o o o
Carefully read and follow accompanying set instructions for priming the set and the recommended set change interval. The syringe and administration set should be disposed of in an appropriate manner, considering the nature of the residual fluid that may be contained within and in accordance with the hospital/homecare provider’s disposal practices. Drugs for infusion to be used with the pump may only be prescribed by a qualified medical practitioner. Caution must be exercised in the selection of drugs and the amount and rate intended to be delivered via any infusion pump. If the drug contained in the syringe will be exposed to extreme environmental conditions for prolonged time periods, it is important to select drugs that will not change pharmacologically upon such exposure. As with all automatic infusion devices, whenever a toxic or dangerous level of drug is stored in the reservoir, constant/frequent monitoring of the infusion is required. In all applications, time to alarm under occlusion or other fault conditions will depend on the infusion rate and levels of alarm settings. It is recommended to consider these parameters when using drugs requiring infusion stability or low flow rates and therefore a quick time to alarm.

SECTION 2: DISPOSABLES AND ACCESSORIES 2.1 Syringe brands and sizes The T34™ syringe pump is programmed to recognize most commonly used syringes from 2 mL to 50 mL. Luer lock syringes should always be used to ensure secure connection of the infusion set and syringe. For homecare applications it is recommended that all but the brand of syringe in regular use are disabled per the technician menu to prevent accidental selection of the incorrect brand during set up . WARNING: DO NOT USE Slip-tip syringes. Luer Lock syringes must always be used to ensure secure connection of the infusion set and the pump is calibrated to Luer Lock. Failure to do so may result in under or over infusion as the dimension of some manufacturers slip-tip syringes differ from their own Luer Lock variants. It is recommended that all but the brand of syringe in regular use are disabled via the BodyComm™ Communication Software to prevent accidental selection of the incorrect brand during set up. Should the need arise to program the T34™ syringe pump to operate with a manufacturer and/or brand other than one of those listed above you should consult either your local medical engineering department or CME Ltd. Technical Services.

It is possible to disable default syringes from the memory or replace them with one not listed above. This procedure is not detailed in this manual as it should only be undertaken by trained, certified service centres or biomedical engineers. Please consult a biomed engineer or your local T34™ syringe pump distributor should this need arise.
Syringe volumes Due to the physical length of the screw that drives the syringe plunger forward there are limits to the maximum amount that can be delivered from larger syringes and on some smaller syringes there is an undeliverable volume that will be left in the syringe once the actuator has driven to the zero position. NOTE: Braun 2mL, Codan 2.5mL and Monoject 6mL syringes exhibit a slight undeliverable volume of 0.1mL due to their design. The T60 will display the volume as “VOLUME 2.4 (of 2.5mL)”. In this example the pump can only deliver 2.4 of the 2.5mL in the syringe and when the pump has driven as far forward as possible 0.1mL will be left in the syringe. WARNING: Some manufacturers have several brand names within their ranges (e.g. Braun Omnifix and Braun Perfusor). Only use the brands named above with the T60 as failing to do so could result in an under or over infusion.

Features and characteristics Feature Materials Tubing
Slide Clamp Check valve (one-way valve)
Description The administration sets are manufactured using PVC materials that do not contain latex or Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP). Micro-bore: require small priming volumes. Anti-kink: to prevent kinking or occlusion particularly in ambulatory configuration. Various lengths available. Clamps: to prevent fluid flow to patient (optional on some sets). All CME Ltd. syringe extension sets contain a combination check valve to prevent uncontrolled flow of fluid either towards or from the patient. The syringe extension set with pressure activated anti-siphon/anti-reflux valve reduces the potential for gravity flow and backflow (backtracking). The pressure-activated anti-siphon valve requires pressure to open. The pump occlusion pressure setting may require adjustment to prevent occlusion alarms. The combination check valve enhances pump functioning by: Preventing siphoning (free-flow) in the event the set is detached from the pump or mechanical malfunction Preventing reflux (back-flow) in the event several infusion pumps are connected simultaneously to the same patient.
Luer Lock end connector
The administration set is designed to be connected to Luer Lock syringes. Luer Lock syringe allows a needle to be twisted onto the tip and then locked in place. This provides a secure connection and prevents accidental removal.
Color-coded sets
Color coded sets are available as a visual aid to assist users in identifying a drug delivery route: o Clear sets may be used for any drug delivery route o Blue sets normally indicate intravenous drug delivery route o Yellow sets indicate epidural or intrathecal drug delivery route
WARNING: Ensure the administration set is NOT connected to the patient during priming. WARNING: A kinked/occluded infusion line may impair the operation and accuracy of the pump. Before operation, verify that the infusion line is not kinked or occluded. NOTE: Manufacturing data for set durability and accuracy of proprietary sets is up to 72 hours. Follow local guidelines for set use.
Advisory warnings and notes for syringes and administration sets: WARNING: Never prime or purge a set with the extension set attached to the patient. WARNING: Component damage may occur if the set is not correctly attached to the syringe. Assure all connections are secure: DO NOT over-tighten. This will help minimise leaks, disconnection and component damage. WARNING: Disposables (as with any infusion) used with the syringe pump must be compatible with the drug/fluid being delivered. Check with the manufacturer of the disposables before use. Consult the fluid or drug manufacturer’s information for precautions, guidelines, and instructions for preparation and use of disposables. WARNING: Replace the syringe and/or set in accordance with local guidelines. Software Version NCAT / NCATBOL
100-090SM Rev.04

