Introduction The IVAC® PCAM® Syringe Pump (herein after referred to as "pump") system allows a patient to maintain a consistent level of pain relief by providing self administration of a clinician-prescribed dose of analgesic as and when it is required. When the hand set is operated and the demand is within the parameters set by the clinician, the pump will automatically administer a precise bolus dose of analgesic. For enhanced monitoring and management of post operative acute pain within the hospital, the pump provides convenient Patient Controlled Analgesia (PCA) and detailed information at the bed-side about the patients use of PCA. Central to an effective pain service, the pump promotes improved pain management, more effective use of nursing resources, provides patient comfort and can contribute towards a quicker recovery. Intended Use: The pump is designed to meet the infusion requirements within the operating environment specified in this Directions For Use (DFU) including general wards, critical and intensive care, neonatal, operating rooms and accident and emergency rooms. This pump is suitable for use by appropriately trained clinicians or nurses. The pump is suitable to deliver fluids and medications via intravenous, epidural and subcutaneous routes. Supporting fluid therapy, blood transfusions and parenteral feeding. The pump is compatible with a wide range of standard, single-use, disposable Luer lock syringes. It accepts syringe sizes from 20 ml to 100 ml. See the 'Compatible Syringes' section for a full list of compatible syringes. l

Operating Precautions Disposable Syringes and Extension Sets
m
n G
• This pump has been calibrated for use with single-use disposable syringes. To ensure correct and accurate
operation, only use 3 piece Luer lock versions of the syringe make specified on the pump or described in this manual. Use of non-specified syringes or extension sets may impair the operation of the pump and the accuracy of the infusion.
• Uncontrolled flow or syphoning may result if the syringe is located incorrectly in the pump, or if it is
removed from the pump before the extension set is properly isolated from the patient. Isolation may include closing a tap in the extension set or activating a flow stop clamp.
• When combining several apparatus and/or instruments with extension sets and other tubing, for example via a 3-way tap, the performance of the pump may be impacted and should be monitored closely. Mounting the Pump
• Do not mount the pump in a vertical position with the syringe pointing upwards as this could lead to
an infusion of air which may be in the syringe. To protect against the introduction of air the user should regularly monitor the progress of the infusion, syringe, extension set and patient connections and follow the priming procedure specified herein. Operating Environment
• When using any infusion pump in conjunction with other pumps or devices requiring vascular access,
extra care is advised. Adverse delivery of medication or fluids can be caused by the substantial variation in pressures created within the local vascular system by such pumps. Typical examples of those pumps are used during dialysis, bypass or cardiac assist applications.
• This pump is suitable for use in Hospital and clinical environments other than domestic establishments and those directly connected to the public single phase AC mains power supply network that supplies buildings used for domestic purposes. However, it may be used in domestic establishments under the supervision of Medical professionals with additional necessary appropriate measures. (Consult Technical Service Manual, appropriately trained technical personnel or CareFusion for further information).
• This pump is not intended to be used in the presence of a flammable anaesthetic mixture with air or oxygen or nitrous oxide.
Operating Pressure
• This is a positive pressure pump designed to achieve very accurate fluid administration by automatically compensating for resistance encountered in the infusion system.
• The pumping pressure alarm system is not designed to provide protection against, or detection of, IV complications which can occur.
Alarm Conditions
• Several alarm conditions detected by this pump will stop the infusion and generate visual and audible alarms. Users must perform regular checks to ensure that the infusion is progressing correctly and no alarms are operating.

