Cleaning and Disinfecting the Pump

Between use on different patients, the Sapphire™ pump, and all of its components, need to be cleaned and disinfected, per hospital/medical provider protocol for multiple patient use. Cleaning and disinfecting the pump involves wiping it with Dispatch™ (Caltech) ready-to-use towels.

i

For cleaning, one minute waiting time. For disinfecting, ten minute waiting time

Additional Cleaning and Disinfection Agents: • • •

Virex™ II 256. Klor De™ (Chlorine tablets). 70% Isopropyl alcohol.

Cleaning and Disinfection: Safety Precautions

Before and during cleaning, adhere to the following safety guidelines and recommendations: • •

• • • •

Only people who are trained in the maintenance of this type of medical device should clean the infusion pump. Before cleaning/disinfecting the pump, verify that: –– The pump is disconnected from the patient. –– The pump is disconnected from all connections, sets, and accessories. –– The pump is turned off. While cleaning/disinfecting the pump, do not allow fluid to enter the pump housing, speaker holes or battery chamber. Do not steam autoclave, ethylene oxide sterilise or immerse any part of the pump in fluid. Do not use spray or aerosol cleaners. Dispose of all cleaning/disinfectant materials per laws and regulations for infectious waste disposal.

Before using materials other than Dispatch™ (Caltech) ready-to-use towels, Virex™ II 256, Klor De™ (Chlorine tablets) or 70% Isopropyl alcohol, the hospital/ medical provider must have its sterilisation and cleaning protocols approved by Q Core Medical Ltd. or Hospira representatives.

Let the pump dry completely before attaching it to a power supply.

Battery Care

The Sapphire™ pump can operate on battery power, enabling operation of the pump during an electrical power failure, during patient transport or during ambulatory care. The battery charge level icon, at the upper right corner of the Indicators Bar, indicates remaining battery capacity. Check the status of the battery charge level icon regularly: Number of Bars in Icon

Battery operation time is dependent upon the condition of the battery, which varies according to temperature conditions, battery age, frequency of charging, and conditions of storage and use. An alarm is triggered when there are 30 minutes left until battery depletion. This time may depend on the delivery rate, the frequency of pressing keys, and whether the backlight is on. When the Battery Depletion alarm sounds or following long periods of storage, connect the pump to the power supply. Notification messages begin appearing on the Main Display of the pump 2 weeks before battery life expiration. When the battery life expires, the pump allows you to finish the current infusion and then turns off. Make sure to test the batteries at least once a year, and replace the batteries every 2 years or every 500 charging cycles.

Battery Classification The UL 1642 Standard for Lithium batteries classifies the Lithium-Ion battery used in the Sapphire™ pump as follows: • •

Secondary battery (rechargeable). Technician replaceable.

Battery Safety Information When working with the battery, adhere to the safety precautions and recommendations listed below.

! • • • • • •

Battery Safety Guidelines Ensure that only Q Core Medical's rechargeable Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery is used. In case of rust, bad odour, overheating, and/or other irregularities when using the battery pack for the first time, return it to your local representative. Avoid any contact with water. Do not immerse the battery pack in water. Do not open the battery casing. Store batteries in a closed carton. Short term storage temperature should be below 35°C (95°F).

Battery Care Long Term Battery Storage When you store batteries for extended periods of time, ensure the following conditions: • • •

Well-ventilated facility, free of a corrosive gas atmosphere. Low humidity environment. Storage temperature should be between -20º C (-4º F) to +35º C (+95ºF). The recommended temperature is 23º ±3º C (73º ±5º F).

!

Storage at low temperatures may affect initial battery performance. Storage at high temperatures may degrade battery performance.

Charging the Battery Before initial use of the Sapphire™ pump, the battery must be charged for at least 6 hours. The battery must also be charged if it has been disconnected from the pump unit for more than 6 months. While the pump is in storage, recharge the battery at least every 6 months. The pump can operate while it is being charged.

!

When using the pump while connected to the charger, ensure that the pump is attached securely to the charger, the mini-cradle is attached securely to an IV pole, and the power cord is secure, to prevent entanglements that might cause strangulation.

To preserve battery life, connect the pump to the main power supply using the charger whenever possible.

i and stops blinking when the battery is fully charged.

While connected to a power supply and charging, the Charge (yellow) LED blinks, If the pump is turned off, the current time appears on the screen while the pump is charging.

Transport and Storage

The Sapphire™ pump should always be transported in a protective case internally padded with cushioning material. It is best to use the original packaging. During handling and transport, protect the pump and the case from water, excessive humidity, and heat sources. To safeguard the Sapphire™ pump against prolonged exposure to dust and moisture, the pump must be stored in a clean and dry environment. It is recommended that the pump remain plugged in during storage, in order to maintain the battery at full charge. If the pump is disconnected from the power supply, or is in storage without being connected to power for several months, check the battery level, and recharge the battery before using the pump (Charging the Battery on page 4). For any storage period, make sure that the Q Core administration cassette is disconnected from the pump, and that the safety door over the pump mechanism is closed. Specific recommendations for long term storage conditions are listed in the following table. Condition
