Operating Precautions Disposable Syringes and Extension Sets

• Always clamp or otherwise isolate the patient line before unclamping or removing a syringe from the pump. Failure to do so may result in unintended administration.

• This Alaris™ GH Syringe Pump has been calibrated for use with single-use disposable syringes. To ensure

correct and accurate operation, only use 3 piece Luer lock versions of the syringe make specified on the pump or described in this manual. Use of non-specified syringes or extension sets may impair the operation of the pump and the accuracy of the infusion.

• Uncontrolled flow or syphoning may result if the syringe is located incorrectly in the pump, or if it is

removed from the pump before the extension set is properly isolated from the patient. Isolation may include closing a tap in the patient line or activating a flow stop clamp.

• Secure the extension set to the pump using the extension set hook at the rear of the pump. This provides protection against accidental dislodging of the syringe from the pump.

• When combining several apparatus and/or instruments with extension sets and other tubing, for example via a 3-way tap, the performance of the pump may be impacted and should be monitored closely. Mounting the Pump

• When more than one pump is being used on a patient, those containing high risk, critical medications

must be positioned as close to the patient's heart level as possible to avoid the risk of variations in flow or siphoning.

• Raising a Pump whilst infusing may result in a bolus of the infusate, whereas lowering a Pump whilst infusing may result in a delay in the infusion (an underinfusion).

I

• Do not mount the pump in a vertical position with the syringe pointing upwards as this could lead to

an infusion of air which may be in the syringe. To protect against the introduction of air the user should regularly monitor the progress of the infusion, syringe, extension line and patient connections and follow the priming procedure specified herein. 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 local vascular system by such pumps. Typical examples of those pumps are used during dialysis, bypass or cardiac assist applications.

• This pump is suitable for use in Hospital and clinical environments other than domestic establishments

and those directly connected to the public single phase AC mains power supply network that supplies buildings used for domestic purposes. However, it may be used in domestic establishments under the supervision of Medical professionals with additional necessary appropriate measures. (Consult Technical Service Manual, appropriately trained technical personnel or CareFusion for further information).

• This pump is not intended to be used in the presence of a flammable anaesthetic mixture with air or oxygen or nitrous oxide.

Operating Pressure

• This is a positive pressure pump designed to achieve very accurate fluid administration by automatically compensating for resistance encountered in the infusion system.

• The pumping pressure alarm system is not designed to provide protection against, or detection of, IV complications which can occur.

Alarm Conditions

J

• 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. 1000DF00328 Issue 6

Operating Precautions (continued) Electromagnetic Compatibility and Interference

M

• 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.

• 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.

• This pump is a CISPR 11 Group 1 Class A device and uses RF energy only for its internal function in the normal

product offering. Therefore, its RF emissions are very low and are not likely to cause any interference with the nearby electronic equipment. However, this pump emits a certain level of electromagnetic radiation which is within the levels specified by IEC/EN60601-1-2 and IEC/EN60601-2-24. If the pump interacts with other equipment, measures should be taken to minimise the effects, for instance by repositioning or relocation.

• In some circumstances the pump may be affected by an electrostatic discharge through air at levels close

K

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. (Consult Technical Service Manual for further information). Hazards

• 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.

A

• Dangerous Voltage: An electrical shock hazard exists if the pump’s casing is opened or removed. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

• 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 in the installation or its arrangement is in doubt, the pump should be operated from the battery.

V

• Do not open the RS232/Nurse Call protective covering when not in use. Electrostatic discharge

(ESD) precautions are required when connecting RS232/Nurse Call. Touching the pins of the connectors may result in ESD protection failure. It is recommended that all actions must be taken by appropriately trained personnel.

• If this pump is dropped, subjected to excessive moisture, fluid spillage, humidity or high temperature, or

L

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.

Getting Started (continued)

w

Do not mount the pump with the AC power inlet or the syringe pointing upwards. This could affect the electrical safety in the event of a fluid spill or lead to the infusion of air which may be in the syringe.

Pole Clamp Installation The pole clamp is fitted to the rear of the pump and will provide secure fixing to vertical I.V. poles of a diameter between 15 and 40 mm. 1.

Pull the folded pole clamp towards you and unscrew the clamp to leave enough room for the size of the pole.

2.

Place pump around pole and tighten screw until the clamp is secured to the pole.

w

Recessed area

Ensure the pole clamp is folded away and stored within the recessed area at the rear of the pump before connecting to a Docking Station/ Workstation* or when not in use. Never mount the pump such that the IV infusion stand becomes top heavy or unstable.

w

Prior to each use, check the pole clamp: • does not show any signs of excessive wear, • does not show any signs of excessively loose movement in the extended, mountable position. If these signs are observed, the pumps should be taken out of service for examination by qualified service personnel.

