SAFETY SYSTEM TO AVOID FREE-FLOW
"Free flow" means an uncontrolled
release of the infusion solution
from the syringe caused by gra -
vity. In order to prevent this from
happening, the tip of the pump
pusher has been knurled, which
part must be inserted inside the
rubber piston of the Crono 10-20
ml syringe, allowing a secure con-
nection to be made with the syrin -
ge piston.
CAUTIONS
Before the drug administration is
started the rubber piston has to be
connected to the pump pusher ,if
this is not the case the following
unwanted effects may occur:
• The infusion starts late and is
not performed with accuracy.
• The anti free flow function is not
operational.
WARNING
The improper connection between
the syringe piston and the pump
pusher can cause a free flow of
medication, in other words, medi -
cation administered by gravity and
not controlled by the pump, (for
example when the pump is posi -
tioned much higher than the infu -
sion site). Such situation can
cause serious injury or death of
the patient.
