Description
Intended use Volumat MC Agilia is an infusion pump designed for intravenous (IV) administration of drugs, solutions, fluids, parenteral nutrition and transfusion (special set required). It must be used only by trained professionals working in hospitals.
Precautions to be taken When a device is marked with the symbol, operators must imperatively review the corresponding Instructions for use prior to using this device. The use of infusion modes by untrained persons may lead to drug administration errors. Volumat MC Agilia has been tested in accordance with the electromagnetic compatibility standards applicable to medical devices. Its immunity is designed to ensure correct operation. The limitation of the emitted radiations avoids undesirable interference with other equipment such EEG, ECG, etc. If Volumat MC Agilia is placed near devices like HF surgical equipment, X-rays, mobile phones or Wi-Fi access points, it is essential to observe a minimum distance between the Volumat MC Agilia and this equipment (see page 65 Electromagnetic Immunity). Use in a Magnetic Resonance Imaging unit: the pump may be operated safely with the MRI Guard Agilia device only in order to prevent electromagnetic interferences. Please refer to its specific Instructions For Use. The device must not be used in presence of inflammable anaesthetic agents due to a risk of explosion. It should always be used away from all risk areas. The device can be disturbed by pressure or pressure variations, mechanical shocks, heat ignition sources, etc. If you wish to use the device in specific conditions, please contact our After-Sales Department. The pump must be used in a horizontal and stable position to work correctly. The physiological effects of medicine can be influenced by the characteristics of the device and the associated disposable (constituent material is commonly listed on the set packaging). Check that they are compatible with prescriptions, the characteristics of trumpet curves and occlusion alarm setting times in relation to the programmed flow rate. The device uses a Lithium-ion rechargeable battery. Incorrect handling of a Lithium-ion battery by nonqualified personnel may cause battery leakage, overheating, smoke, explosion or fire, which could result in deterioration of performance or failure. This may also damage the protection device installed in the battery pack, resulting in damage to the equipment or injury to the user (see page 68 - Use of the internal battery). In case of unexpected situation regarding pump controls or environment, the state of the art safe-design will raise an alarm, stop the infusion and display an error code. Users are invited to be aware of those alarms (see Chapter 6) and in cases where the device is used to deliver life sustaining therapies, like short half-life medications, to consider adequate provisions for back-up therapy delivery solutions.
