FUNCTION
1. Upstream occlusion sensor
Detects a tubing restriction upstream of the pump.
2. Pumping fingers
The linear peristaltic pump mechanism consists of cam-driven pumping fingers which successively manipulate the tubing against the backplate, resulting in fluid movement in a downward direction.
3. Downstream occlusion sensor
Detects tubing restrictions downstream of the pump. The sensitivity level can be adjusted to suit the needs of the hospital through the device's configuration.
4. Air sensor
Detects air bubbles in the tubing. The sensitivity is adjustable via the device's configuration.
5. Safety clamp
Prevents accidental fluid flow by automatically occluding the tubing whenever the pump door is opened.
6. Slide clamp slot
The slide clamp loading option is selectable through the configuration. When the slide clamp loading option is enabled, the I.V. set's slide clamp must be inserted into this slot. The operator must push the slide clamp into the slot to occlude the tubing before the I.V. set can be removed from the pump.
7. Slide clamp spring retainer
If your hospital has not selected the slide clamp loading option, this spring retainer is inserted into the slide clamp slot, preventing the insertion of the slide clamp.

Operating Instructions
Precautions General
10
•
DANGER-Possible explosion hazard if used in the presence of flammable anesthetics.
•
Operate device from 115 V, 60 Hz, hospital-grade earth-grounded outlet only.
•
Though the factory-supplied configuration settings are suitable for most therapies, the operator and hospital professionals should verify that the device's settings are appropriate for their clinical applications.
•
Use only with standard Baxter® soft tubing administration sets with an “s” designation.
•
Read and understand this manual before using this device.
•
When infusing fluid through a central line catheter, Baxter recommends that sets with a Luer lock adapter be used.
•
If using a filter set, use only filters which are suitable for use with infusion pumps. Read and follow instructions of the filter to be used.
•
To use the automatic piggyback function, use only Continu-Flo® sets from Baxter as the primary line with a compatible secondary set for the secondary line.
•
As with all medical electronic equipment, care must be exercised to avoid exposing this device to powerful sources of electromagnetic interference. This device design has been tested to the requirements of
7-19-B1-564
MDS–201–004, and applicable portions of MIL–STD–461C, which are voluntary test guidelines for electromagnetic susceptibility and emissions. This device was not found to be adversely affected by the susceptibility tests in these specifications, and will perform safely. The device's emissions were also found to be acceptable.
Epidural Administration • Epidural administration of anesthetics is limited to short-term infusion (not to exceed 96 hours) with indwelling catheters specifically indicated for shortterm anesthetic epidural drug delivery. •
Epidural administration of analgesics is limited to use with indwelling catheters specifically indicated for either short-term or long-term analgesic epidural drug delivery.
•
To prevent infusion of drugs that are not indicated for epidural use, do not use administration sets that incorporate injection sites during epidural delivery.
•
It is strongly recommended that pumps used for epidural drug delivery be clearly differentiated from pumps used for other routes of administration.
•
WARNING-Epidural administration of drugs other than those indicated for epidural use could result in serious injury to the patient.
