SYRINGE - Warnings and Cautions
WARNING: A biological hazard may occur if syringes are reused. Do not reuse the used syringe and fill tube with another patient Properly dispose of the disposable in accordance with your facility’s contaminated blood product disposable protocols.
WARNINGS •
Correctly load the syringe. Improper loading may cause an under volume delivery, air embolization or personal injury.
•
Filled syringes, which are stored, can promote bacterial growth. Imaxeon syringes are intended to be filled, and then used immediately. Discard all filled syringes, in particular when removed from the injector for some period of time.
•
Minimize the length of the fluid path from the syringe to the patient. The connection of additional infusion systems/accessories to the central fluid path from the injector to the patient increases resistance to flow. This could cause under flow rates, under volumes, or stall conditions which could possibly cause the procedure to be repeated.
•
Use extreme care when selecting flow rates to avoid the unintentional programming of an inappropriate high rate injection. Always check settings before arming and injecting; high flow rate injections may cause patient injury.
•
Air embolization can cause patient injury or death; do not connect a patient to the injector until all trapped air has been cleared from the syringe, connector tubing and catheter. Operator vigilance and care, coupled with a set procedure is essential to the avoidance of air embolism.
•
Patient infection may result from the use of non-sterile components, do not remove plunger to fill the syringe. Maintain sterility of all disposable components.
CAUTIONS •
The syringe may be damaged if hit with tools while attempting to eliminate air. Only use the palm of hand to gently hit the syringe or pressure jacket to dislodge air bubbles.
•
Ensure pressure settings are lower than catheter and connector ratings. Should an occlusion occur, disposable components with a lower pressure rating may be subjected to pressure beyond their capability, resulting in failure.
•
The syringe heat maintainer incorporates a failure indicator light; if indicator light is lit while on the syringe, remove the heat maintainer. This indicates that the syringe heater is overheating and should not be used.
