  • Reason
    This letter provides information about the new iv pole collar accessory for the trima accel system. new trima accel systems will be shipped with an iv pole collar (see figure 1 in the attached fsn). this feature has been added to avoid a pinch point between the iv pole cross bar and the machine while lowering the iv pole. on new machines, the service technicians will attach the iv pole collar to the iv pole during installation. if the operator does not hold onto the iv pole while pressing the iv pole release button, the iv pole may drop in a free fall. if the operator’s hand or any other body part is in the path of the free-falling iv pole, the operator could be injured. because this is an added safety feature, do not remove the collars after they are installed on the iv pole.
