OVERVIEW This Information Notice relates to the Alaris™ PK Syringe Pump MK4 (Pump) release. As part of CareFusion process of continuous improvement, a number of components and assemblies for the Pump have been revised to meet the latest regulatory standards. Note: The User Interface and operation is identical to that of the MK3 Pump and the performance remains unaffected. With a revision to the display technology and LED backlighting, the updated module will deliver a slight change in colour appearance and an improved viewing angle.
A
The Pumps can be identified as MK4 version by the MK4 on the label on the rear case, see image right, or by verifying the software version as 3.4.x or above on power up.
The Alaris PK Syringe Pump MK4 software version 3.4.x or above release has alarm changes for 60601 3rd Edition compliance. SCOPE This communication is to identify all the changes for the Alaris PK Syringe Pump MK4 from the information in the Technical Service Manual for the Pump.

Major enhancements include: • Quicker key response driven by a faster microprocessor, twice the speed of MK3 • Smaller Control Board, simplifying assembly • Integrated RS232 and Nurse call functionality • Enhanced cabling and shielding • New enhanced display, improved contrast and viewing angle

ALARM PRESETS
A-One Business Centre Z.A. Vers-La-Pièce n°10 1180 Rolle / Switzerland +41 21 556 30 00 tel +41 21 556 30 99 fax carefusion.com
Pumps with version 3.4.x software have 2 alarm tones to choose from during configuration: • Single tone: Low, medium and high priority alarm tones in accordance with IEC 60601-18: 2012 and IEC 60601-2-24:2012 • Classic tone: Low, medium and high priority alarm tones that sound like the auditory alarms and warnings from software versions prior to 3.4.x Note: The alarm preset default is single tone alarms in accordance with IEC 60601-1-8: 2012 and IEC 60601-2-24:2012. 1. Hold down b and turn the pump on. 2. Enter the access code 418 using the f keys and the NEXT softkey. 3. When the code shows on screen, press OK softkey to confirm. 4. Use the f keys to select alternative alarm tones. 5. When the desired alarm tone has been selected press OK softkey. 6. When all modifications have been carried out press QUIT softkey. 7. Turn the Pump off, returning it to operation as required.
A
All pumps in a single care area should be configured with the same alarm tones to avoid User confusion. The Hospital/Facility is responsible for selecting and configuring the desired alarm scheme. Alaris Gateway Workstation (Workstation) with software versions 1.1.3, 1.1.3 MR, 1.1.5, 1.2 or 1.5 do not support the new Pump low priority visual alarms scheme defined in IEC 60601-1-8: 2012. For Pumps with version 3.4.x software or higher docked into these Workstations there will be a mismatch of alarm priority displayed. As a result, Near End Of Infusion, AC Power Fail, Add Drug Not Complete, and Attention alarms will display as a medium visual priority alarms on the Workstation beacon and a low priority alarm on the Pump. Additionally, for certain information signals, e.g. those associated with Add Drug Not Complete and Titration Not Confirmed, the Workstation beacon will illuminate while the beacon on the pump will not. In the event of an alarm priority mismatch, the User should refer to the alarm on the Pump for the correct priority.
ACTIONS Please note all previously released Alaris PK Syringe Pump versions remain fully supported by CareFusion through the standard life-cycle support timeframe. CareFusion will not be supporting any product upgrade programs.
