INTRODUCTION About the System INTRODUCTION
The Medley™ Medication Safety System is a modular infusion and monitoring system intended for use in today’s growing professional healthcare environment, for use in adult, pediatric and neonatal care. The Medley™ Medication Safety System consists of the Point-of-Care Unit (PCU) (8000 Series), the Guardrails® Safety Software, and up to four detachable modules which provide infusion or monitoring capabilities. The Medley™ PCU controls the Medley™ System and provides a common user interface for programming and monitoring an infusion, which helps to reduce complexity at the point of care. The Medley™ Patient Controlled Analgesia (PCA) Module (Model 8120) is intended for facilities that utilize syringe pumps for the delivery of medications or fluids using continuous or intermittent delivery through clinically acceptable routes of administration; such as, intravenous (IV), subcutaneous or epidural. The Guardrails® Safety Software for the Medley™ System brings a new level of medication error prevention to the point of patient care. The Guardrails® Safety Software features hospital-defined medication dosing guidelines for up to ten patient-specific care areas, referred to as profiles. Each profile contains a specific drug library and channel labels, as well as instrument configurations appropriate for the care area. Optional drug-specific Guardrails® Clinical Advisories provide visual messages. Dosing limits for each drug entry may be either Guardrails® Hard Limits that cannot be overridden during infusion programming, or Guardrails® Soft Limits that can be overridden, based on clinical requirements. A data set is developed and approved through the facility’s own multi-disciplinary team using the Guardrails® Editor, the PC–based authoring tool. A data set is then transferred to the Medley™ System by qualified personnel. The approved data sets are maintained by the Guardrails® Editor for future updates and reference. A data set is required prior to using the Medley™ PCA Module. Information about Guardrails® Alerts that occur during use are stored within the Medley™ PCU, and can be accessed using the Guardrails® Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) Event Tracker and Guardrails® CQI Reporter.
INTRODUCTION 1
About the System (Continued) This document provides directions for use for the Medley™ PCA Module. Read all instructions, for both the Medley™ PCA Module and the Medley™ PCU before using the Medley™ System. The Medley™ PCA Module uses non-dedicated standard or pre-filled, single-use, disposable syringes (with luer-lock connectors) and administration sets with anti-siphon valves, designed for use on syringe-type PCA devices. For specific administration set instructions, refer to the directions for use provided with the set. For set priming and loading instructions, refer to the “Preparing Infusion” section in the “Getting Started” chapter of this document. Contraindications: None known.

Features and Definitions
Auto Pressure Limit Adjustment
When a bolus is delivered, the pressure alarm limits are temporarily raised to the maximum limit.
Auto Syringe Identification
The system automatically detects the syringe size and narrows down the syringe selection list.
Bolus Dose
The Bolus Dose feature enables a clinician to program an additional amount of medication once the PCA infusion has begun. The current PCA infusion will resume following the delivery of a bolus dose.
Dose Request Cord
When attached, the dose request cord allows a patient to selfadminister a PCA dose to be delivered according to programmed PCA parameters. The dose request cord features an indicator light which can be configured to provide feedback to the patient on requested PCA doses. The dose request cord is enabled in PCA only and PCA + Continuous modes.
Drug Event History
Records and displays sequential device events for a typical 12 hours, subject to change upon usage and number of modules.
Event Logging
Event Logging records instrument operations.
Guardrails® Clinical Advisory
A Guardrails® Clinical Advisory is a visual message that appears when a designated drug is selected, to remind a clinician of specific hospital standards of practice when programming an IV medication. A specific clinical advisory can be associated with a selected drug within any of the patient care profiles.
Guardrails® Drug Library
The Guardrails® Drug Library feature is a drug calculation mode available when the Profiles feature is enabled. It provides a hospital-defined list of drugs and concentrations appropriate for use in as many as 10 profiles. Using the Drug Library automates programming steps, including the drug name, drug amount and diluent volume, and activates the hospital-established best-practice Guardrails® Limits. A Guardrails® Safety Software data set is required prior to using the Medley™ PCA Module.

INTRODUCTION
Refer to the “Alarms, Errors, Messages” chapter of this Directions for Use for the definitions of various alerts. Refer to the Medley™ PCU Directions For Use for system features and definitions.
