Safety instructions
Q
Irrespective of the soft limit, ensure
that the values set for the patients are
the medically correct values.
Q
When using the device near equipment
that can cause higher interference
emissions (e.g. electrosurgical devices,
magnetic resonance imaging units,
mobile telephones) keep the device
the recommended safe distance away
from such equipment.
4.1.7
Alarms and staff call
Q
The volume of the device’s acoustic
alarms can be adjusted for the envi-
ronmental conditions. This ensures
that the alarms are clearly audible.
Q
Always monitor the pump alarms. The
use of the accessory cable or staff call
does not adequately replace monitor-
ing the alarms.
Q
Check the staff call before each use of
the device.
4.1.8
Accessories and consumables
Q
It is recommended that disposable
items are changed after 96 hours
(see hygiene rules).
Q
Only use pressure-tested disposable
items (min. 2 bar/1500 mmHg).
Q
Only use the device with accessories
and consumables that have been
approved for use with the device.
Q
Ensure adequate protection against
free-flow before changing disposable
items.
Q
Hydrophobic filters can further reduce
the infusion of microbubbles.
4.1.6
Operation
Q
Stand in front of the device to operate
it. This ensures that you are able to
reach all control elements and that the
display is clearly visible.
Q
Establish a connection to the patient
only after the infusion line has been
properly inserted and primed. Discon-
nect it from the patient when chang-
ing infusion line in order to prevent
unintended dose administration.
Q
Only use approved infusion lines/
catheters for the intended medical use.
Q
Position the infusion line to the
patient so that it does not have any
kinks.
Q
Ensure that installation in rooms
used for medical purposes is done in
accordance with the regulations (e.g.,
VDE 0100, VDE 0107 and/or IEC speci-
fications). Observe all country-specific
regulations and national deviations.
Q
Do not operate the device near inflam-
mable anaesthetics.
Q
Always check the plausibility of the
values shown on the display.
Q
Ensure that there is additional patient
supervision (e.g. monitoring) if life sus-
taining drugs are administered.
Q
When administering highly-effective
drugs, have a second device ready for
the drug.
Q
Avoid mechanical effects on the
device. If the device is moved while in
operation, the set delivery rate may be
exceeded/not be reached.
