Warnings and Precautions
Please observe the following warnings, precautions and instructions.
Failure to do so could result in damage to the pump, or death or
serious injury.
• Do not drop the pump, knock it against hard objects or put heavy
weight on top of it. If any of these things happen, inspect the
pump for damage. If the pump is damaged or is not functioning
properly, turn off the pump power and contact your healthcare
provider immediately.
• Do not try to open the pump casing, take the pump apart or fix the
pump yourself. Voltage present on the internal components may
cause severe electrical shock resulting in death or serious injury. If
a problem occurs or the pump is not functioning properly, turn off
the pump power and contact your healthcare provider immediately.
• Before starting medication infusion, check the tubing for a pinched
or twisted tube, a closed clamp or other occlusions (blockages) and
for any air bubbles. Correct any occlusion and remove any air bubble
as instructed by your healthcare provider.
• Before removing the medication bag/tubing set, close the tubing
with the clamp to prevent uncontrolled infusion of medication.
• Before connecting the pump tubing to your IV catheter, check all
tubing for air bubbles. Remove any air bubbles as instructed by
your healthcare provider. Air bubbles in the tubing can cause an
air embolism.
• Do not prime the tubing set with the tubing connected to your
IV catheter. This can cause over-infusion of medication or an
air embolism.
• Operate or store the pump only in temperatures between 59° and
113° F, and at a humidity level no higher than 85%.
• Do not use the pump in the presence of flammable anesthetics or
explosive gases. The pump presents a possible explosion hazard if
used in the presence of such materials.

!CAUTION
• Do not use the pump if you think it might be damaged or is not
working properly. Turn off the pump power and contact your
healthcare provider immediately. If the pump alarms, follow the
instructions in this booklet or the instructions given to you by
your healthcare provider.
• Do not leave the rechargeable battery empty for more than several
hours. This may damage the battery. Recharge a low or empty
battery as soon as possible by connecting the pump to the wall
charger plugged into a wall outlet or other AC power source.
• Do not store the pump with the rechargeable battery empty. This
may damage the battery. Recharge a low or empty battery as soon
as possible by connecting the pump to the wall charger plugged
into a wall outlet or other AC power source.
• Do not use the pump near high-energy radio-frequency sources,
such as cell phones. Exposure to these sources may trigger false
alarm signals in the pump.
• Do not allow water or other fluids to get inside the pump.
Fluids getting into the pump may damage it. If the pump
gets wet, turn off the pump power and contact your healthcare
provider immediately.
• Do not clean the pump with acetone, other plastic solvents
or abrasive cleaners. These chemicals can damage the
pump’s components.
• Use the pump only as directed by your healthcare provider.
Failure to use the pump according to your healthcare provider’s
instructions may interfere with your treatment.
• Patients using the pump on their own, or individuals responsible
for helping patients to use it, must be instructed in its proper use.
Patients must not use the pump on their own if they have not been
properly instructed.
• This pump has been prescribed for you only, as part of your
treatment. Do not let others use it.
• Federal (USA) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order
of a physician.

About Your BodyGuard 323 Pump
You have been prescribed the BodyGuard 323 ambulatory infusion pump
as part of your treatment. “Infusion” means that the pump delivers
(or “infuses”) medication from a medication bag through a set of
tubing and your IV catheter into your bloodstream.
The healthcare provider can program the BodyGuard 323 pump to
operate in a variety of automatic modes to control how it infuses
medication. Once your pump is started, it may infuse medication
continuously or in a “stop and go” pattern, depending on the treatment
you require. Your healthcare provider will explain your treatment and what
to expect.
If your pump is programmed to infuse Patient Controlled Analgesia
(PCA), you may be permitted to give yourself additional bolus doses
of medication when needed for pain relief. Your healthcare provider will
explain how to do this.

WARNING
Before starting medication infusion, check the tubing for a pinched or
twisted tube, a closed clamp or other occlusions (blockages) and for
any air bubbles. Correct any occlusion and remove any air bubble as
instructed by your healthcare provider. An uncorrected occlusion of the
tubing can cause under- or non-delivery of medication that may result in
death or serious injury. Air bubbles in the tubing can cause an air
embolism that may result in death or serious injury.

Recharging the Battery
When to Recharge
Your healthcare provider will explain if your pump uses a rechargeable
battery. Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions for checking the
battery level and recharging the battery.
The battery does not need to be empty to recharge. The battery will
charge while the pump is operating, and even when it is not operating,
as long as the pump is connected to the wall charger and the charger is
connected to a wall outlet or other AC power source. That means the
battery can recharge while you are sitting or resting.
CAUTION
Do not leave the rechargeable battery empty for more than several
hours. This may damage the battery. Recharge a low or empty
battery as soon as possible by connecting the pump to the wall charger
plugged into a wall outlet or other AC power source.

minutes before total loss of power. The audio alarm beeps every minute

pump screen alternates between the Low Battery display and the Rate
display. If this alarm occurs, follow the below instructions to recharge
the battery.
