Curlin Administration set with Air-Eliminating Filter

• Male Luer with Vented Cap
• With a Non-Vented Bag Spike

For use with the CURLIN 6000 and CURLIN PainSmart Infusion Pumps

NOTE

• Do not use if package is opened or damaged as sterility may be compromised.
• Aseptic technique required for all fluid pathway connections. If alcohol is used to disinfect junctions, allow for evaporation time prior to connecting.
• Patients and caregivers must be instructed by a qualified clinician before use.
• To prevent occurrences of false Air In Line Alarms, bring the solution to room temperature prior to infusion.
• Prior to the start of any infusion, refer to the CURLIN pump “User’s Manual” for any applicable precautionary instructions.

WARNING: Avoid leaving tubing and cords where infants, children, or those deemed at high risk for medical line entanglement, can become entangled. Be aware that if these items become wrapped around a patient’s neck, there is an increased risk of strangulation or death. Caregivers of patients who are at risk for entanglement should discuss with their health care provider how to properly manage their lines and properly monitor patients based on their needs while in use.

WARNING: Do not prime while the tubing is connected to the patient’s access device. Doing so could result in overdose or air embolism and may cause injury

CAUTION: Recommended administration set usage not to exceed 72 hours

Directions for Use

Connect administration set to drug reservoir

NOTE: If a Check Valve Adapter is provided, connect it to the distal end of the set.

• Twist and remove breakaway tab from amber-colored “Flow-Stop” (figure 1).
• Close the slide clamp (figure 2-C).
• Insert the spike into the port on the IV bag. Do not touch the spike or uncapped luers, as this may contaminate the fluid.
• Prime set according to one of the following methods.

NOTE: To allow fluid to flow through the tubing after the breakaway tab has been removed, squeeze the “Flow-Stop” between the thumb and forefinger (figure 4).

Priming Methods

NOTE: To maintain sterility during setup, the vented blue cap should be left in place on the luer (figure 2-B) while priming.

Priming by gravity:

• Open slide clamp (figure 2-C).
• If the IV bag contains air, turn bag upside down and gently squeeze the bag while pressing the “Flow-Stop” between thumb and forefinger (figure 4) until the air is removed from the bag.
• If your administration set has a filter (figure 5), proceed with step 4, otherwise, continue pressing the “Flow-Stop” to allow fluid to flow through tubing and then skip to step 8.
• Place IV bag on an IV pole or flat surface that will position it higher than the filter. Hold the filter upright while looking at the front of the filter (figure 5).
• Press the “Flow-Stop” to allow fluid to flow.
• As the fluid fills the filter, slowly tilt the top of the filter from side to side up to 90 degrees (figure 6). Tap the filter housing to release air bubbles.
• Return the filter to an upright position and continue priming until air has been removed from the ribbed section of the filter and the full length of tubing.

NOTE: It is normal to see air on the back/flat side of the filter (figure 7- G) and in the top triangular portion of the filter (figure 7-H)

• Ensure that air has been removed and fluid has reached the end of the tubing. Release the “Flow- Stop” and immediately close the slide clamp.
• Once the slide clamp is closed, inspect the full length of tubing again to ensure there is no air present.

Priming by pump:

• Follow the pump “User’s Manual” or “Patient Information Guide” instructions for priming with the pump. If your administration set has a filter, follow the filter priming steps 4, 6 & 7 above.

After priming, close the slide clamp until you are ready to start the infusion.

Instructions for inserting the administration set into the CURLIN pump.

• If still attached, twist and remove breakaway tab from amber-colored “Flow-Stop” (figure 1).
• Insert blue “Tubing Guide” into cavity on right side of pump. The blue arrow (figure 2-E) on the background surface of pump head indicates direction and location for the blue “Tubing Guide.”

CAUTION: Be sure the tubing is in front of the door as shown and that the “Tubing Guide” is inserted all the way into the receptacle before closing the pump door.

• Insert “Flow-Stop” into the cavity on the left side of the pump so that the tubing lies in the middle of the set loading chamber. Then, push the tubing slightly into the black Air Detector slot (figure 2-D). The yellow arrow (figure 3-F) on the background surface of the pump head indicates the direction and location for the amber “Flow-Stop”.

CAUTION: Hold the “Flow-Stop” by the small handle (figure 1-A) as shown above. DO NOT PRESS down on the top of the “Flow-Stop” when inserting it into the receptacle. This action could inadvertently open the “Flow-Stop” and allow fluid to flow through the tubing.

NOTE: Refer to the pump user manual or patient information guide for information on steps to take for starting and completing the infusion.
