Warnings and Precautions
(Continued)
6) The accessories include a drop sensor. The drop sensor is an accessory used
to detect whether there is fluid left in the reservoir. Reminder: if the detector
is not used, please unplug the detector from the pump; otherwise the comple-
tion and occlusion alarms will be triggered simultaneously.
7) If you choose to use the drop sensor, install with care. The detector is vertical
to the reservoir bottle. Solution surface has to be below the mid-line of the
dripping chamber. If “complete” and “occlusion” alarms are set off right after
the pump starts running, check the connection sockets at the back of the
pump to see whether the detector has been installed properly or not.
8) When relocating the pump, please avoid an excessive swing of fluid bag
(and drip detector).
9) The pump can be used on a horizontal platform or on the iv stand with the iv
pole clamp. Before securing the pump on the iv pole, please make sure that
the iv stand is solid vertically and won’t fall with the weight of the pump.
10) There may be a low battery alarm when the pump is powered on with bat-
tery power for the first time after a long period of time. When the low
battery alarm sets off, the pump has to be connected to the electrical outlet
to continue to operate. The pump can operate with ac power and charge
the batteries at the same time. After a continuous charge of 8 hours, the
battery can support running at a rate of 25 ml/h up to 3 hours.
11) Periodically the pump and drop sensor need to be cleaned. Use a damp (not
wet) cloth or sponge; gently wipe off the shell and control panel of pump. Do
not immerse pump or power cable into water or other cleaning solutions.
12) To ensure the battery works well within its life-span, operate with battery
power occasionally to examine whether the battery works properly. If the
battery is not used for a period of time, charge the battery at least every
three months.
13) Disconnect the pump with ac power while changing the fuse.
14) This infusion pump is not intended to replace trained personnel in the supervi-
sion of infusions.
15) Only authorized service personnel should repair this pump. Manufacturer
assumes no responsibility for incidents that occur if the pump is not repaired
according to manufacturer-authorized procedures.
16) Carefully read and follow the infusion set instructions.
17) Only approved accessories should be used with this pump
18) When infusing through a central line catheter, luer lock connectors should
be used.
