Introduction
This document provides directions for use for the Alaris® SE pump, Models 7131 and 7231.
The pump is intended for use in professional healthcare environments, including healthcare facilities, home care, and medical transport, that utilise infusion pumps for the delivery of fluids, medications, blood, and blood products. It is indicated for continuous or intermittent delivery through clinically acceptable routes of administration; such as, intravenous (IV), intra-arterial
(IA), subcutaneous, epidural, enteral, and irrigation of fluid spaces.
The Pump is available as either a single or a dual channel pump. The Alaris® SE Dual Channel Pump is a two-channel pump intended to deliver multiple infusions to a single patient.
A dual rate feature allows the pumps to administer both primary and secondary solutions at separate flow rates and volumes.
Using this feature, the clinician can select and start a program for secondary (piggyback) medication. Upon completion of the secondary dose, the pump will automatically switch over to a primary rate. Both channels of the two channel pump can be programmed for primary and secondary operation.
The panel lock feature helps prevent tampering. A panel lock symbol is shown in the lower display when the panel lock is on, and no changes can be made from the front panel. The panel lock key is readily accessible yet not obvious to unauthorized users.
Optional modes are easily accessed with the press of one key.
The Dose Rate Calculator allows the clinician to calculate a volumetric or dose rate for continuous infusion.
The Multi-Step program allows a sequential program to deliver up to nine steps. Fluid volumes and delivery rates may be programmed for each step. The program may be entered based on Rate and Volume or Volume and Time.
The Multi-Dose program allows the clinician to preprogram multiple infusions over a period of up to 24 hours. The fluid volume and delivery rate is repeated for each delivery. A delayed start feature may be programmed.
The Loading Dose feature allows the clinician to set up an initial infusion rate for a specific volume, automatically followed by a maintenance rate from the same container.

Operating Precautions
Infusion Sets
• Use only sets dedicated for use with the pump. The use of any other set may cause improper operation, resulting in an inaccurate fluid delivery or other potential hazard.
• It is recommended that infusion sets are changed according to the instructions in the 'Changing the Infusion Set' section. Carefully read the Directions For Use supplied with the infusion set prior to use.
• When combining several apparatus and/or instruments with infusion sets and other tubing, for example via a 3-way tap or multiple infusion, the performance of the pump may be affected and should be monitored closely.
• Uncontrolled flow may result if the infusion set is not properly isolated from the patient i.e. closing a tap in the set or activating an in-line clamp / roller clamp.
• The infusion set may be fitted with an in-line clamp, which can be used to occlude tubing in case it is required to stop fluid flow.
• The pump is a positive pressure pump, which should use infusion sets fitted with luer lock fittings or equivalent locking connectors.
• To infuse from a burette, close the roller clamp above the burette and open the clamp on the vent on top of the burette.
• Before operating the pump, verify the infusion set is free from kinks and installed correctly in the pump.
• Discard infusion set if the packaging is not intact or the protector cap is detached. Ensure sets are not kinked as this may occlude the tubing.
Using Collapsible bags, Glass Bottles and Semi Rigid containers
• It is recommended that the air vent be opened on the infusion set if using glass bottles or semirigid containers, to reduce the partial vacuum formed as the fluid is infused from the container.
This action will ensure the pump can maintain volumetric accuracy whilst the container empties.
The action of opening the air vent for semi-rigid containers should take place after the spiking of the container and priming of the drip chamber.
Steps for Glass Bottles and Semi-rigid containers Steps for the Collapsible bags
2.
Spike the container
3.
Fill drip chamber to fill line
4.
Open the air vent to allow pressure equalisation - ready for infusion
Follow steps 1 to 3 as shown for the semi-rigid containers, however do not open vent as in step 4, but prime the set as per step 5. Ensure the bag outlet is fully pierced before filling the drip chamber.
1.
Close the roller clamp
5.
Prime the set by opening / closing the roller clamp
Operating Environment
• When using any infusion pump in conjunction with other pumps or devices requiring vascular access, extra care is advised. Adverse delivery of medication or fluids can be caused by the substantial variation in pressures created within the fluid channels of such pumps. Typical examples of those pumps are used during dialysis, bypass or cardiac assist applications.
• The pump is suitable for use in all establishments, including domestic establishments and those directly connected to the public low voltage power supply network that supplies buildings used for domestic purposes.
• This pump is not intended to be used in the presence of a flammable anaesthetic mixture with air or oxygen or nitrous oxide.
• Do not use the pump in a hyperbaric chamber.
• Do not use the pump near Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) including Stereotaxis technology .

