This is an addendum to the PainSmart™ IOD Ambulatory Infusion Systems User Manual, which provides patients, technicians, and caregivers with additional information important to the safe and effective use of the Curlin PainSmart™ IOD ambulatory infusion system.
This document serves as an addendum to the operator's manual for the Curlin Medical PainSmart™ IOD ambulatory infusion system. It outlines specific modifications intended to improve safety and accuracy, particularly regarding pump handling and testing protocols.
The text elevates two existing cautions to warnings: one advising visual inspection of the pump before use, and another prohibiting dropping or hitting the pump against hard surfaces. If a drop occurs, the pump must undergo a volumetric accuracy test before reuse; failure requires returning the unit to Curlin Medical for evaluation.
The pump must be checked for volumetric accuracy prior to reuse. If it fails the test, it must be returned to Curlin Medical.
It is intended for use by technicians in outpatient, Home Care, or Alternate Care settings where anti-siphon valves are not used.
