MAN 01/06/USA/p CRONO FIVE 11.10
The pump must be used:
• under strict medical control,
• using proper procedure and suitable measure to the patient that could
suffer serious consequences (injury or death) following involuntary
misuse and/or device failure with consequently interruption of the drug
administration.
Do not prime any kind of tubing when connected to a patient, as this
could result in over-delivery of medication and air embolism.
Eliminate all air bubbles in all lines before starting an infusion to avoid
air embolism.
Inspect the whole fluid path for kinks or closed clamps or any other
obstruction before the infusion is started.
Accuracy, time to an occlusion alarm signal and post-occlusion bolus
size may deviate from the information in this user guide depending on
which type of extension set, tubing and access devices are used for the
administration of a medication (details are supplied on ANNEX 1, 2 and
3).
The improper connection between the syringe piston and the pump pus-
her can cause a free flow of medication, in other words, medication
administered by gravity and not controlled by the pump, (for example
when the pump is positioned much higher than the infusion site). Such
situation can cause serious injury or death of the patient. Please refer
to Section 5 of this User Guide for detailed instructions of Safety
System to Avoid Free-Flow.
For patients that are likely to be adversely af fected by interrupted medica -
tion or fluid delivery from Crono Five, close supervision for immediate cor -
rective action should be provided.
If you know or suspect that the pump has been damaged in any way, for
example through water or impact, please contact your local Customer
