Before cleaning always switch OFF and disconnect from the AC power supply. Never allow liquid to enter the
casing and avoid excess fluid build up on the pump. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents as these may damage
the exterior surface of the pump. Do not steam autoclave, ethylene oxide sterilise or immerse this pump in any
fluid.
Ensure the pressure transducer is free from residues, which may prevent correct operation of the disc detector.
The syringe and extension sets are disposable single use items and should be discarded after use according to their manufacturers’
instructions.
If the pump is to be stored for an extended period it should be first cleaned and the internal battery fully charged. Store in a clean, dry
atmosphere at room temperature and, if available, employ the original packaging for protection.
Once every 3 months during storage, carry out functional tests as described in the Technical Service Manual and ensure that the internal
battery is fully charged.
