General Precautions
wAttention consult accompanying documents: Prior to using this pump, carefully read the Operating
Precautions described in the Directions for Use (DFU).
VThis pump contains static-sensitive components. Observe strict precautions for the protection of static
sensitive components when attempting to repair and service the pump.
BAn explosion hazard exists if the pump is used in the presence of flammable anaesthetics. Exercise care
to locate the pump away from any such hazardous sources.
Dangerous Voltage. An electrical shock hazard exists if the casing of the pump is opened or removed.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
MThis pump is protected against the effects of high energy radio frequency emissions and is designed
to be fail safe if extremely high levels of interference are encountered. Should false alarm conditions
be encountered, either remove the source of the interference or regulate the infusion by another
appropriate means.
Alaris®
GP
If the pump is dropped, subjected to excessive moisture, humidity or high temperature, or otherwise
suspected to have been damaged, remove it from service for inspection by qualified service personnel.
When connected to an external power source, a three-wire (Live, Neutral, Earth) supply must be used. If
the integrity of the external protective conductor in the installation or its arrangement is in doubt, the
pump should be operated from the battery.