Operating Precautions (continued) Electromagnetic Compatibility & Interference
M
• This pump is protected against the effects of external interference, including high energy radio frequency
emissions, magnetic fields and electrostatic discharge (for example, as generated by electrosurgical and cauterising equipment, large motors, portable radios, cellular telephones etc.) and is designed to remain safe when unreasonable levels of interference are encountered.
• Therapeutic Radiation Equipment: Do not use the pump in the vicinity of any Therapeutic Radiation
Equipment. Levels of radiation generated by the radiation therapy equipment such as Linear Accelerator, may severely affect functioning of the pump. Please consult manufacturer’s recommendations for safe distance and other precautionary requirements. For further information, please contact your local CareFusion representative.
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): The pump contains ferromagnetic materials which are susceptible
to interference with magnetic field generated by the MRI devices. Therefore, the pump is not considered an MRI compatible pump as such. If use of the pump within an MRI environment is unavoidable, then CareFusion highly recommends securing the pump at a safe distance from the magnetic field outside the identified ‘Controlled Access Area’ in order to evade any magnetic interference to the pump; or MRI image distortion. This safe distance should be established in accordance with the manufacturers’ recommendations regarding electromagnetic interference (EMI). For further information, please refer to the product technical service manual (TSM). Alternatively, contact your local CareFusion representative for further guidance.
• Accessories: Do not use any non-recommended accessory with the pump. The pump is tested and compliant with the relevant EMC claims only with the recommended accessories. Use of any accessory, transducer or cable other than those specified by CareFusion may result in increased emissions or decreased pump immunity.
• This pump is a CISPR 11 Group 1 Class A device and uses RF energy only for its internal function in the normal
product offering. Therefore, its RF emissions are very low and are not likely to cause any interference with the nearby electronic equipment. However, this pump emits a certain level of electromagnetic radiation which is within the levels specified by IEC/EN60601-1-2 and IEC/EN60601-2-24. If the pump interacts with other equipment, measures should be taken to minimise the effects, for instance by repositioning or relocation.
• In some circumstances the pump may be affected by an electrostatic discharge through air at levels close
to or above 15kV; or by radio frequency radiation close to or above 10V/m. If the pump is affected by this external interference the pump will remain in a safe mode; the pump will duly stop the infusion and alert the user by generating a combination of visual and audible alarms. Should any encountered alarm condition persist even after user intervention, it is recommended to replace that particular pump and quarantine the pump for the attention of appropriately trained technical personnel. (Consult Technical Service Manual for further information). Hazards
B A V
• An explosion hazard exists if the pump is used in the presence of flammable anaesthetics. Exercise care to locate the pump away from any such hazardous sources.
• Dangerous Voltage: An electrical shock hazard exists if the pump’s casing is opened or removed. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
• Do not open the RS232 protective covering when not in use. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions are required when connecting RS232. Touching the pins of the connectors may result in ESD protection failure. It is recommended that all actions must be taken by appropriately trained personnel.
• If this pump is dropped, subjected to excessive moisture, fluid spillage, humidity or high temperature, or
otherwise suspected to have been damaged, remove it from service for inspection by a qualified service engineer. When transporting or storing the pump, use original packaging where possible, and adhere to temperature, humidity and pressure ranges stated in the Specifications section and on the outer packaging.
1000DF00451 Issue 2

Getting Started Initial Set-up
A
Before operating the pump read this Directions For Use manual carefully.
1. Check that the pump is complete, undamaged and that the voltage rating specified on the label is compatible with your AC power supply. 2. Items supplied are: l
IVAC® PCAM® Syringe Pump
l
User Support CD (Directions For Use)
l
AC Power Cable (as requested)
l
Protective Packaging
3. Connect the pump to the AC power supply for 24 hours to ensure that the internal battery is fully charged (verify that the S is lit).
A
The pump will automatically operate from its internal battery if the pump is switched on without being connected to the AC power supply. Prior to use on battery power, verify the pump continues to function on battery power once disconnected from the AC power supply. Should the pump fail to perform correctly, replace in its original protective packaging, where possible and contact a qualified service engineer for investigation.
A
Do not mount the pump with the AC power inlet or the syringe pointing upwards. This could affect the electrical safety in the event of a fluid spill or lead to the infusion of air which may be in the syringe.
Pole Clamp Installation The pole clamp is supplied fitted to the rear of the pump and will provide secure fixing to standard I.V. poles of a diameter of up to 40mm. The pole clamp can also be fitted in a choice of 4 fixing positions allowing the pump to be mounted to vertical and horizontal poles, equipment rails and hospital furniture in a variety of convenient operating orientations. The pole clamp may be adjusted for use with horizontal fittings by using the existing fixings screws with the alternative fixing holes in the pole clamp. The pole clamp may also be secured to the base of the pump in a choice of four positions.
Patient Hand Set The patient hand set supplied with the pump is designed to be ambidextrous and suitable for both adult and paediatric use. The hand set provides an indicator light which clearly shows when the pump is available and can be configured to flash when a PCA dose is being delivered. The indicator on the patient hand set will reflect the configuration of the pump and will provide feed-back on all, or just good demands, and the indicator light can be disabled should the clinical situation require. Where appropriate the hand set can be configured so that the patient will not need to refer to the instrument to assess if PCA is being delivered, or is available. The hand set is provided with a clip for attaching it to bedding or clothing. The pump concept is that the patient can be instructed in the use of the hand set as it will carry all the information required by the patient using PCA. This design simplifies patient instruction and encourages a smooth transfer to alternative devices used to treat long term chronic pain, should this be indicated. A latching (but non locking) connector makes the hand set easy to fit. To remove, hold the body of the connector and pull away from the pump. An alarm warning will operate if the hand set is disconnected from the pump while it is in operation or the hand set is connected to the unit with the PCA button depressed. In addition, the pump can be operated in continuous or clinician over-ride modes without the hand set connected, should this be required.

