WARNINGS
♦ B. Braun will assume no
responsibility for incidents which
may occur if the product is not used
in accordance with product labeling.
♦ Make sure the pump is stable, either
fastened securely to the IV pole or
resting on a flat surface.
♦ Prior to use, always check the
audible and visual alarms (and staff
call, where applicable).
♦ Connection of pump tubing to the
patient should only be made after
the tubing is loaded and the unit is
turned on. Disconnect tubing from
patient when changing solution
containers to avoid the danger of
incorrect dosage.
♦ Ensure there are no kinks in the
tubing.
♦ Always read and follow the
instructions that accompany the
source container and IV
administration sets you are using.
Carefully follow the instructions for
loading, removing, and reloading the
set, as well as the recommended set
change intervals.
♦ Change pumping section on tubing
every 24 hours. Do not use tubing
for more than 72 hours or per
current facility protocol.
♦ Always check pump data prior to
starting infusion.
♦ Do not operate this device in
environments where there is an
explosion hazard! A possible
explosion hazard exists if the pump
is used in the presence of
flammable anesthetics.
♦ The EMC-limits (Electro-magnetic
compatibility) according to IEC/EN
60601-1-2 and IEC/EN 60601-2-24
are maintained. If the equipment is
operated near other equipment
which may cause high levels of
interference (e.g. HF surgical
equipment, nuclear spin tomography
units, mobile telephones, etc.)
maintain the recommended
protective distances for these
devices. Under certain conditions,
malfunctions may occur which lead
to a device alarm with permanent
alarm tone. Interference may occur
e.g. at electro-magnetic fields > 10
[V/m] resp. electro-magnetic
discharges > [8 kV].
♦ Monitoring of the patient and
infusion status is necessary to
ensure the infusion is being
delivered as anticipated. The Vista
basic has been designed to stop
fluid flow to the patient under certain
alarm conditions. Also, prior to
starting an infusion, verify that no
drops are falling in the drip chamber
and the programmed information is
correct.