Operating Precautions (continued)
Operating Pressure
• The pumping pressure alarm system is not designed to provide protection against, or detection of, extravasation or tissuing complications which can occur.
• The pump is designed to stop fluid flow under alarm conditions. Periodic patient monitoring must be performed to ensure the infusion is proceeding as expected. It is a positive displacement delivery system, capable of developing positive fluid pressures to overcome widely varying resistances to flow encountered in practice, including resistances to flow imposed by small gauge catheters, filters and intra-arterial infusion.
It is neither designed nor intended to detect infiltrations and will not alarm under infiltration conditions.
Alarm Conditions
• Several alarm conditions detected by this pump will stop the infusion and generate visual and audible alarms. Users must perform regular checks to ensure that the infusion is progressing correctly and no alarms are operating.
Electromagnetic Compatibility and Interference
• This pump is protected against the effects of external interference, including high energy radio frequency emissions, magnetic fields and electrostatic discharge (for example, as generated by electrosurgical and cauterising equipment, large motors, portable radios, cellular telephones etc.) and is designed to remain safe when unreasonable levels of interference are encountered.
• In some circumstances the pump may be affected by an electrostatic discharge through air at levels close to or above 15kv; or by radio frequency radiation close to or above 10v/m. If the pump is affected by this external interference the pump will remain in a safe mode; the pump will duly stop the infusion and alert the user by generating a combination of visual and audible alarms. Should any encountered alarm condition persist even after user intervention, it is recommended to replace that particular pump and quarantine the pump for the attention of appropriately trained technical personnel.
• This pump is a CISPR 11 Group 1 Class A device when the model 180 (Flow Sensor) is used and a
CISPR 11 Group 1 Class B device without the use of the model 180 (Flow Sensor). The pump uses
RF energy only for its internal function in the normal product offering. In a domestic environment, this system may cause radio interference. Reorienting, relocating or shielding the system, or filtering the connection to the public mains network, are examples of steps that can be taken to reduce or eliminate interference. However, this pump emits a certain level of electromagnetic radiation which is within the levels specified by IEC/EN60601-2-24 and IEC/EN60601-1-2. If the pump interacts with other equipment, measures should be taken to minimise the effects, for instance by repositioning or relocation.
• Therapeutic Radiation Equipment: Do not use the pump in the vicinity of any Therapeutic Radiation
Equipment. Levels of radiation generated by the radiation therapy equipment such as Linear Accelerator, may severely affect functioning of the pump. Please consult manufacturer’s recommendations for safe distance and other precautionary requirements. For further information, please contact your local
CareFusion representative.
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): The pump contains ferromagnetic materials which are susceptible to interference with magnetic field generated by the MRI devices. Therefore, the pump is not considered an MRI compatible pump as such. If use of the pump within an MRI environment is unavoidable, then
CareFusion highly recommends securing the pump at a safe distance from the magnetic field outside the identified ‘Controlled Access Area’ in order to evade any magnetic interference to the pump; or MRI image distortion. This safe distance should be established in accordance with the manufacturers’ recommendations regarding electromagnetic interference (EMI). For further information, please refer to the product technical service manual (TSM). Alternatively, contact your local CareFusion representative for further guidance.
• Accessories: Do not use any non-recommended accessory with the pump. The pump is tested and compliant with the relevant EMC claims only with the recommended accessories. Use of any accessory, transducer or cable other than those specified by CareFusion may result in increased emissions or decreased pump immunity.
Earth Conductor
1000DF00483 Issue 2 8/46
Operating Precautions (continued)
d
• The pump is a Class I device, therefore must be earthed when connected to an AC power supply.
• This pump also has an internal power source.
• When connected to an external power source, a three-wire (Live, Neutral, Earth) supply must be used. If the integrity of the external protective conductor on the AC power cable has been compromised, the pump should be disconnected from the AC power source and operated utilising the internal battery.
Hazards
B • An explosion hazard exists if the pump is used in the presence of flammable anaesthetics.
Exercise care to locate the pump away from any such hazardous sources. m • Dangerous Voltage: An electrical shock hazard exists if the pump’s casing is opened or removed.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
• If this pump is dropped, subjected to excessive moisture, fluid spillage, humidity or high temperature, or otherwise suspected to have been damaged, remove it from service for inspection by a qualified service engineer. When transporting or storing the pump, use original packaging where possible, and adhere to temperature, humidity and pressure ranges stated in the
Specifications section and on the outer packaging.
• If this pump behaves abnormally, remove from service and contact a qualified service engineer.
Epidural Administration
• Epidural administration of drugs other than those indicated for epidural use could result in serious injury to the patient.
• It is strongly recommended that the source container, infusion set, and Pump used for epidural drug delivery be clearly differentiated from those used for other types of administration.
• The Pump can be used for epidural administration of anaesthetic and analgesic drugs.
This application is only appropriate when using anaesthetics and analgesics labelled for continuous epidural administration and catheters intended specifically for epidural use. Use only sets dedicated for use with the Pump, without a ‘Y’ connector or injection port, for epidural infusions
• Epidural administration of anaesthetic drugs: Use indwelling catheters specifically indicated for short-term (96 hours or less) anaesthetic epidural drug delivery.
• Epidural administration of analgesic drugs: Use indwelling catheters specifically indicated for either short-term or long-term analgesic epidural drug delivery.

