Indications For Use - Braun Easypump C-bloc RA Manual Del Usuario

Pump position - position the pump at approximately the same level as the catheter
site:
• Positioning the pump above this level increases flow rate.
• Positioning the pump below this level decreases flow rate.
Temperature
• The Select-A-Flow* device should be worn outside clothing and kept at room
temperature.
• To ensure flow rate accuracy, do not place heat or cold therapy in close proximity to
the flow controller.
• Temperature will affect solution viscosity, resulting in faster or slower flow rate.
• Select-A-Flow* device have been calibrated using Normal Saline (NS) as the
diluent and room temperature (22°C, 72°F) as the operating environment. Flow rate
will increase approximately 1.4% per 1°F/0.6°C increase in temperature and will
decrease approximately 1.4% per 1°F/0.6°C decrease in temperature.
• If refrigerated, allow pump to reach room temperature before using.
• It may take approximately 12-15 hours for a pump to reach room temperature.

Storage
• Storage of a filled Easypump
starting infusion may result in a slower flow rate.
External pressure
• External pressure such as squeezing or laying on pump increases flow rate.
