personal injury or property damage if the precaution given is not complied with.
Use
Warnings
• After the power is turned on, a syringe that corresponds to the syringe brand name displayed on the LCD should be used.
[The flow rate accuracy and alarm function cannot be guaranteed if a wrong syringe is used.]
• Since TCI mode operation is based on plasma or effect-site concentration prediction, the user must observe the patient’s
condition, assuming there is always the possibility that actual concentration differs from the predicted values. If any
abnormality is found in the patient’s condition, immediately take appropriate measures such as manual dose or other
options for anesthesia. [Improper TCI infusion with predicted concentration mistaken as actual concentration may result in
critical harm to the patient.]
• Always check the infusion status (decreasing volume of drug solution), connecting site and puncture site at the start of the
infusion. In addition, conduct the same check during infusion on a regular basis, including patient rounds.
• When setting a syringe, ensure that the syringe plunger has been firmly set
onto the slider hook and that the syringe has been correctly set into the sections
including checking that the flange of the syringe has been inserted into the flange
holder. The elevation difference between this product and the patient should be
kept to a minimum. [Drug solution may not be delivered correctly due to rapid
infusion caused by displacement of the syringe plunger from the slider hook,
incorrect detection of the syringe size, etc.]
• When an occlusion occurs due to tube bend in the infusion line, blocked filter, blood clot inside the needle or other
reasons, close the infusion line on the downstream side, and eliminate the cause of the occlusion before starting. [1. The
internal pressure of infusion line from the pump to the occluded section in the downstream is high. Simply removing the
cause of occlusion will result in “bolus infusion (temporarily excessive infusion of drug solution)” to the patient. 2. The pump
will not operate until occlusion is removed.]
• Do not apply any pressure to the syringe plunger or slider. [The syringe plunger may be pushed, causing bolus infusion to
the patient.]
• When removing the syringe installed in this product, the three way stopcock (if used) of the infusion line should be closed
before removing it. [It may result in excessive infusion (siphoning free flow by gravity) of drug solution.]
• When using at a low flow rate or under a low temperature, monitor the solution delivery carefully to check for any
occurrence of occlusion. [The solution delivery may be interrupted for a period due to: 1. The flow rate setting decreases,
the time from occlusion occurrence to detection becomes longer. 2. The temperature decreases, it interferes with the
movement of the syringe (the sliding resistance of the plunger increases), frequently causing the Occlusion alarm to be
issued.]
• When using this product in environments with high background noise levels, the alarm sound volume of this product should
be adjusted so that alarms can be heard. [Background sound pressure levels higher than the alarm sound volume may
drown out an alarm, resulting in health hazard to the patient.]
• When using this product with one or more other products, or with a similar device, make sure of the optimum alarm
settings for all those devices. [Unintended alarm settings may result in health hazard to the patient.]
