Hospira GemStar System Operating Manual

Chapter 1. Introduction

To ensure proper pump operation, ALWAYS replace BOTH disposable batteries

with fresh, disposable AA batteries when a change is required.

Inspect the disposable AA batteries for possible leakage, corrosion, or other

damage prior to use.

ALWAYS fully close the battery door when using disposable batteries.

DO NOT use rechargeable batteries in the battery compartment.

Ensure two fresh, disposable AA batteries are installed for backup power when

using other external power sources (e.g., AC mains adaptor, docking station,

battery pack). The pump will continue to operate on backup power if the external

power source fails. In the event that the internal batteries are removed while the

pump is operating, the

power loss

event may not be logged in the history, the

programmed therapy may not be retained, and the alarms (audible and visual) may

not occur.

ALWAYS avoid sources of high-intensity electromagnetic radiation (e.g., radio

transmitters, MRI scanners, microwave ovens, X-ray machines, and CAT

scanners).

Use of radio-frequency emitting devices, such as cellular telephones, 2-way

radios, and Electrical Surgical Devices (ESU), in close proximity to this device

may affect its operation.

Possible explosion hazard exists if the pump is used in the presence of flammable

anesthetics. NEVER use the pump in the presence of flammable or explosive

vapors.

Non-hazardous, low-level electrical potentials are commonly observed when

fluids are administered using infusion devices. These potentials are well within

accepted safety standards, but may create artifacts on voltage-sensing equipment,

such as ECG, EMG, and EEG machines. These artifacts vary at a rate that is

associated with the infusion rate. If the monitoring machine is not operating

correctly or has loose or defective connections to its sensing electrodes, these

artifacts may be accentuated so as to simulate actual physiological signals. To

determine if the abnormality in the monitoring equipment is caused by the

infusion device instead of some other source in the environment, set the infusion

device so that it is temporarily not delivering fluid (if clinically acceptable).

Disappearance of the abnormality indicates that it was probably caused by

electronic noise generated by the infusion device. Proper setup and maintenance

of the monitoring equipment should eliminate the artifact. Refer to the appropriate

monitoring system documentation for setup and maintenance instructions.

The GemStar Pump has been tested and found to comply with EMC/EMI limits in

accordance with:
