WARNINGS & CAUTIONS

After starting an infusion, make sure drops are falling in the drip chamber. If no drops are falling, make sure the roller clamp is open. If the roller clamp is open and still no drops are falling, replace and dispose of the set.

The air detector cannot recognize the introduction of air at 3-way stopcocks, infusion ports, and other lines/tubes below the pump.

See section entitled “Drop Sensor” for additional information on using the device without a drop sensor.

To avoid mechanical or electronic damage, do not steam autoclave or immerse the pump in any fluids or cleaning solutions. Always disconnect electrical power cord from outlet before cleaning to prevent electrical shock.

CAUTIONS

Rx only.

Do not attempt to infuse two fluids simultaneously using the Vistabasic.

Variations in pressure, e.g. caused by change in level of fluid container, may affect the accuracy of the device.

If several pieces of infusion equipment are connected together, it is possible there may be mutual influence. Possible incompatibilities can be found in the instructions for use for the drug or for the other appliances.

Use only equipment, accessories, parts, and disposables that are intended for use with the Vista basic.

Do not clean, disinfect, or sterilize any part of the device by autoclaving or with ethylene oxide gas. Doing so may damage the device and void the warranty. Only external parts of the pump should be disinfected. See “Maintenance, Storage, & Service” for suggested cleaning solutions.

Technical specifications are not guaranteed with any other tubing than that approved for use with the Vista basic.

Any analog and digital components connected must demonstrate that they meet EN specifications (i.e. EN 60950 for data processing equipment and EN 60601 for electrical medical equipment).

Only an authorized system configuration technician responsible for meeting the specifications of standard EN 60601-1-1 may connect additional devices to the signal inputs or outputs.

SAFETY STANDARD

The Vista basic meets all safety standards for medical electrical devices, corresponding to IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-2-4.

NOTE: IEC 60601-1 corresponds to European Standard EN 60601.
