SECTION 2: DISPOSABLES AND ACCESSORIES 2.1 Syringe brands and sizes TM
The T34L-PCA is calibrated to operate with the most commonly used Luer lock syringe brands and programmed to recognise most commonly used syringe sizes ranging from 2 mL to 50/60 mL. 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. TM
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. TM Should the need arise to programme the T34L-PCA 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.

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 TM to their design. The T34L-PCA 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 TM Perfusor). Only use the brands named above with the T34L-PCA as failing to do so could result in an under or over infusion.

2.2 Administration sets Administration sets TM
The T34L-PCA can be operated with any extension set licensed for a range of infusion routes that will connect to a Luer Lock syringe. However, it is recommended, to optimise system accuracy and performance, that proprietary sets from CME Ltd. are used. All CME Ltd. syringe sets have siphon/free flow protection.
Features and characteristics Refer to local policy for the specific brand of administration set and cannula to use with the pump. CME Ltd. administration sets incorporate the following features: o Latex-free o Micro bore anti-kink tubing to prevent occlusion o Colour-coded to aid identification of administration route o Small priming volume Feature Materials Tubing
Slide Clamp
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 tube lengths are available. Clamps are used to prevent fluid flow to patient (optional on some sets).
SW Version PCAEU_010315
Ref.: OPR00087Rev. 00
Antisiphon/Back check valve
Luer Lock end connector
All CME Ltd. syringe extension sets contain a combination anti-siphon and back check valve. 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 siphonage (free-flow) in the event the set is detached from the syringe/pump or mechanical malfunction Preventing reflux (back-flow) in the event several infusion pumps are connected simultaneously to the same patient. The administration set is designed to be connected to Luer Lock syringes only. 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.
Colour-coded sets
Colour 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 Refer to company website for the most current list of codes and prices. 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. 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. 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.

Equipment safety checks In clinical settings handsets/cables over time can be damaged by excessive force. As such handsets, and the attached cables, are part of the system most exposed and susceptible to damage. All CME Ltd. infusion pumps feature software protection to mitigate the impact of bolus handset damage, thereby reducing the incidence of unrequested activation when a handset or cable is damaged. It is good practice to inspect medical equipment and related accessories between patients and certainly immediately before use (e.g. whilst setting it up on the patient). One of the issues with damage to cables or internal electrical components is that visual inspection alone will not always be able to identify this type of failure. Equipment safety checks for healthcare professionals Prior to connecting the remote bolus handset cable to the pump, press the handset button - you should feel a click. If no click is felt when the button is pressed remove the remote bolus handset from use and return it to your medical engineering department or its authorised service provider for inspection. When instructing patients If, during use, the patient experiences or sees any of the following, they should inform their clinician immediately: o They press and release the button to request a bolus (or register an attempted bolus depending on local policy) and feel no click and the pump does not deliver a bolus dose and/or emit a beep. o They hear the pump emitting beeps (indicating bolus delivery or attempt) when they are not holding the handset and/or pressing the button. o They see the handset exposed to anything that may have damaged it (stood on by a relative, trapped in bedframe, cable “tugged” violently, etc.) o They notice any part of the system damaged (e.g. wires exposed, housing cracked, etc.)
3.3 Event log The event log shows a complete time and date stamped record of the last 512 pump events along with a SW Version PCAEU_010315
Ref.: OPR00087Rev. 00
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. Events recorded include hourly self-testing when an infusion is running and key presses. When the pump is infusing, the pump will record pump status every hour irrespective of any key presses. NOTE: 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. The event log can be viewed via the pump or BodyComm™ Communications Software and a print out of events can be obtained using BodyComm™.

