3 Installation and removal
Installation and removal must only be done when the patient is not connected.
3.1 Installation
3.1.1 Global installation
Ensure that the appropriate positions between patient, pump, giving set and container are
maintained.
WARNING
■
Do not vary the pump height while a patient is connected to it. This may
lead to false alarms and will alter flow rate accuracy.
■
Check the stability of the whole system. If the container is positioned
lower than 0.5 m beneath the pump, this can lead to flow rate deviation.
■
Give particular attention to the risk of strangulation with cables and sets,
and with the small parts that could be swallowed or inhaled.
