3.0 Operating the Pump<br />
Starting the Pump<br />
Section 3: Operating the Pump<br />
When you start the pump, programmed values will be automatically reviewed.<br />
Then fluid delivery will begin as programmed, and “RUN” will appear<br />
on the main screen. If the pump will not start, a message will appear<br />
on the display. Refer to the Messages and Alarms Table in Section 5.<br />
WARNING: Prior to starting infusion, inspect the fluid path for kinks, a<br />
closed clamp, or other upstream occlusions, and remove all air to prevent<br />
air embolism. An undetected upstream occlusion may result in under- or<br />
non-delivery of medication, and, depending upon the type of medication<br />
being delivered, could result in death or serious injury to the patient. Air<br />
embolism could result in death or serious injury to the patient.<br />
