Warnings and Cautions
Warnings tell you about dangerous
conditions, that could lead to death or
serious injury to the user or patient, that
can occur if you do not obey all of the
instructions in this manual.
1. WARNING:You should ensure that the
performance offered by the pump is fit for the
intended purpose. Failure to do so may result
in compromised function of the product,
patient injury or user injury.
2. WARNING: Do not use a faulty pump.If the
pump detects a fault when it is first turned on,
or if it develops a fault during operation then a
continuous system alarm sounds.The pump
must be referred to a suitably qualified
technician orreturnedto Graseby Medicalin
order to have the fault rectified.
3. WARNING: Before using the pump,it should be
inspected for physical damage.The pump
should not be used if damage is evident, and
should be returned to service personnel for
repair before being returned to use. Failure to
do so may result in compromised function of
the product,patient injury or user injury.
4. WARNING: Do not use the pump if you detect
any cracks, chips and loose or bent parts, or
if the buttons do not move in and out freely
when they are pressed. Failure to do so could
cause inadvertent disconnection of the pumps.
5. WARNING: Do not push or pull on the pumps,
or the IV pole may tip over or the pumps fall
to the floor. Do not try to remove modular
connected pumps from the IV pole whilst they
are joined together.Either of these could
cause the administration set to separate from
the fluid container thus spilling the
medication, or the pumps themselves could be
damaged.
6. WARNING:Correct entry of data is essential in
order to ensure that the intended infusion is
performed. Before confirming any displayed
data when setting up an infusion, you should
ensure that it is correct. Failure to do so may
result in compromised function of the product,
patient injury or user injury.
7. WARNING: Dose-rate calculation requires
care in entering data. Refer to specific product
drug labelling for information on appropriate
administration techniques and dosages.
Entering incorrect data may result in patient
injury or death.
8. WARNING:When delivering drugs in the
epidural space, use only those medications
specifically indicated for epidural use.
Epidural administration of other drugs could
result in serious patient injury or death.
9. WARNING:The use of administration sets
incorporating injection sites could lead to an
improper or inappropriate infusion resulting in
serious patient injury or death.
10. WARNING:Failure to clearly identify the pump
and administration sets could lead to an
improper or inappropriate infusion resulting in
serious patient injury or death.
11. WARNING: Remove any air to prevent air
embolism.The presence of air within the
infusion can result in complications resulting
in patient injury or death.
12. WARNING: To avoid over infusion,do not
prime the infusion line when the admini-
stration set is connected to the patient. Over
infusion can result in patient injury or death.
13. WARNING:The Occlusion alarm level must be
checked before starting an infusion to ensure
that it is appropriate for the infusion. Failure
to do so may result in an unacceptably slow
time to Occlusion alarm, resulting in patient
injury or death.
14. WARNING:Prior to starting an infusion,
inspect the fluid path for kinks, a closed clamp
or other obstructions. Failure to do so may
result in the infusion not being delivered
correctly, resulting in patient injury or death.
15. WARNING:If using a blood pressure cuff above
the patient’s venipuncture site take extra care
in setting the Occlusion alarm pressures.
Failure to do so may result in unnecessary
Occlusion alarms, resulting in patient injury
or death.
16. WARNING:The Occlusion detection system
measures downline pressure in the admini-
stration set, but does not detect infiltration. In
accordance with local protocol, you must
periodically inspect the patient’s infusion site
for signs of infiltration. Failure to do so may
result in an unacceptably slow time to
Occlusion resulting in patient injury or death.
17. WARNING:If an Occlusion alarm occurs,
immediately clamp the line to the patient.Then
inspect the fluid pathway to determine what
has caused the obstruction. An unintentional
bolus of medication can result in patient injury
or death.
Warnings

Volumetric Infusion Pumps
Warnings and Cautions
Graseby Medical Ltd.
18. WARNING:Do not run parallel infusion lines
below the pump. Delivering a Secondary
infusion means running a second line
above
the pump. Failure to do so may result in an
inaccurate delivery of medication, resulting in
patient injury or death.
19. WARNING:Check the Secondary set carefully,
since an occlusion above the pump on the
Secondary line could cause the Primary fluid
to be delivered instead of the Secondary
infusion. Administering the wrong medication
may cause serious patient injury or death.
20. WARNING:The Secondary volume to be infused
must match the amount of fluid in the
secondary container.Primary flow resumes
when the secondary container is empty. If the
volumes do not correspond, the wrong infusion
may be delivered which could cause serious
patient injury or death.
21. WARNING: Correct management of battery
charging, as described in this documentation
is essential to ensure that the pump can
operate on battery for the time specified.
Failure to do so may result in compromised
function of the product or patient injury.
22. WARNING:If a backup alarm sounds,the pump
should be immediately removed from the
patient and sent to be repaired by a Graseby
Medical qualified technician. Failure to do so
may cause patient injury or death.
23. WARNING:Failure to use the power cord
retainer means that the pump may be
accidentally or erroneously disconnected from
the mains. Although there is a battery backup
in case this happens, the battery may not be
charged sufficiently.Consequently, there is a
risk of the pump not functioning which could
lead to patient injury or death.
24. WARNING:Donot open thepump housing.
Refer all service faults only to qualified
technical personnel. Opening the pump
housing may cause electric shock leading to
patient or user injury or death.
25. WARNING:When the pump is carrying out an
infusion, to ensure that electrical safety is
maintained, only items of equipment that
conform to EN60950 are to be connected to the
RS232 connector situated at the back of the
pump, otherwise patient safety may be
compromised.
26. WARNING:While Graseby Medical Limited
have taken all reasonable steps to ensure that
the pump operates correctly while under
remote control, it is the responsibility of the
person who designs and implements the
controlling device to ensure that the resulting
system (pump and controlling device) is fit for
its intended purpose. Failure to do so may
result in compromised function of the product,
patient injury or user injury.
27. WARNING:Use only Graseby Medical
administration sets with this product. Failure
to do so may result in compromised system
accuracy leading to complications resulting in
patient injury or death.
Cautions tell you about dangerous
conditions that can occur and cause damage
to the pump if you do not obey all of the
instructions in this manual.
1. CAUTION: Refer all service, repair and
calibrations only to qualified technical
personnel. Unauthorised modifications to the
pump must not be carried out.
2. CAUTION: Do not autoclave, steam sterilize,
ETO sterilise or subject the pump to
temperatures in excess of 55° C (131° F).
Excessive temperatures may cause damage to
thepump.
3. CAUTION:To prevent serious damage to the
pump it must not be immersed in any liquids or
exposed to strong organic solvents.Wipe off
spills immediately. Do not allow fluid or
residues to remain on the pump.Additionally,
Cautions the pump is not designed to allow it to be
sterilised. Failure to observe these cautions
may cause internal damage to the pump.
4. CAUTION: Carry out periodic cleaning
following the detailed instructions in the
Volumetric Infusion Pumps Service Manual . Do
not use unapproved cleaning agents.
5. CAUTION:When turning the pump on, if
screens similar to those illustrated are not
displayed, do not use the pump, and send the
pump to authorised service personnel.
6. CAUTION: Only carry the pump by the handle.
Failure to do so may result in damage to the
pump, or the pump may be dropped which
could cause internal damage to the pump.
7 CAUTION:The backlight has a limited life and
may,if used constantly, cause the light to dim.
Eventually the message display may then need
to be replaced.To preserve the life of the
message display,you should only turn on the
Message Display Light as described here if it
is specifically required. Misuse of this feature
could lead to both battery and LCD depletion.
