English to Spanish: Chemoterapy pump instructions
Source text - English Caring for your Walkmed 350
Your doctor ordered part of your chemotherapy to be infused using a pump supplied by Ciscura Infusion Services. Your nurse will program the pump before connecting your chemotherapy.
How should I care for the pump?
• The pump is lightweight and can be worn in a pouch over your shoulder or in a fanny pack around you waist allowing you to carry on with your daily activities. At night you can continue to wear the pouch or place it in the bed beside you.
• The pumps are very durable but should not be dropped or exposed to extremes in temperature. If you drop your pump, notify the on call staff or your doctor’s office.
• The pump is water resistant but not waterproof. You should not get it wet. Place it on a chair beside the tub when bathing. If you accidentally drop the pump in water, remove it quickly, dry it off and call the support line or your nurse.

Experience
Years of experience: 43. Registered at ProZ.com: Dec 2006.
I live in México City and I have been translating since 1981 mainly for international news agencies, where a wide range of topics is a must, from financial to sports. In some cases my responsabilities included editing.
Before translating I finished teacher's training school, where I spent 4 years specializing in elementary schools, and then studied Law, although I did not completed the four year programme.
Currently, I am very interested in photography. I have studied at the Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de Mëxico (ITAM), nowadays in charge of the Kodak educational plan. I just finished the advanced course at the Club Fotográfico de México.
In 2008 I began working for a British firm, Graphic News, which produces a graphics service for news organisations worldwide.