Getting Started (continued) Loading a Syringe
A
Warning: To securely load and confirm a syringe carefully follow the steps below. An incorrect loading of a syringe may result in misidentification of the syringe type and size. If then confirmed, this may lead to significant inaccuracy of the infusion rate and may also affect pump performance. Only use a syringe of the type stated on the pump or in this manual. Using an incorrect syringe could adversely affect the accuracy of the infusion and the performance of the pump. When initially loading the syringe, allow for the volume of fluid contained in the extension set and retained in the syringe at the end of infusion as this “dead-space” will not be infused.
Place the pump on a stable horizontal surface or secure as described above. Prepare, load and prime the single-use disposable syringe and extension set using standard aseptic techniques.
1. Open the cover by turning key in Lock 2.
2. Squeeze the finger grips on the plunger holder and slide the mechanism to the left. Lift the syringe clamp and rotate clockwise.
3. Insert the syringe into the slots on the plunger holder.
4. Squeeze the finger grips on the plunger holder and slide the mechanism to the right until the syringe finger flanges locates in the V slot.
A
Gently advance the syringe until the finger flanges touch the front of the V slot closest to the syringe clamp. This is important to prevent delay at the start of the infusion.
5. Rotate the syringe clamp anticlockwise until it locks onto the syringe barrel to secure the syringe. 6. Check that the syringe plunger and finger flanges are correctly located in their slots.
7. Check that the syringe type and size being used matches display. If required, the make of syringe can be changed by pressing the CHANGE TYPE softkey. Press OK to confirm syringe.
A
To minimise the risk of incorrect confirmation of the syringe type it is recommended that the default syringe type should be locked to only the one brand type used in the hospital where possible.

Teach Learn Mode By programming the configuration of one pump in the conventional way from the front panel buttons other pumps can have the configuration copied over using the “teach” and “learn” modes. When set to “learn” mode the pump will accept information sets from a pre-configured pump set to “teach” mode. When set to “teach” mode the pump sends out via the communications interface a sequence of all the information sets required to configure another pump. To fully configure a pump it is necessary to send 22 complete information sets as described in the protocols and the full cycle takes about 22 seconds. The two pumps must be connected together using an RS232 Demonstration Cable. Both pumps must be of the same version software and revision and set to a common pump comms identification number (see General Options). The configured pump is set to “teach” mode and the pump to be configured is set to” learn” mode using the access codes listed in the Technical Service Manual. The pump in “learn” mode will display PASS or FAIL for each information set being received from the “teach” mode device. The pumps must run through at least one complete sequence of the information sets and then switch off first the “learn” pump and then the “teach” pump. After using this method it is the user’s responsibility to check that the configuration has been copied over correctly. 1000DF00451 Issue 2

Volumes and rates are typically calculated to more decimal places than are displayed. To achieve this, the values are rounded down to prevent the impression of an over-infusion. The doses and dose rates are calculated from the volume of rate that the pump infuses. Thus, when configuring protocols some combinations of drug concentration and PCA dose may result in the displayed rate and the dose rate appearing inconsistent or the displayed dose appearing incorrect. See examples on next page.
1000DF00451 Issue 2
15/34
Basic Features (Continued) Pre-Set PCA Protocols (continued) Example 1. Displayed rate and dose rate appear inconsistent. Dose rate = 30µg/h Drug Concentration = 44µg/ml This would give a rate of 0.68181818ml/h. The pump would round the calculation to two decimal places, giving an actual infusion rate of 0.68ml/h, whilst the screen will display a rate of 0.6ml/h and a dose rate of 29µg/h. Example 2. Displayed dose does not appear correct. PCA Dose = 720µg Drug Concentration = 500µg/ml For each PCA demand the pump would infuse 1.4399ml. For the purpose of the displayed volume, the first PCA demand is counted as 1.43ml (715µg) with the remaining 0.0099ml being carried over into the display of the next demand. The next demand would be displayed (accumulatively) as 2.87ml (1.4399ml + 1.4399ml = 2.8798ml) with the remaining 0.0098ml being carried over into the display of the next demand. For the purpose of the displayed dose, the first PCA demand is calculated as 715µg (drug concentration 500µg/ml multiplied by calculated dose 1.43ml). The next demand would be displayed (accumulatively) as 1.43mg (500µg/ml multiplied by calculated dose 2.87ml = 1435µg = 1.435mg which is rounded down and displayed to two decimal places = 1.43mg). If similar inconsistencies are experienced, contact your local CareFusion representative for clarification.