WARNING:
• Secondary applications require the use of a check valve set on the primary infusion set.
• Secondary infusion applications using a check valve set must have a VTBI setting equal to the volume in the secondary container; this will require consideration of such variables as factory overfill, medication additions, etc.
• Underestimating the volume will cause remaining secondary solution to be infused at the primary rate; overestimating will result in primary solution being infused at the secondary rate.
When using a flow sensor it must be on the primary infusion set. Correct placement of a flow sensor is essential for proper operation.

Monitoring Options
All features and options in this section are shown enabled. Options are enabled through the hospital data set profile configuration settings, or through the pump configuration settings if the Profiles feature is not enabled (OFF).
The Dynamic Monitoring System provides the ability to monitor downstream pressure or resistance, allowing rapid detection of full and partial occlusions. Resistance monitoring eliminates the impact of patient elevation and flow rate to provide the most direct assessment of patency. Components of this system are:
• Monitoring Options: to select IV infusion set/site monitoring modes of resistance, high resistance, and adjustable or fixed pressure.
• Auto Restart Plus Feature: allows pump to automatically resume operation when specific pump operating conditions are met.
• Adjustable Resistance Alert: to provide an early warning of increases in downstream flow resistance.
• Adjustable Pressure Alarm: to provide an early warning of increases in downstream pressure.
• Trend Graph: to display downstream pressure or flow resistance over time.
• Pressure Baseline: to provide a starting point from which to measure changes in system pressure.
Infusion sets, catheters, and applications create various levels of resistance to flow. Monitoring mode options are available to meet each clinical need.
• Resistance: designed to monitor IV infusion set/site resistance providing optimum sensitivity for most IV applications.
• High Resistance: designed to monitor IV infusion set/site resistance with optimum sensitivity where higher resistance catheters are used.
• Adjustable Pressure: designed to monitor IV infusion set/site pressure and provide user-adjustable pressure alarm limits.
Used for Precision Flow mode or for high resistance systems; such as, infusion through transducers, into dialysis systems and through highest resistance catheters.
• Pressure: designed to monitor IV infusion set/site pressure and alarm based on a fixed pressure limit.
A Precision Flow: in fixed and adjustable pressure modes, the Pump provides enhanced flow continuity at rates below 50 ml/h.
Selecting Monitoring Option
For dual channel pumps, select the desired channel as necessary. The bar graph and numeric displays are not available when the split screen is displayed.
1. Press OPTIONS key.
2. Press Monitoring Options soft key.
3. Press soft key for Resistance, High Resistance or Adjustable Pressure.
4. Press ok soft key. Display automatically returns to normal operating screen.
• If Resistance option is selected, % Resistance displays below bar graph while infusing.
• If High Resistance option is selected, % Hi Resist. displays below bar graph while infusing.
• If Adjustable Pressure option is selected, pressure system accuracy can be enhanced by ensuring no occlusion or other pressure source exists in infusion set when activating RUN/HOLD.
A • Each time the pump is turned on, verify and/or set the monitoring mode. If the monitoring mode, resistance alert and/or pressure alarm limit are not verified, the pump may not be operating with the desired occlusion detection parameter(s).
• High Resistance and Resistance alert limit may be adjusted using the soft keys located below the arrow symbols.
• Pressure alarm limits may be adjusted when operating in Adjustable Pressure mode using the soft keys located below the arrow symbols.
• Maximum pressure limit settings may be configured by qualified service personnel.

