Attention: Consult accompanying documents!
Operation
➤ Ensure the unit is properly positioned and
secured.
➤ Prior to use check audible and visual alarms
during self test. Also check the device for possible
damage.
➤ If staff call is used we recommend to check the
equipment once after connecting the pump.
➤ Connect to patient only after switching on the
device. Interrupt the connection during changing
administration set(s) to prevent incorrect dose
delivery.
➤ Select cannula/catheter suitable for use with the
intended medical application.
➤ Position the infusion line free of kinks.
➤ Recommended change of disposables after 24 h
(consider national hygiene regulations).
➤ Compare displayed value with entered value.
Start infusion only if values are corresponding.
➤ Installation in medically used rooms must comply
with the appropriate regulations (e.g. VDE 0100,
VDE 0107 or IEC-publications.
➤ Possible explosion hazard if used in presence of
flammable anaesthetics!
➤ Air in line cannot be detected by the air detector
at stop-cocks, infusion ports and additional
administration set components.
Other components
➤ Variations in pressure (e.g. as caused by change
of level) can affect the accuracy of the device.
➤ Where several infusion lines are connected on
one single vascular access the possibility of their
exerting a mutual influence vice-versa cannot be
excluded.
➤ Refer to respective manufacturer’s information
for possible incompatibilities of equipment resp.
drugs.
➤ Use only compatible combinations of equipment,
accessories, working parts and disposables.
➤ It is recommended to use original Infusomat®
infusion lines only.
➤ The use of not recommended resp. incompatible
disposables may influence the technical specification.
➤ Connected electrical equipment must comply
with the relevant IEC/EN-publications
(e.g. IEC/EN 60950 for data-processing equipment).
The user/operator is responsible for the system
configuration if additional equipment is connected.
The international standard IEC/EN 60601-1-1 has to
be taken into account.
Safety Standards
The Infusomat® fmS satisfies all safety standards for
medical electrical devices in compliance with
IEC/EN 60601-1 and IEC/EN 60601-2-24.
➤ The EMC-limits (electro-mangnetic compatibility)
according to IEC/EN 60601-1-2 and IEC/EN
60601-2-24 are maintained. If the equipment is
operated in the vicinity of other equipment which
may cause high levels of interference (e.g. HF surgical
equipment, nuclear spin tomography units, mobile
telephones etc.) maintain the recommended protective distances for these devices. Under certain
conditions malfunctions may occur which lead to a
device alarm with permanent alarm tone (see also
alarm conditions, page 13). Interferences may occur
e.g. at electro-magnetic fields > 10 V/m resp.
electro-magnetic discharges > 8 kV.
