling the syringe and purging the system.
Under-delivery of medication can cause complications resulting in patient injury or death.
18. WARNING: To avoid patient embolism, ensure that the patient tubing is purged of all air bubbles before
administering any medication. The pump provides a purge facility to assist with this process. The presence of
air within the medication can result in complications leading to patient injury or death.
19. WARNING: To avoid syphoning of the syringe contents (free flow), ensure that the syringe is correctly loaded
into the pump, that the syringe plunger is properly engaged by the pump’s actuator and that the pump is placed
not more than 80cm above the infusion site. Syphoning can result in over-infusion leading to patient injury or
death.
20. WARNING: To avoid over-infusion, do not purge the infusion line when the administration set is connected to the
patient. Over-infusion of medication can result in patient injury or death.
21. WARNING: To avoid the pump becoming detached from an IV pole always make sure that the pump is securely
fixed to the pole. Always check the security and stability of the assembly with the pump mounted.
22. WARNING: Following a significant liquid spill onto the pump, it should be wiped dry and inspected by service
personnel before being returned to service. Failure to do so may result in compromised functioning of the pump,
leading to patient or user injury or death.
23. WARNING: When using a syringe smaller than 50/60 ml the occlusion pressure will increase as the diameter of
the syringe decreases, i.e. the smaller the syringe the higher the pressure.
24. WARNING: For high risk or critical infusions, the use of the dedicated 3200 Extension set incorporating the
pressure sensing disc is recommended in order that occlusion pressure can be appropriately set and
monitored during an infusion.
25. WARNING: The patient history is lost when the clock is reset.
26. WARNING: Only adequately qualified personnel should maintain and repair the pump.
27. WARNING: The pump must be disconnected from the AC power supply before the case is opened.
28. WARNING: The Configuration and Diagnostic mode must only be used by personnel who are adequately qualified and
have previous training in the use of the pump.
29. WARNING: The safety and reliability of the pump may be compromised by the use of parts other than those specified
in this Manual.
30. WARNING: When a new Syringe Size Sensor Flag has been fitted to the pump (see Appendix), then the pump must be
tested using the new syringe size sensor gauges available from Smiths Medical (part number 0131-0202). Page 3 of
the Appendix gives details of the Final Testing procedures.
31. WARNING: The pump must be set to display the brand and the size of syringe that is going to be used. Using a
different brand or size of syringe to that being displayed could lead to the incorrect amount of drug being administered,
that could result in injury or death.
32. WARNING: The internal pump batteries must be disposed of in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.
Lead acid batteries must NOT be placed in the normal waste stream.