Monitoring Options (continued)
Auto Restart Plus Feature
The Auto Restart Plus feature provides the ability to automatically continue an infusion if downstream resistance or pressure measurements indicate that an occlusion condition has cleared within a 40-second Checking Line period (excluding High
Resistance Monitoring mode).
The Checking Line message and tone are presented when a resistance measurement exceeds the alarm threshold of 100%.
If resistance measurements initiate the Checking Line condition, the channel continues infusing in order to determine if the measured flow resistance has changed. If the measured flow resistance falls to any value below 100% within 40 seconds, the channel automatically resumes normal operating conditions (excluding High Resistance Monitoring mode).
Pressure measurements initiate the Checking Line period when the pressure exceeds the configured limit. If the pressure falls to less than one-third of the configured limit within 40 seconds, normal flow resumes. If the condition is not cleared, the
OCCLUSION DOWNSTREAM alarm occurs and infusion stops until manually restarted.
This feature can be configured through the hospital data set to allow from 1 to 9 Checking Line restarts. After the programmed number of restarts has occurred or the 40-second Checking Line period has been exceeded, the channel immediately alarms
OCCLUSION DOWNSTREAM when resistance or pressure conditions indicate an occlusion.
A • An OCCLUSION DOWNSTREAM condition is detected when the measured resistance reaches 100% of scale. For the Resistance mode, 100% results from a resistance producing 2 mmHg per ml/h of flow. For the High Resistance mode, 100% results from a resistance producing 6 mmHg per ml/h flow.
• An OCCLUSION DOWNSTREAM condition is also detected when the configured pressure limit is exceeded. This limit may be set, by qualified service personnel, from 1 mmHg to 600 mmHg
(Pressure Limit, Maximum).
Resistance Alert
The Resistance Alert provides an early warning of increasing flow resistance. The Resistance Alert marker can be set from 0% to
100% of scale in 5% increments. This feature can be enabled or disabled and a power-on default alert level is set through the hospital data set.
To optimize the alert feature, it is advisable to set the alert level 20-30% higher than the initial displayed resistance. Read the resistance approximately 2 minutes after starting an infusion.
Setting Alert Marker
• To numerically display present alert level marker, press either or soft key. Vertical line on resistance bar graph visually indicates alert level.
• Each additional press of either arrow soft key increases or decreases alert level marker and numeric value by 5%.
Resistance Trend Graphs
In Resistance and High Resistance monitoring modes, a trend graph displays flow resistance over time. Trend graphs of 15 minutes,
1 hour, 4 hours and 12 hours are available during normal operation when enabled through the hospital data set.
Downstream Occlusions are indicated by a tick mark (y) at the top of the trend screen.
For dual channel pumps, select the desired channel, as necessary. The trend graph is not available while the split screen is displayed.
1. Press OPTIONS key.
2. Press Resistance Trend soft key.
3. To change graph time frame, press time soft key.

