Getting Started
Pole Clamp Installation
A pole clamp is fitted to the rear of the Pump and will provide secure fixing to vertical I .V . poles of a diameter between 15 and 40 mm .
Recessed
area
1 . Pull the folded pole clamp towards you and unscrew the clamp to leave
enough room for the size of the pole .
2 . Place Pump around pole and tighten screw until the clamp is secured to the
pole .
w
Never mount the Pump such that the Infusion stand becomes
top heavy or unstable.
Ensure pole clamp is folded away and stored within recessed
area at the rear of the Pump before connecting to a Docking
Station/Workstation* or when not in use.
w
Prior to each use, check the pole clamp:
• does not show any signs of excessive wear,
• does not show any signs of excessively loose movement in the
extended, mountable position.
If these signs are observed, the Pumps should be taken out of
service for examination by Qualified Service Personnel.
Docking Station/Workstation* or Equipment Rail Installation
Release lever
Rectangular bar
Rotating cam
The rotating cam can be fitted to the rectangular bar on the
Docking Station/Workstation* or equipment rails measuring 10mm
by 25mm .
1 . Align the rotating cam on the rear of the pump with the
rectangular bar on the Docking Station/Workstation* or the
equipment rail .
2 . Push the pump firmly onto the rectangular bar or equipment
rail .
3 . Ensure that the pump 'clicks' securely into position onto the rail
or bar .
4 . Ensure that the Pump is positioned securely . Verify Pump is
secure by gently pulling the Pump away from the Docking
Station/Workstation* without using the release lever . When the
Pump is securely attached, it should not come off the Docking
Station/Workstation* .
5 . To release, push the release lever and pull the pump forwards .
Warning: Pump may fall off the Docking Station/Workstation* if not properly mounted which could result in user and/or
patient harm.
w
It is recommended that infusion bags be located on a hanger directly above the pump with which they are being
used. This minimises the potential for confusion of Infusion sets when multiple volumetric pumps are used.
