X-ray Identification of the Implanted Pump
Use standard x-ray equipment to read the manufacturer's identity, pump model,
and year of manufacture, as shown in Figure 2.
Pump Catheter
The pump catheter is made of medical-grade silicone elastomer impregnated with
barium sulfate. Note: Although the catheter is x-ray detectable, on x-ray a gap
of 1–2 mm appears between the catheter and the pump body. This gap does not
indicate a faulty connection.
O.R. Prep Kit
Supplies needed to prepare the pump for implantation are included in the unit box.
The O.R. Prep Kit contains the following components (see Figure 3):
Catheter connector and strain relief sleeve
Filling needles, clear hub (2)
Filter, 0.2 micron
Syringe-to-syringe luer connectors (2)
One-way stopcock
50 mL collection syringe with TYVEK
10 mL syringes (4)
Connecting tube
Bolus needles, purple hub (2)
How Supplied
This product is for SINGLE USE ONLY; DO NOT RESTERILIZE. Codman Single Use
devices have not been designed to undergo or withstand any form of alteration,
such as disassembly, cleaning or re-sterilization, after a single patient use. These
devices are intended to come into contact with the central nervous system and
the ability does not currently exist to destroy possible contaminates such as
Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease. Reuse can also compromise device performance
and any usage beyond the design intent of this single-use device can result in
unpredictable use hazards or loss of functionality. (THIS STATEMENT APPLIES TO
NON-IMPLANTABLE COMPONENTS ONLY.)
Codman & Shurtleff will not be responsible for any product that is resterilized, nor
accept for credit or exchange any product that has been opened but not used.
As long as the inner units are not opened or damaged, the product is sterile.

Pump Alarms
The pump's audible alarm will sound an alert for a variety of conditions. Instruct
the patient to immediately contact the physician's office if the alarm sounds.
The alarm consists of a very short beep (1/10
30 seconds.
If the pump alarm sounds, use the control unit to interrogate the pump to
determine the cause of the alarm. The control unit will display the appropriate
message (see Table 3) and will beep in a pattern of several beeps. The beeping
will continue until you correct the condition or turn off the control unit. Read the
MedStream Programming Guide for more information.
Some error conditions will not cause the pump alarm to sound, but will cause
an error message to appear on the control unit the next time the pump is
interrogated. These messages are also included in Table 3.