Adjustable Pressure Alarm
In the Adjustable Pressure monitoring mode, the pressure alarm limit may be varied from 25 mmHg to the maximum configured pressure limit, in 25 mmHg increments. A default alarm level and a maximum pressure limit are set through the hospital data set profile configuration settings or through the pump confirmation settings if the Profiles feature is not enabled (OFF).
Pressing either arrow ( or ) soft key changes alarm limit by 25 mmHg in corresponding direction. It is advisable to select an alarm limit appropriate for flow rate. At lower flow rates, alarm limit should be set lower, to shorten time to alarm.
Pressure Monitoring Using Automatic Baseline Calibration
The auto pressure baseline calibration remains in effect until the pump is turned off, the latch is opened, the set is reloaded, or the Set Pressure Baseline function is performed.
A • First activation of RUN/HOLD for a new infusion automatically establishes a pressure baseline based on current system pressure. An optimal baseline is maintained upon subsequent activations of RUN/HOLD, as follows:
• If current system pressure is same or higher than original baseline, pressure baseline does not change.
• If current system pressure is less than original baseline, system automatically resets to new system pressure value.
• Pressure measurement can be optimised, particularly at low flow rates (less than 3 ml/h), by pausing and restarting at least once every 2 hours. This allows pressure baseline to calibrate based on current system pressure.
• Prior to activation, ensure that pressure has not built up in infusion set due to either occlusion or flow from other pumps through a common catheter. This will result in a more accurate pressure measurement.
• When loading a set connected to a small diameter catheter, wait at least 5 seconds after loading set before activating RUN/HOLD. This allows pressure generated by loading process to dissipate and sensor to stabilise. (Very small PICC catheters; such as, 28 gauge/1.2 French, may require 60 seconds or more for stabilisation.)
• When multiple pumps are infusing through a common small diameter catheter, pressure measurement accuracy can be optimised by temporarily stopping all infusions, then restarting all pumps beginning with pump delivering at lowest rate.

Pressure Baseline
The Pressure Baseline feature, when enabled through the hospital data set profile configuration settings, provides a real-time bar graph and numeric display of line pressure.
The pressure limit may be reduced if the pressure in the set is high or changing. This results in the pressure limit being lowered from the selected setting. If this occurs, first try to remove or reduce the downstream pressure. Following that, try to reload the set, wait 15 to 30 seconds and then perform a Set Pressure Baseline operation. The pressure baseline may need to be set a second time, after the pressure readings have stabilized.
For dual channel pumps, select the desired channel as necessary. The pressure bar graph is not shown when the split screen display is active.
For optimal results, set the baseline 15 minutes after starting an infusion. The pressure baseline can be optimised, particularly at low flow rates (less than 3 ml/h), by resetting the pressure baseline when the readings are negative. Check periodically for negative readings; for example, when programming VTBI. This allows the pressure baseline to calibrate based on current system pressure.
1. To place channel on hold, press channel’s RUN/HOLD key. (All infusions connected to channel being baselined must be on hold.)
2. Press OPTIONS key.
3. Press Set Pressure Baseline soft key.
4. Verify no pressure, due to occlusion or other infusions through a common set, is present in infusion set at this time.
5. For best results, verify set outlet (for example, stopcock) is located at patient’s heart level before continuing with next step.
6. Press ok soft key.
7. Verify pressure readout is 0 (zero) mmHg.
8. To start infusion, press RUN/HOLD key.
A • To return to the normal screen without setting the baseline, press return soft key.
• True baseline pressure will be zero or within a few mmHg of zero. If not, and the pressure is unstable, allow the pressure to drop to the lowest level and then repeat the Set Pressure Baseline process.
• The pressure baseline calibration remains in effect until the pump is turned off, the latch is opened, the set is reloaded, or the set Pressure Baseline function is performed again.
• Setting the manual baseline overrides the auto baseline until the pump is turned off, the latch is opened, set is loaded, or another manual baseline is set.
• Setting a manual Pressure Baseline displays a horizontal real-time bar graph and numeric pressure readings. The vertical line on the pressure bar graph visually indicates the pressure alarm limit.

