• If any signs or symptoms of infiltration or inflammation are noted at the infusion site,<br />
stop the infusion and report it to the appropriate healthcare provider.<br />
• Always use the slide clamp on the administration set as an additional precaution to<br />
occlude the tubing before opening the door of the pump.<br />
• Do not subject the pump to dropping or hitting against a hard surface. If at any time the<br />
pump is dropped or hit, inspect it for signs of damage. If any damage is discovered,<br />
report the damage to the healthcare provider for replacement of the pump.<br />
NOTICES<br />
• The <strong>Curlin</strong> <strong>Med</strong>ical pump is not intended for the administration of blood or cellular<br />
blood products.<br />
• Dispose of all used administration sets in accordance with all applicable regulatory and<br />
institutional policies.<br />
• Teach users to check all tubing sites for proper aseptic connections and to check the<br />
administration sets for air leaks before and during the infusion.<br />
• To minimize the potential hazard of air bubble formation or “out-gassing,” administer all<br />
medications at the proper temperatures, and remove medications from refrigerators as<br />
specified by the healthcare provider or pharmaceutical manufacturer.<br />
• Follow local governing ordinances and recycling plans regarding disposal or recycling of<br />
device components. When the “C” size batteries are to be discarded, do not incinerate<br />
them. Dispose of all used administration sets in accordance with all applicable regulatory<br />
and institutional policies and directions.<br />
• Adhere to any warnings, precautions, or recommendations stated by drug manufacturers<br />
regarding the use of infusion pumps and disposable administration sets in the<br />
administration of their specific products.<br />
• Administer all drugs selected for epidural administration in accordance with the<br />
indications included in the manufacturer’s package insert accompanying the drugs.<br />
• Note that the administration of medications into the epidural space is limited to delivery<br />
via specially designed indwelling catheters inserted by a qualified physician. Any patients<br />
receiving epidural infusions should be managed and monitored by medical professionals<br />
familiar with epidural administrations and their clinical management. <strong>Curlin</strong> <strong>Med</strong>ical<br />
offers administration sets specifically designed for epidural infusions with 0.22 micron<br />
filters, no injection ports, and yellow striping to clearly identify the set for epidural use.<br />
Any administration set being used for epidural infusions should be clearly labeled as such.<br />