Docking Station/Workstation* or Equipment Rail Installation Rectangular bar

Release lever (push to release) Rotating cam

The rotating cam can be fitted to the rectangular bar on the Docking Station/Workstation* or the equipment rail measuring 10 by 25 mm. 1.

Syringe Loading Prepare Syringe and Administration Set To decrease potential start-up delays, delivery inaccuracies and delayed generation of occlusion alarms each time a new syringe is loaded: • Use smallest syringe size possible, for example, if infusing 9 ml of fluid, use a 10 ml syringe. • Use the PURGE SYRINGE or PURGE option on the Pump to decrease the delay in the start of the infusion , see Starting the Pump section.

w

Warning: Use the smallest compatible syringe size necessary to deliver the fluid or medication; this is especially important when infusing high risk or life-sustaining medications at low infusion rates, especially flow rates < 0.5 ml/h.

w

Warning: Purge the Pump system before starting an infusion or after replacing a near-empty syringe with a replacement syringe. When Purging ensure that the extension set is not connected to the patient.

Practice Recommendations • Tubing internal diameter: Smallbore or microbore tubing is recommended when infusing at low rates • Filters: Internal volume, dead space, of in-line filters should be minimized • Connection sites: Critical drugs should be connected as close to the vascular access site as possible

Positioning of Pump

Ensure that the Pump is as close to level of patient’s heart as possible. Patient’s heart level should be in line with the middle of the Pump.

w w w

Warning: Adjusting the Pump's height relative to the patient's heart level can lead to temporary increases or decreases in fluid delivery. Caution: If using multiple syringe pumps and it is not clinically feasible to have all Pumps level with the patient’s heart, place the high risk or life-sustaining medications as close to the patient’s heart level as possible. Caution: When infusing multiple high risk or life-sustaining medications, consider placing the Pumps infusing at the lowest rates as close to the level of the patient’s heart as possible.

1000DF00328 Issue 6

Syringe Loading (continued) Loading and Confirming a Syringe

w

Warning: To securely load and confirm a syringe carefully follow the steps below. An incorrect loading of a syringe may result in misidentification of the syringe type and size. If then confirmed, this may lead to significant inaccuracy of the infusion rate and may also affect pump performance. Only use a syringe of the type stated on the pump or in this manual. Using an incorrect syringe could adversely affect the accuracy of the infusion rate and may also affect pump performance. When drawing fluid into the syringe, draw enough to compensate for any 'dead space' volume in the extension set and syringe at the end of infusion as this cannot be fully infused.

Description and Troubleshooting Guide

DRIVE DISENGAGED

The drive system has been disengaged during operation. Check the finger grips and the position of the syringe.

OCCLUSION

Excessive pressure measured at the syringe plunger exceeding the alarm limit. Identify and remove the cause of the blockage in the drive, syringe, or administration system before restarting the infusion.

CHECK SYRINGE

Incorrect size of syringe has been fitted, the syringe has not been positioned correctly or has been disturbed during operation. Check the syringe location and the position. A CHECK SYRINGE alarm may indicate the incorrect size of syringe has been fitted; the syringe has not been positioned correctly, or has been disturbed during operation, for example, the user opens the syringe clamp, or If the syringe plunger loses contact with the plunger button.

If there is no identifiable cause for the CHECK SYRINGE alarm(s) then the pump should be removed from clinical use and examined by Qualified Service Personnel in accordance with the Alaris Syringe Pump Technical Service Manual.

BATTERY LOW

BATTERY EMPTY NEAR END OF INFUSION

Battery charge low with 30 minutes operation remaining. Battery indicator will flash and after 30 minutes a continuous audible alarm will indicate that the battery is exhausted. Reconnect to the AC power supply to continue operation and charge the internal battery. The internal battery is exhausted. Connect the pump to the AC power supply. The pump is nearing the end of the infusion.This value can be configured.

END OF INFUSION

The pump has reached the end of the infusion. A pre-set volume will remain in the syringe to minimise the risk of the infusion of air bubbles into the set. This value can be configured.

TITRATION NOT CONFIRMED

The infusion rate has been changed, but has not been confirmed and 2 minutes* has expired without any operation. Press the c button to silence the alarm, then press the CANCEL softkey to clear this message and silence the alarm. Check infusion rate and confirm by pressing the b button or press the h button to revert to the previous rate. Press the b button to start infusion. (This alarm only occurs if rate titration is enabled).

VTBI DONE

The pre-set Volume To Be Infused is complete.

AC POWER FAIL

AC Power has been disconnected and the pump is operating on battery power, if this occurs when the pump is infusing the message "INFUSION CONTINUES" will be displayed. Reconnect AC power supply or press the c button to silence the alarm and continue with battery operation. The alarm will automatically cancel if the AC power supply is reconnected.

Error Code and Message