WARNING: Use good aseptic technique when filling the syringe and priming the administration set. Patient infection may result from the use of non-sterile components. Maintain sterility of all disposable components and do not re-use singe use sets. WARNING: Syringes and administration sets should be disposed of in an appropriate manner, considering the nature of the residual fluid that may be contained within, in accordance with the hospital/homecare provider’s disposal practices.
2.3 Battery power supply Battery types and use WARNING: Ensure you use the appropriate batteries for the T34TM Ambulatory Syringe Pump Always use a 9-volt alkaline disposable battery. CME Ltd. recommends to always use a battery carrying the international marking code 6LR61. Batteries from different manufacturers can vary by 2mm in length, and shorter batteries may be at risk of losing connection. Therefore, to minimize the risk of losing battery connection, CME Medical recommends using the Duracell® brand 9-volt (6LR61) battery in your T34TM pump, as this was the battery validated for use with the pump WARNING: Unsafe operation may result from using improper accessories. Use only accessories and options designed for this system and supplied or recommended by the T34™ syringe pump distributor. Batteries marked 6LP3 are not recommended for use with the T34™ syringe pump. 6LP3 batteries can cause issues with the operation of the syringe driver, as the physical construction, and internal resistance of this type of battery, are different to the 6LR61 battery. Issues arising from use of the 6LP3 battery can include End Battery messages during Pre-Load, volume test fails, pressure test/calibration issues and reduced amount of infusions from a battery. WARNING: There is some variation in size between different brands of batteries. Never try to force a battery into the battery compartment as this may damage the battery contacts. Incorrectly aligning the battery contacts will not cause any harm to the battery or the pump. Remove the battery and re-align the contacts.
Battery dimensions and battery fitting Disposable battery dimensions can vary between different brands of batteries (either larger or smaller than the standard size). Some brands of battery will not fit into the battery compartment area as the dimensions are too large and other battery brands may be smaller and appear loose in the battery area, which can result in movement within the battery housing with possible loss of connection/power. If a battery is too large to fit, use a different battery brand. If a battery within the T34™ housing appears loose careful adjustment of the battery connections may be needed to move them back to the correct position. Return the pump to your service department for adjustment of the connections.

Battery compartment connectors in correct position
WARNING: Check that the battery fits securely into the battery housing. Never try to force a battery into the T34TM pump as this may damage the contacts. If you feel the battery is loose, you should not use the pump. If you have concerns about battery fit, arrange for the syringe pump to have a maintenance check by your own maintenance team or your third-party provider.
Battery life Factors that affect battery life include: o Pump settings o Infusion rate o The number of interventions that occur (e.g. stopping/starting infusions, manual movement of actuator and backlight activation) o The number of key presses that occur o Frequency of LED green light flashing o Battery chemical and constructive compositions The pump battery meter displays battery life remaining as a percentage (%) o When the battery power is low a low battery alert will activate o When the battery power is almost depleted, an end of battery alarm will activate o The end of battery alarm will continue until the user presses YES to confirm or the battery power if fully depleted. Refer to alerts, alarms and troubleshooting section for further information.
Indications to change a battery Average battery life is approximately three to five days. Based on five days of normal pump use, for a battery with 100% power, battery power consumption would average 20% per day. Guidance for battery changing may vary for different areas according to local policy and where the pump is to be used and who is managing the pump (healthcare professional or patient as end user). If the pump is being managed in an environment where designated personnel are available at all times to change a battery if necessary, the low battery alert can be used as an indication to change a battery. If the pump is being managed in an environment where designated personnel are unavailable to change a battery if necessary, the following rule applies: To ensure delivery of a 24-hour infusion, ensure that there is a minimum percentage available at the start of the infusion.
Battery fitting and removal Inserting and removing a battery The battery should fit securely to prevent loss of battery to pump electrode contact. WARNING: DO NOT use scissors or metal objects to remove a battery.

Use of pouches for protection of pumps during transportation WARNING: The T34™ syringe pump must always be used in a CME Ltd pouch or similar receptacle if used in direct sunlight. If the pump is exposed to direct sunlight, it may affect functionality.
Using the pump with a CME Ltd. pouch or similar receptacle during transportation or patient ambulation whilst the pump is infusing protects the pump functionality and the medication in the syringe from exposure to direct sunlight. The pouch will also protect the pump from damage or syringe displacement. When using the CME Ltd re-useable (washable) pouch, it is possible to access the screen and keypad of the device during infusion by lifting the velcro flap of the pouch whilst the pump remains in the pouch. When using either a CME Ltd re-useable (washable) or disposable (single patient use) pouch it is possible to remove the forward part of the device during infusion from the pouch to inspect the syringe without removing the rear section of the device. CME Ltd pouches can be carried on the shoulder or around the waist for convenience.

3.5 Event Log What is the event log? The event log shows a complete time and date stamped record of the last 512 pump events along with a record of pump status (volume infused, rate, etc.) at the time of the event. Event log data cannot be deleted or altered and it is not patient specific i.e. the 512 events are likely to span multiple patients treated with that particular pump. Each event is assigned a new number and the pump stores the last 512 in memory. For event s over 512, the pump deletes the oldest event in the log each time a new event occurs. For example, after some time, the first event to appear when you enter the events history may be number 754. This means there have been 754 events in this pumps life and events 242-754 are stored in this history. The pump deletes the oldest event in the log each time a new event occurs. Events recorded include hourly self-testing when an infusion is running and certain key presses. When the pump is infusing, the pump will record pump status every hour irrespective of any key presses. The event log can be viewed via the pump or BodyComm™ Communication Software and a print out of events can be obtained using BodyComm™ Communication Software.
Event Log access and navigation The event log cannot be accessed whilst an infusion is running, if necessary, stop the infusion and remove keypad lock. Press the INFO key: Info Menu