Flow Sensor Operation (optional)
The optional flow sensor notifies users of empty containers and/or upstream occlusions. A handle cap accessory is available for storing the flow sensor when not in use.
The flow sensor is not used for the first 25 ml delivered when changing from secondary to primary. This is to account for overfill of secondary containers.
If a flow sensor is not connected to the pump, ensure protective plugs are installed at the connector site to prevent entry of foreign material.
1. Plug a Model 180 Flow Sensor into applicable channel connector on back of pump.
2. Attach flow sensor to upper portion of drip chamber.
3. Attach flow sensor to pump handle when not in use.
4. Routinely clean flow sensor with warm water while actuating slider, then dry thoroughly.

A • Infusing fluids which form smaller drops, through a 60 drops/ml set, at high rates may result in a No
Upstream Flow Detected alarm. This is because the small, rapidly falling drops form a continuous stream which does not trigger the flow sensor. In this event, unplug the flow sensor from the pump.
• Do not use solvents or cleaning agents. Damage to plastic parts of the flow sensor could occur.
• When using flow sensor, correct placement is essential for proper operation. Some infusion set drip chambers have a flange at top to which flow sensor can be attached. Attachment on flange ensures proper placement.
• Upper surface of flow sensor should be slightly below drop-forming orifice but above level of fluid in drip chamber.
• Ensure drip chamber is at least 2/3 full and sensor optics are clean. Fluid level in drip chamber must be checked/re–established after each empty container condition
• When using flow sensor option while ambulating or transporting a patient from one area to another, use care to avoid excessive swinging of solution container(s).
• If the flow sensor option is in use, VTBI can be turned off by selecting VTBI, pressing CLEAR and then
ENTER keys or Primary VTBI can be deleted from the primary mode setup page.

Feature Description
Air in Line
Threshold
(microliters)
AIL Accumulator
Sets upper limit for a single bolus of air to pass without alarm. In other words, it is amount of air allowed to pass through air-in-line detector before an air-in-line alarm sounds. One of 4 different air-in-line detection settings can be selected: 50, 100, 200, 500 µl.
Detects presence of multiple air bubbles that are too small to be detected by single bolus AIL detection limit.
Accumulator feature, when enabled, looks for 10-15% of downstream fluid path to be air before giving an
ACCUMULATED AIR IN LINE alarm. Volume of air that trips accumulated air detection alarm varies based on current setting for single air bolus.
AIL Reset Allows clinician to respond to an air-in-line alarm, assess its clinical significance, and choose whether or not to continue infusion without removing air. Reset feature allows only current bubble to proceed without tripping alarm.
Provides an audible tone when secondary VTBI reaches zero, to indicate infusion has transitioned to primary rate.

Name
Allows a 4-digit pump ID label to appear in lower LCD display, identifying patient care profile.
Auto Restart Plus Part of the Dynamic Monitoring system and designed to help minimize nuisance “occlusion downstream” alarms. It allows pump to automatically continue an infusion following detection of a downstream occlusion if downstream pressure falls to an acceptable level within a 40-second Checking Line period. May be set to off (0 restarts) or to allow from 1 – 9 Checking Line restarts. If allowable number of restarts is exceeded, or when resistance or pressure conditions indicate an occlusion, an occlusion downstream alarm occurs.
Monitoring
Options
Provides clinician with ability to adjust audio volume for alarms, alerts and KVO tone to either High, Medium, or
Low if all audio volume levels are enabled. Audio volume indicator in lower LCD display indicates audio volume selected. Pump can be configured to enable only Medium and High, or only High audio volume levels if desired.
Trends
Dynamic monitoring provides clinician ability to select one of following monitoring modes: Resistance mode, High
Resistance mode or Pressure mode. All of these modes offer an optional Auto-Restart Plus feature and optional trend graph display.
Provides ability to display downstream pressure or flow resistance over time. Trend graphs of 15 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours and 12 hours are available during normal operation. When Trends is enabled, if pump is operating in pressure mode, a pressure trend graph is available, and when it is operating in resistance mode, a resistance trend graph is available.

