NEVER connect your pump to a public computer. Always use a Trusted Computer.
Use of security features on your Trusted Computer is important. These security features include:
Exercise caution whenever you connect your pump to a Trusted Computer and remain in the presence of the pump at all times while your pump is connected to a Trusted Computer.
Connecting the pump to a Trusted Computer that is attached to other equipment could result in previously unidentified risks to the patient, operator, or a third-party. The user should identify, analyze, evaluate, and control these risks.
Subsequent changes to a Trusted Computer could introduce new risks and require additional analysis. These changes can include but are not limited to changing the configuration of the Trusted Computer, connecting additional items to the Trusted Computer, disconnecting items from the Trusted Computer, and updating or upgrading equipment connected to the Trusted Computer.