3.4 Post Occlusion Bolus Reduction System (POBRS) What is the Post Occlusion Bolus Reduction system? During an occlusion, the pressure in the downstream section of the line and/or inside the syringe can increase above the occlusion pressure defined in pump settings. When the pump alarms the user must check the line and attempt to clear the occlusion. During an occlusion the pump’s Post Occlusion Bolus Reduction System feature will reverse the operation of the motor and drive the actuator backwards otherwise the pressure build up could cause a surge of fluid into the patient’ on release of the occlusion. When the infusion is resumed, the user will notice that the volume to be infused (VTBI) increases and the volume infused (VI) decreases to indicate the pump back off feature and the infusion time remaining increases; this protects the mL/hour infusion rate. Following activation of the POBRS and if the user presses “YES to Resume” the infusion VTBI increases and the VI decreases to indicate the pump back off feature.
Occlusion pressure The occlusion pressure of a pump is the pressure in the system, registered at the pump, when the pump is still operating but cannot sustain the flow rate. The resultant build-up of pressure sets off the occlusion alarm. (Device Bulletin, 2010).
Occlusion and response An occlusion alarm can be activated by: A blockage in the delivery tubing - often inadvertently caused by kinking or leaving a roller clamp or a tap closed. A clotted-off cannula. A partially occluded cannula - if it causes the required driving pressure to rise above the occlusion alarm level. A very long or narrow bore cannula or/with extension line. Occlusion response is characterised in terms of three measurable parameters: 1. Pressure to alarm 2. Time to alarm 3. Bolus release when occlusion is resolved 1. Pressure to alarm If an occlusion occurs the pump attempts to maintain sufficient pressure on the fluid to cause it to flow through all restrictions and overcome any additional resistance. Although fluid is incompressible, the administration set and other components of the system have some ‘give’ (compliance) and the tubing can expand under the increasing pressure. Other components of the system, such as the bung of the syringe, become compressed. This expansion and compression takes some time to occur. 2. Time to alarm If the occlusion is present from the beginning of the infusion, the time to alarm will increase. The pressure in the pumping chamber increases from zero at the start of the infusion up to the alarm level. This is the most likely situation, as leaving clamps closed is the most usual cause of occlusions. If the occlusion occurs after the pump has stabilised at its set flow rate, the alarm time will not be unusually long as the pressure in the pumping chamber increases from the already high running pressure up to the alarm level. For example, a time to alarm with an infusion rate of 1mL/h is 16 minutes 7 seconds (PASA, 2006) SW Version PCAEU_010315
Ref.: OPR00087Rev. 00
Generally, shorter time to occlusion alarm occur with high flow rates, small syringes and good quality syringes. 3. Bolus release In the case of a complete occlusion, there is no flow to the patient whilst pressure in the system is increasing. When the occlusion is released, the build-up of fluid in the tubing can result in a bolus being delivered to the patient.
3.5 Mains power supply and internal battery Mains Power Pump operates on AC (mains) or backup battery power. Connection to wall power is recommended whenever possible.
Battery use When fully charged, batteries can provide up to 100 full deliveries depending on infusion and set up parameters. Battery life may vary depending on settings, infusion rate, and the number of times the information options/screen backlight are used. Using the pump on mains power will extend the battery life. Leaving the battery in an uncharged state for long periods will shorten its life. After the End Battery signal appears, or following long periods of storage, wait two minutes after the pump has been connected to a mains power supply before operating.
Safety checks It is good practice to inspect medical equipment and accessories between patients and certainly immediately before use (e.g. whilst setting it up on the patient). One of the issues with damage to cables or internal electrical components is that visual inspection will not always be able to identify this type of failure.
Battery and charging precautions
Replace the battery once every two years. After the “End Battery” signal has been activated or following long periods of storage, wait 2 minutes after the pump has been connected to an AC power supply before operating. Whenever possible, use the pump connected to an AC power. This preserves the battery power supply for emergency use or for situations where the AC power is not available. The pump is protected against overcharging. In order to keep your battery fully charged connect the pump to mains power whenever possible. Blown fuses could cause a fire hazard. Replace blown fuses on the charger only with fuses of the same type and rating (see fuse values on the charger PCB). Battery charging is enabled as long as the charger cord is connected to the mains and the pump. Switching the pump off does not disconnect it from the mains. To disconnect from the mains, remove the charger cord from the mains.
WARNING: Unsafe operation may result from using improper accessories. Only use accessories designed for the system. Unsafe operation may result from using improper accessories. Use only accessories and options TM designed for this system and supplied or recommended by the T34L-PCA Pain Management Syringe Pump distributor.
Battery level checks When setting up the pump on a patient always check the battery level. To check the battery, follow one of the procedures below: o Press INFO key when the pump is stopped to access the main menu and scroll to select Battery Level, press YES to view battery meter. o During infusion press the INFO key to check Battery Level. Sufficient battery charge may vary depending on your setting, infusion rate, number of times the information options/screen backlight are used.