Features and Definitions (Continued) Guardrails® Limit
A Guardrails® Limit is a programming limit or best-practice guideline for programming a dose limit parameter or instrument configuration determined by the hospital/health system and entered into the system’s data set. Dose limits can be defined by the hospital/health system as either “hard” or “soft” limits. • A Guardrails® Hard Limit is a programmed limit that cannot be overridden.
Loading Dose
• A Guardrails® Soft Limit is a programmed limit that can be overridden. The Loading Dose enables a clinician to program a bolus infusion prior to initiation of the PCA infusion. The Loading Dose may be programmed from the Infusion Modes menu or applicable PCA, PCA + Continuous or Continuous Only programming screen prior to the start of a new PCA infusion program.
Lockout Interval
Allows the clinician to program a pre-determined interval of time that must elapse between delivery of PCA doses.
Occlusion Pressure
Downstream occlusion alarm threshold can be set to low, medium, or high.
Operating Modes
The PCA Module has four operating modes available: •

6 INTRODUCTION
GETTING STARTED NOTE: Although the Medley™ Medication Safety System is built and tested to exacting specifications, it is not intended to replace the supervision of IV infusions by medical personnel. The user should become thoroughly familiar with the features and operation of the Medley™ System and exercise vigilance in its utilization.
Only
A WARNING is an alert describing the potential for serious consequences to the patient or user; such as, death, injury or adverse reactions. GETTING STARTED
A CAUTION is an alert to take special care for the safe and effective use of the device. For WARNINGS and CAUTIONS for the The Medley™ Point-ofCare Unit, refer to the The Medley™ Point-of-Care Unit Directions for Use.
Warnings and Cautions WARNING When properly secured/snapped, the bottom latch provides a very secure connection between modules. If not properly latched, a module can be dislodged during operation. WARNING Do not use the Medley™ System in close proximity of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). WARNING This instrument is designed to stop fluid flow under alarm conditions. Periodic patient monitoring must be performed to ensure the infusion is proceeding as expected. WARNING The Guardrails® Safety Software incorporates dosing limits and instrument configuration parameters based on hospital protocol. The software adds a test of reasonableness to drug programming based on the limits defined by the hospital. Qualified personnel must ensure the appropriateness of the drug dosing limits, the compatibility of the drugs, and the performance of each instrument, as part of the overall infusion. Potential hazards include drug interactions, and inappropriate delivery rates and pressure alarms.
GETTING STARTED 7
Warnings and Cautions (Continued) WARNING When loading a data set with the Guardrails® Safety Software, ensure the correct profile (for patient care area) is selected prior to starting an infusion. Failure to use the appropriate profile could cause serious consequences. WARNING The Medley™ PCA Module 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 and filters. It is neither designed nor intended to detect infiltrations and will not alarm under infiltration conditions. WARNING Hospital personnel must ensure the compatibility of the drugs as well as the performance of each channel as part of the overall infusion. Potential hazards include drug interactions, inaccurate delivery rates, inaccurate pressure alarms and nuisance alarms. WARNING Use only standard or pre-filled, single-use, disposable syringes (with luer-lock connectors) and non-dedicated administration sets with anti-siphon valves, designed for use on syringe-type PCA devices. The use of any other syringe or administration set may cause improper instrument operation, resulting in inaccurate fluid delivery, or other potential hazards. For a list of compatible syringes, refer to the “Compatible Syringes” section in the “Maintenance” chapter. For a list of compatible administration sets, refer to the Set Compatibility Card (provided separately and in this Directions for Use). WARNING Before loading or unloading the syringe, always turn off fluid flow to the patient, using the tubing clamp or stopcock. Uncontrolled fluid flow can occur when the administration set is not clamped or turned off, and may cause serious injury or death. WARNING When an occlusion occurs, there is a risk of infusing pressurized buildup of infusates upon correction of the occlusion. To avoid an inadvertent bolus, relieve the pressure before restarting the infusion.
