Regarding Drugs Used, Pump Sets, and Containers
6
USE ONLY Abbott GemStar Pump Sets with the Abbott GemStar Pump. Use of
unauthorized sets may result in injury to the patient or damage to the pump.
6
NEVER use drugs that are incompatible with silicone rubber or PVC plastic.
6
To reduce the loss of potency for drugs known to be absorbed by PVC plastic and
silicone, begin infusion as soon as practical after priming the pump set. Use of high
flow rates during infusion will minimize drug absorption.
6
DO NOT use medications which are unstable under infusion conditions.
6
ALWAYS use connections with Luer Lock™ fittings.
6
Use aseptic technique with all fluid-path connections. Remove the protective
coverings as assembly progresses.
6
ALWAYS close the slide clamps before removing the cassette from the pump.
6
Ensure the cassette is properly installed before using the pump.
6
Arrange tubing, cords, and cables to minimize the risk of patient strangulation or
entanglement.
6
When using the pump for secondary delivery (piggybacking), ensure the fluids being
administered are chemically and physically compatible.
6
NEVER use vented fluid containers (e.g., glass or rigid plastic) unless suspended from a
pole.
6
Stop infusion if signs or symptoms of infiltration occur.
6
In vitro
studies have shown that infusing older units of additive solution packed red
blood cells or frozen deglycerolized red blood cells at rates greater than 200 mL/hr
may produce some level of hemolysis that may be considered clinically unacceptable.
6
Failure to use the anti-siphon valve may result in unrestricted flow.
6
When infusing short-half-life drugs (i.e. those dosed with units of mcg/kg/min) at very
low rates (0.8 mL/hr or less) the rate may be too slow for that drug. Consider using a
lower drug concentration with these drugs so a pump rate above 0.8 mL/hr can be
used.
6
If the cassette is removed from the pump, ALWAYS disconnect the pump set from the
patient and purge the line before restarting therapy.
Regarding Air-In-Line and Infusion
6
To reduce the risk of infusing air, use an air-eliminating filter when the air sensitivity
is set to OFF.
6
ALWAYS remove all air from the cassette, tubing, and injection site prior to
connecting to the patient. ALWAYS disconnect the pump set from the patient prior to
priming or purging.
6
ALWAYS set the Air Sensitivity to either ON or 2mL when using vented drip chambers.
