▪
Incorrect programming may cause injury to the patient.
▪
The medical personnel, home care giver or clinician shall train those who use the
SO
♥
CONNECT PAR
®
pump at home.
▪
The date and time must be entered correctly, as the therapy information is directly related to the time of the
SO
♥
CONNECT
PAR
®
pump. Care must also be taken to ensure the correct time when the flow rate programming or time zone has been
changed.
▪
Do not vent the catheter while it is connected to the patient, as this may result in overdose of the drug.
▪
Before starting an infusion, check the catheter to avoid possible kinks, closed braces or other occlusions.
▪
To avoid damaging the infusion pump and its accessories, never leave the units unattended within reach of children and pets.
▪
To avoid damaging the pump, do not sterilize components of the infusion pump.
▪
If the infusion pump should fall or be shocked, make sure the pump is not damaged. Never use the infusion pump if it shows
cracks or other visible damage.
8
Warning
▪
Avoid contact of the infusion pump with medication or hygiene items (for example antiseptics, antibiotic creams, soaps,
perfumes, deodorants, body lotions or other cosmetic products). These may cause discoloration of the infusion pump or damage
the display.
▪
Keep the battery away from fire.
▪
Dispose of the packaging, infusion set, battery and all other electronic components properly to protect the environment.
▪
The infusion pump complies with the IEC 60601-1-2 Electromagnetic Compatibility standard and can therefore be used with
other medical devices that comply with this standard. However, to avoid pump malfunction, do not use the pump near strong
sources of electromagnetic interference.
▪
To avoid irreversible damage to the circuits, do not expose the

Description of the pump
The SO
♥
CONNECT PAR
®
pump is an ambulatory infusion pump that is intended for the controlled subcutaneous administration of
apomorphine (active ingredient) for treating Parkinson’s disease. It uses 20 ml, 30 ml or 50 ml SO
♥
FILL
®
sterile single-use syringes. Those
SO
♥
FILL
®
syringes have been designed especially for use with the SO
♥
CONNECT PAR
®
pump.
The SO
♥
CONNECT PAR
®
pump has been designed for use by healthcare professionals in a clinical environment and by ambulatory users
(patients and healthcare professionals) in patients’ homes.
The features of the SO
♥
CONNECT PAR
®
pump have been designed to make treatment easier and keep the patient safe.
▪ Screen with resistive touch panel
The SO
♥
CONNECT PAR
®
pump has a screen with a resistive touch panel that makes configuration and infusion control easier.
▪ Two operating modes for infusion: MANUAL or AUTO
In MANUAL mode, the SO
♥
CONNECT PAR
®
pump offers the possibility to set up to 3 infusion rates that can be selected according
to the needs during the infusion.
In AUTO mode, the SO
♥
CONNECT PAR
®
pump offers the possibility to set up to 4 time slots over a period of 24 hours. Each of
these time slots is associated with an adjustable infusion rate.
▪ Setting up infusion rates
Infusion rates can be set in ml/h or mg/h.
Infusion rates can be adjusted from 0 to 8 ml/h in increments of 0.01 ml/h or from 0 to 15 mg/h in increments of 0.01 mg/h.
▪ Bolus setup
The SO
♥
CONNECT PAR
®
pump allows you to define the number of bolus doses allowed during the infusion, the volume of a bolus
(from 0 to 8 ml in increments of 0.01 ml or from 0 to 15 mg/h in increments of 0.01 mg/h) and duration of the lockout interval (from
0 to 24 h in increments of 15 minutes).
▪ Medication reminder alarm (optional)
The SO
♥
CONNECT PAR
®
pump features alarms to remind the patient to take his or her oral medication. It offers the facility to set
up to 24 different times for these alarms.
▪ Facility to adjust the infusion rate during infusion
The SO
♥
CONNECT PAR
®
pump makes it possible to adjust the infusion rate during infusion. This function is of great use when the
pump infusion rate is being adapted to the patient’s motor condition.
▪ Saving of infusion settings
The settings of the last infusion are saved automatically even if the battery is changed. They can be used to start an infusion more
speedily.
▪ Priming
The SO
♥
CONNECT PAR
®
pump has a priming function, which is available when the infusion starts or during the infusion process.
11
▪ Locking of setup function
The infusion setup functions are only accessible after entering a password.
▪ Infusion precision
The feed mechanism (pusher) of the SO
♥
CONNECT PAR
®
pump directly controls the seal of the SO
♥
FILL
®
syringe, which makes
for very precise administration of the medication. The SO
♥
CONNECT PAR
®
pump administers a dose dependent on the set
infusion rate every 18 seconds.
▪ Bluetooth Low Energy connection
A Bluetooth Low Energy connection is used to export the clinical data and control the infusion with a remote control.
Remark
▪
France Développement Electronique shall only be liable for the safety and proper working of the
SO
♥
CONNECT PAR
®
pump
if it is used in accordance with these instructions and if any repairs or modifications have been carried out exclusively by France
Développement Electronique.
Contraindications
The SO
♥
CONNECT PAR
®
pump may not be used in case of severe cognitive impairment or psychotic symptoms and by persons who do not
have the physical capacity (paralysis, accident, malformation) or the necessary maturity (children) to use the SO
♥
CONNECT PAR
®
pump.
Adequate eyesight and hearing are necessary to identify the sound and visual alarms of the pump.