8 GETTING STARTED
Warnings and Cautions (Continued) WARNING When priming: • Ensure patient is not connected. • Ensure air is expelled from line prior to beginning infusion (unexpelled air in line could have serious consequences). Failure to prime correctly can delay infusion delivery and cause the total volume to be infused to read higher than the actual total delivered to the patient. GETTING STARTED
WARNING Ensure the syringe manufacturer and syringe size displayed matches the syringe manufacturer and syringe size installed in the Medley™ PCA Module. Mismatches may cause an underinfusion or over-infusion to the patient that could result in serious injury and/or death. For a list of compatible syringes, refer to the “Compatible Syringes” section in the “Maintenance” chapter. WARNING The use of positive displacement infusion devices ported together with gravity flow infusion systems into a common IV site may impede the flow of common “gravity only” systems, affecting their performance. Hospital personnel must ensure the performance of the common IV site is satisfactory under these circumstances. WARNING Each time the Medley™ System is turned on, verify and/or set the pressure alarm limit. If the pressure alarm limit is not verified, the instrument may not operate within the desired occlusion detection parameter(s). WARNING References in this document to specific drugs and drug doses are for illustration purposes only. Refer to specific drug product labeling for information concerning appropriate administration techniques and dosages.
GETTING STARTED 9
Warnings and Cautions (Continued) WARNING When the Medley™ PCA Module is used with a primary IV line, use of an appropriate Y-set with a backcheck valve is highly recommended. Failure to properly use a Y-set may result in retrograde analgesic flow into the primary line during a partial or complete downstream occlusion. This may subsequently result in an inadvertent bolus to the patient when the occlusion is cleared. Parallel Infusions There are no contraindications regarding the use of the Medley™ System with any other positive displacement infusion device when ported together into a common IV site location.
User Precautions To ensure proper performance of the Medley™ System and to reduce potential injury, observe the following precautions: • Potent analgesic medications are used with this device. Refer to drug package insert for precautions and possible adverse reactions. • Refer to analgesic package enclosure for possible incompatibility with fluid or drug being delivered through the maintenance line. • It is recommended that highly viscous solutions and drugs, colloidal suspensions and emulsions should not be delivered through the inline backcheck valve on the maintenance side of the PCA set. Valve functionality may be compromised by the presence of residue. • Disconnect from main (AC) power when performing maintenance. • Do not open the instrument case. The case should only be opened by qualified service personnel using proper grounding techniques.
10 GETTING STARTED
Warnings and Cautions (Continued) User Precautions (Continued) Epidural Administration
•
Epidural administration of anesthetic drugs: Use indwelling catheters specifically indicated for short-term anesthetic 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 Epidural administration of drugs other than those indicated for epidural use could result in serious injury to the patient.

GETTING STARTED
The Medley™ PCA Module can be used for epidural administration of anesthetic and analgesic drugs. This application is only appropriate when using analgesics and anesthetics labeled for continuous epidural administration and catheters intended specifically for epidural use. Use only standard, single-use, disposable syringes (with luer-lock connectors) and administration sets, designed for use on syringe pumps and without a ‘Y’ connector or injection port, for epidural infusions.
Warnings and Cautions (Continued) User Precautions (Continued) Artifacts It is normal for an infusion device to produce nonhazardous currents when infusing electrolytes. These currents vary proportional to the infusion device flow rate. When the ECG monitoring system is not functioning under optimal conditions, these currents may appear as artifacts, simulating actual ECG readings. To determine if ECG abnormalities are caused by patient condition or the ECG equipment, place the infusion device on hold. If the ECG readings become normal, the ECG equipment requires attention. Proper setup of the ECG equipment should eliminate these artifacts. Reference the appropriate ECG monitoring system documentation for instructions on setup and maintenance.
Radio Frequency Interference Operating the system near equipment which radiates highenergy radio frequencies (electrosurgical/cauterizing equipment, portable radios, cellular telephones, etc.) may cause false alarm conditions. If this happens, reposition the infusion device away from the source of interference or turn off the infusion device and manually regulate the flow with the clamp and/or monitor the vital parameters using an appropriate clinical alternative.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) When using the Medley™ PCA Module in combination with a Medley™ Point-of-Care Unit which is interconnected to hospital data communications equipment and/or nurse call systems (signal input and signal output ports), the external systems must be certified to applicable standards to ensure correct operation and electromagnetic compliance integrity Interconnected data communications systems must be certified to IEC 60950 (data processing equipment) or IEC 60601–1 electromedical equipment. Nurse call systems must be certified to UL 1069 (hospital signaling and nurse call equipment) or comply with the requirements specified in IEC 60601–1. Compliance with the electromagnetic compatibility standard (IEC 60601-1-2) is a function of all interconnected equipment including cabling and, as such, it is the responsibility of the hospital/facility to ensure external equipment complies with the applicable EMC standards. Failure to verify that external equipment meets applicable EMC standards may result in degraded electromagnetic compatibility (refer to “Radio Frequency Interference” warning for additional information)