Description
Provides an “Occlusion Downstream” alarm when measured pressure reaches Resistance Pressure limit while operating in Resistance Mode. This threshold may be set from 1 to 600 mmHg in 1 mmHg increments. In other words, while operating in Resistance mode or High Resistance mode, an “Occlusion Downstream” condition can be detected in 2 ways; measured resistance reaches 100% of scale or configured Resistance Pressure Setting is exceeded.
KVO (keep vein open) mode automatically occurs when primary VTBI has counted down to 0.0 ml. Channel switches to preset KVO rate or remains at current rate, whichever is less. KVO rate may be set to a value between 0.1 and 20 ml/h in 0.1 ml/h increments. KVO rate is not adjustable by the clinician.
Allows clinician to deliver a bolus when enabled.
Allows clinician to enter either flow rate or drug dose rate for a continuous infusion. System then calculates alternate parameter based on drug concentration and weight if used. For an intermittent infusion, system calculates total dose based on drug amount and patient weight (kg) or BSA (m2) if used. Next, clinician enters either volume and time to calculate rate, or rate and volume to calculate time.
Dose rate calculator must be enabled in order to access Bolus Dose feature and Drug Library.
Allows clinician to set up an initial infusion rate for a specific volume, to be followed automatically by a maintenance rate (primary settings) from same container. This is useful for delivering fluid challenges. Limits do not apply when using Loading Dose feature. To deliver a loading dose of a medication selected from Drug Library, Bolus Dose feature may be used.
Allows 1 - 24 doses to be programmed at equally spaced intervals on same pump over a 24-hour period. This mode allows delivery of multiple, equal doses from same IV container at regularly scheduled intervals. Limits do not apply when using Multi-Dose feature. Within this mode, a delayed start option allows pump to be programmed to delay infusion start for up to 8 hours.
When enabled, this feature alerts clinician of completion of each dose delivered during a Multi-Dose program.
Allows a sequential drug delivery program (up to 9 steps) to be set delivering volumes of fluid at different rates at each step. This allows pump parameters to be set up once and deliver a step profile, eliminating need to change rate and VTBI after each step of infusion. Infusion may be programmed in rate/volume or volume/time. Limits do not apply when using Multi-Step feature.
When enabled, this feature allows the Panel Lock keypad to be used to lock the main keypad.
Maximum infusion rate may be set to a value from 0.1 to 999.9 ml/h in 0.1 ml/h increments.

INTERVAL
As per Hospital policy.
At least once per year
(Refer to TSM for identification of parts)
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
Thoroughly clean external surfaces of the pump before and after prolonged period of storage.
1. Inspect AC power supply plug and cable for damage.
2. Perform functional tests as outlined in the Technical Service Manual.
3. Operate the pump on battery power until the battery low alarm then charge the battery to confirm battery operation and charging.
A Please refer to Technical Service Manual for calibration procedures. The units of measurement used in the calibration procedure are standard SI (The International System of Units) units.
Battery Operation
The Battery Management System incorporates features which enhance battery maintenance in order to maximize the life of the battery, reduce associated costs and increase pump availability. The system provides:
• Green : lights when pump is plugged in.
• Amber : flashes when pump is operating on battery power.
• Automatic battery power: if pump is unplugged or in the event of a power failure.
• Low battery alert: indicates battery depletion is imminent, beginning at least 30 minutes prior to a Battery Depleted alarm.
Maximum battery capacity, as well as optimal gauge accuracy, is reached after several complete charge/discharge/recharge cycles in the refresh process. It is recommended that the battery be fully charged/discharged/recharged, using the refresh cycle, before placing the pump in use. Reference the Technical Service Manual for detailed information on the refresh cycle.
The battery recharges whenever the pump is plugged into an AC outlet.
The battery can be replaced when charging capacity gets too low.
All batteries gradually lose their capacity to hold a charge over time and use. To maintain optimal battery performance, ensure the pump is connected to AC power whenever possible, including when it is powered off or stored.
Following certain battery depleted conditions it is necessary to reset the internal clock so the CQI Reporter data integrity is maintained.
Test Routines
The test routines are designed to allow confirmation of many of the pump functions, defaults and calibrations without requiring internal inspection. They do not represent a full calibration check.
See the Technical Service Manual for a complete list of the test procedures and calibration procedures.

