The Vista basic is a volumetric infusion
pump intended to provide accurate and

enteral fluids.
Qualified medical staff should decide
how the device should be used based
on its features and specifications.
For more details, please read the
Instructions for Use.
Rx only.

WARNINGS & CAUTIONS
Vista™basic Instructions for Use 3/25
950787 Rev 6/02
The following should be observed to avoid patient/user injury. This Instructions
for Use manual contains detailed instructions and warnings on the use of the
Vista™basic Infusion Pump. Please read it completely prior to using this device.
This manual is intended to reinforce the teaching given to the user by a trained
health care professional or an authorized B. Braun representative.
WARNINGS
♦B. Braun will assume no
responsibility for incidents which
may occur if the product is not used
in accordance with product labeling.
♦Make sure the pump is stable, either
fastened securely to the IV pole or
resting on a flat surface.
♦Prior to use, always check the
audible and visual alarms (and staff
call, where applicable).
♦Connection of pump tubing to the
patient should only be made after
the tubing is loaded and the unit is
turned on. Disconnect tubing from
patient when changing solution
containers to avoid the danger of
incorrect dosage.
♦Ensure there are no kinks in the
tubing.
♦Always read and follow the
instructions that accompany the
source container and IV
administration sets you are using.
Carefully follow the instructions for
loading, removing, and reloading the
set, as well as the recommended set
change intervals.
♦Change pumping section on tubing
every 24 hours. Do not use tubing
for more than 72 hours or per
current facility protocol.
♦Always check pump data prior to
starting infusion.
♦Do not operate this device in
environments where there is an
explosion hazard! A possible
explosion hazard exists if the pump
is used in the presence of
flammable anesthetics.
♦The EMC-limits (Electro-magnetic
compatibility) according to IEC/EN
60601-1-2 and IEC/EN 60601-2-24
are maintained. If the equipment is
operated near other equipment
which may cause high levels of
interference (e.g. HF surgical
equipment, nuclear spin tomography
units, mobile telephones, etc.)
maintain the recommended
protective distances for these
devices. Under certain conditions,
malfunctions may occur which lead
to a device alarm with permanent
alarm tone. Interference may occur
e.g. at electro-magnetic fields > 10
[V/m] resp. electro-magnetic
discharges > [8 kV].
♦Monitoring of the patient and
infusion status is necessary to
ensure the infusion is being
delivered as anticipated. The Vista
basic has been designed to stop
fluid flow to the patient under certain
alarm conditions. Also, prior to
starting an infusion, verify that no
drops are falling in the drip chamber
and the programmed information is
correct.

WARNINGS & CAUTIONS
Vista™basic Instructions for Use 4/25
950787 Rev 6/02
♦After starting an infusion, make sure
drops are falling in the drip chamber.
If no drops are falling, make sure the
roller clamp is open. If the roller
clamp is open and still no drops are
falling, replace and dispose of the
set.
♦The air detector cannot recognize
the introduction of air at 3-way
stopcocks, infusion ports, and other
lines/tubes below the pump.
♦See section entitled “Drop Sensor”
for additional information on using
the device without a drop sensor.
♦To avoid mechanical or electronic
damage, do not steam autoclave or
immerse the pump in any fluids or
cleaning solutions. Always
disconnect electrical power cord
from outlet before cleaning to
prevent electrical shock.
CAUTIONS
♦Rx only.
♦Do not attempt to infuse two fluids
simultaneously using the Vista™
basic.
♦Variations in pressure, e.g. caused
by change in level of fluid container,
may affect the accuracy of the
device.
♦If several pieces of infusion
equipment are connected together,
it is possible there may be mutual
influence. Possible incompatibilities
can be found in the instructions for
use for the drug or for the other
appliances.
♦Use only equipment, accessories,
parts, and disposables that are
intended for use with the Vista
basic.
♦Do not clean, disinfect, or sterilize
any part of the device by autoclaving
or with ethylene oxide gas. Doing
so may damage the device and void
the warranty. Only external parts of
the pump should be disinfected.
See “Maintenance, Storage, &
Service” for suggested cleaning
solutions.
♦Technical specifications are not
guaranteed with any other tubing
than that approved for use with the
Vista basic.
♦Any analog and digital components
connected must demonstrate that
they meet EN specifications (i.e. EN
60950 for data processing
equipment and EN 60601 for
electrical medical equipment).
♦Only an authorized system
configuration technician responsible
for meeting the specifications of
standard EN 60601-1-1 may
connect additional devices to the
signal inputs or outputs.
SAFETY STANDARD
The Vista basic meets all safety
standards for medical electrical devices,
corresponding to IEC 60601-1 and IEC
60601-2-4.
NOTE: IEC 60601-1 corresponds to
European Standard EN 60601.
