Abbott GemStar Pump Set WARNING:

ALWAYS prime the pump set to remove air from the cassette, tubing, and injection sites prior to connecting to the patient. ALWAYS disconnect the pump set from the patient prior to priming or purging. Arrange tubing, cords, and cables to minimize the risk of patient strangulation or entanglement. Failure to use the anti-siphon valve may result in unrestricted flow.

CAUTION: USE ONLY Abbott GemStar Pump Sets with the Abbott GemStar Pump. Use of unauthorized sets may result in injury to the patient or damage to the pump. To prevent contamination, use aseptic technique with all fluid-path connections. Remove protective coverings as assembly progresses.

/

Note: Purge rate is 250 mL/hr. The pump purges for up to 2 minutes each time you press and hold [PURGE].