Trumpet and Start-Up Curves
DESCRIPTION AND EXPLANATION OF TRUMPET AND START-UP CURVES
In this pump, as with all infusion systems, the action of the pumping mechanism and variations in individual administration sets cause short-term fluctuations in rate accuracy. The following graphs show typical performance of the system for both Pressure and Resistance modes in two ways:
• Accuracy during various time periods over which fluid delivery is measured (trumpet curves).
• Delay in onset of fluid flow when infusion commences (start-up curves).
Product operation is not affected by the selection of Resistance or High Resistance at 0.1, 1.0, and 25 ml/h; therefore, High
Resistance graphs are not included.
Trumpet curves are named for their characteristic shape. They display discrete accuracy data averaged over particular time periods or “observation windows”, not continuous data versus operating time. Over long observation windows, short-term fluctuations have little effect on accuracy, as represented by the flat part of the curve. As the observation window is reduced, short-term fluctuations have greater effect, as represented by the “mouth” of the trumpet. Knowledge of system accuracy over vari ous observation windows may be of interest when certain drugs are being administered. Because the clinical impact of short-term fluctuations on rate accuracy depends on the half-life of the drug be ing infused and on the degree of intravascular integration, the clinical effect cannot be determined from the trumpet curves alone. Knowledge of the start-up characteristics should also be considered.
The start-up curves represent continuous flow rate versus operating time for two hours from the start of the infusion. They exhibit the delay in onset of delivery due to mechanical compliance and provide a visual representation of uniformity. Trumpet curves are derived from the second hour of this data.
FLOW CHARACTERISTICS UNDER VARYING DELIVERY CONDITIONS
Effects of Pressure Variations
Under conditions of +100 mmHg pressure, the Pump typically exhibits a long-term accuracy offset of approximately -1.4% from mean values.
Under conditions of +300 mmHg pressure, the Pump typically exhibits a long-term accuracy offset of approximately -1.5% from mean values.
Under conditions of -100 mmHg pressure, the Pump typically exhibits a long-term accuracy offset of approximately -0.8% from mean values.
Resulting trumpet observation points typically track those of accuracy; therefore, no significant change in short–term variations result under these pressure conditions.
Effects of Negative Solution Container Heights
With a negative head height of -0.5 meters, the Pump typically exhibits a long–term accuracy offset of approximately -5.8% from mean values.
Resulting trumpet observation points typically track those of accuracy; therefore, no significant change in short–term variations result under negative head height conditions.
Effects of Rate
For applications where flow uniformity is a concern, use of the Pressure Mode at rates of 1.0 ml/h or above is recommended.
A Tests conducted in accordance with IEC/EN 60601–2–24 , “Particular requirements for safety of infusion pumps and controllers” and AAMI ID26–1998 “Medical electrical equipment - Part 2 : Particular requirements for the safety of infusion pumps and controllers”, using a Model 72003 Administration Set

Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site survey, b should be less than the compliance level in each frequency range. c
Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the following symbol:
Note 1—At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
Note 2—These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects, and people.
Note 3—Compliance levels raised by IEC/EN 60601-2-24.
a The compliance levels in the ISM frequency bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz and in the frequency range 80 MHz to 2.5 GHz are intended to decrease the likelihood that mobile/portable communications equipment could cause interference if it is inadvertently brought into patient areas. For this reason, an additional factor of 10/3 is used in calculating the recommended separation distance for transmitters in these frequency ranges. b Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast, and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the pump is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the pump should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the pump.
c Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 10 V/m.

Note 2—The ISM (Industrial, Scientific, and Medical) bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz are 6.765 MHz to 6.795 MHz; 13.553 MHz to
13.567 MHz; 26.957 MHz to 27.283 MHz; and 40.66 MHz to 40.70 MHz.
Note 3—An additional factor of 10/3 is used in calculating the recommended separation distance for transmitters in the ISM frequency bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz and in the frequency range 80 MHz to 2.5 GHz to decrease the likelihood that mobile/portable communications equipment could cause interference if it is inadvertently brought into patient areas.
Note 4—These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects, and people.
