Regarding Pump Operation
6
If the pump does not perform as stated in this manual, remove the pump from service
IMMEDIATELY.
6
ALWAYS connect to a grounded AC mains power source when using AC mains power.
If the quality of the grounding source is in doubt, operate the pump only with
batteries.
6
USE ONLY the AC mains adaptors specifically labeled for use with the Abbott GemStar
Pump.
6
Installing disposable batteries is recommended, regardless of the power source used,
to provide continuing operation if the external power source fails. ALWAYS replace
BOTH batteries with new batteries when a change is required.
6
The use of rechargeable batteries in the battery compartment is NOT recommended.
6
ALWAYS avoid sources of high-intensity electromagnetic radiation (e.g., radio
transmitters, MRI scanners, microwave ovens, X-ray machines, and CAT scanners).
6
Use of radio-frequency emitting devices, such as cellular telephones, 2-way radios,
and Electrical Surgical Devices (ESU), in close proximity to this device may affect its
operation.
6
Possible explosion hazard exists if the pump is used in the presence of flammable
anesthetics. NEVER use the pump in the presence of flammable or explosive vapors.
6
Non-hazardous, low-level electrical potentials are commonly observed when fluids are
administered using infusion devices. These potentials are well within accepted safety
standards, but may create artifacts on voltage-sensing equipment, such as ECG, EMG,
and EEG machines. These artifacts vary at a rate that is associated with the infusion
rate. If the monitoring machine is not operating correctly or has loose or defective
connections to its sensing electrodes, these artifacts may be accentuated so as to
simulate actual physiological signals. To determine if the abnormality in the
monitoring equipment is caused by the infusion device instead of some other source
in the environment, set the infusion device so that it is temporarily not delivering
fluid. Disappearance of the abnormality indicates that it was probably caused by
electronic noise generated by the infusion device. Proper setup and maintenance of
the monitoring equipment should eliminate the artifact. Refer to the appropriate
monitoring system documentation for setup and maintenance instructions.
Regarding Handling and Maintenance
6
Product damage may occur if proper care is not exercised during unpacking,
installation, and use. Should the pump inadvertently be subjected to mishandling,
check connections and programmed data to confirm no damage has occurred. Refer to
the “Operation Test” section for further information.
6
ALWAYS fully close the battery door when using disposable batteries.
6
ALWAYS avoid dropping or hitting the pump. If the pump is dropped or hit, ALWAYS
verify programmed data.
6
NEVER use sharp objects (e.g., fingernails, pens, pencils, or other probes) to program
or clean the pump.
6
Use care not to damage the silicone seals around the sensor bodies in the cassette
pocket.
