CHARGING THE BATTERY The pump can operate while it is being charged. To preserve battery life, connect the pump to a wall outlet, using the power supply cord, whenever possible. To charge the battery: 1

With the white arrows facing up, plug the plastic end of the power supply cord into the Sapphire pump power socket.

2

Plug the other end of the power supply cord into a wall outlet.

3

On the front of the pump, verify that the Charge LED status indicator is ON (blinking yellow light). The yellow LED will remain steady on when battery is fully charged.

An alarm is triggered when there are 30 minutes left until battery depletion. This time may vary depending on the delivery rate, the frequency of pressing the keys and whether the backlight is on. When the Battery Depletion alarm sounds, or following long periods of storage, connect the pump to the wall outlet, using the power supply, immediately.

WARNINGS !

Avoid placing the administration set or power cord on the floor or any other location where it can accidentally be damaged or provide a risk of strangulation, particularly due to excessive length.

!

Before charging the battery, ensure that the device is completely dry. Failure to do so may compromise patient safety. Ensure that only a rechargeable LI-Ion battery designated for the Sapphire pump is used.

Do not operate pump with the safety door open. When using filtered-sets, maintain filter level below the vascular access site. Do not pull or stretch the tubing in any section of the administration set when the pump is in use or apply pressure to the reservoir container. Ensure that the bottom flange is inside the cassette housing.

!

Do not place the Remote Bolus Cord where the button might accidentally be pushed. Accidentally pushing the button may deliver an inadvertent demand bolus.

!

When using a mini-cradle, the bolus handle must be connected directly to the pump.

!

PCA and PCEA: The demand bolus option should be used only by the patient. Administration of a demand bolus by anyone other than the patient (especially if the patient is sleeping or sedated) incurs the risk of potentially fatal overdose.

!

Make sure there is no leakage from the container, and that the spike is firmly attached to the container.
