REMOVE FROM THE SHIPPING BOX The SIGMA Spectrum has been packaged to provide protection during transportation and storage. Remove the Spectrum from the protective anti-static bag and remove the protecting foam end caps. Discard the desiccant package. The battery tab has been provided to isolate the battery voltage from the pump during transport and distribution. Remove the battery insulating tab prior to charging the pump’s battery or operating the pump. This is accomplished by pulling the tab straight out from the Battery Pack mounting cavity.
Pull the battery tab straight out from the Battery Pack cavity.
> It is suggested that all packaging materials be saved for reuse. This is advised in the event product repair or warranty replacement is necessary. > It is strongly recommended that the pump’s battery be fully charged before depending on the battery as a source of pump power.

KEY OPERATING TIPS 1. FOLLOW ALL PROMPTS. 2. LOAD SETS PROPERLY. To open the pump door, insert the gravity IV set’s slide clamp fully into the keyhole. Load tubing tautly, from top to bottom in loading points 1, 2, 3 and 4, following the red/green prompts. Pus the door closed in the two door hook areas. Open the slide clamp by pulling it straight up, while holding the tubing around it down. 3. USE THE DRUG ERROR PREVENTION SYSTEM. DEP mode protects against human errors that could cause Adverse Drug Events. BASIC mode can not detect human errors. 4. DO NOT DROP THE POWER SUPPLY. The power supply is an electronic device. It is not simply a plug, and it will break if repeatedly dropped. 5. FOLLOW SECONDARY PROCEDURES Use drop hooks to drop primary containers below secondary containers. With secondary rates above 300 mL/hr, look for and clamp off primary line siphoning.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION Intended Device Use The Spectrum, Spectrum with Master Drug Library is intended to be used for the controlled administration of intravenous fluids. These fluids may include pharmaceutical drugs, blood, blood products, antibiotics, nutritional fluids and mixtures of required patient therapy. The intended routes of administration consist of the following clinically acceptable routes: intravenous, arterial, subcutaneous, intrathecal, epidural or irrigation of fluid space. The Spectrum is intended to be used in conjunction with legally marked intravenous administration sets and medications provided by the user. The Spectrum and Spectrum with Master Drug Library is suitable for many user facility applications such as but not limited to hospitals, outpatient care areas, homecare and ambulatory care services. The Spectrum and Spectrum with Master Drug Library is intended to reduce operator interaction through automated programming thereby helping to reduce errors associated with complex device programming. Parameter programming requires trained healthcare professional confirmation of limits and drug therapy to physician’s directive.

These symbols are on the Battery Pack and are used to identify polarity of the battery. This is for reference only.
This is a representation of the Direction of Flow label (not to scale). This label appears behind the door of the pump. It is intended to assist the user in determining the direction of fluid flow from the medication container to the patient. The fluid direction is controlled by the pumping mechanism when the door is closed and the pump is in the infusion mode (running).

IV SETS: select only IV sets made by the manufacturer listed on top of the pump. IV sets must be of standard stiffness and diameter. Performance can not be achieved using stiff, large or small diameter tubing. Contact SIGMA for compatible standard IV set lists and for special SIGMA blood, nitroglycerin and lipid sets. PUMPED-ON TUBING should not be re-loaded into the pumping channel (to avoid nuisance alarms and to maintain flow rate accuracy). PREPARE IV CONTAINERS AND PRIME IV SETS by positioning roller clamps below the pump, positioning slide clamp near the keyhole at the top of the pump, inverting bags that need to be mixed (rather than shaking them), warming IV solutions to room temperature before use, filling drip chambers approximately halfway and using standard gravity IV set priming technique to purge air from sets and all Y sites.
AC Power Adaptor WARNING USE ONLY THE POWER ADAPTOR SPECIFIED FOR THIS EQUIPMENT. USE OF OTHER POWER ADAPTORS MAY CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT. The power adaptor is used to charge the pump’s battery. The power adaptor uses a locking cord connection to prevent inadvertent disconnection. To engage the power adaptor, align the arrow of the power adaptor cord with the arrow on the connector identified as the external power adaptor connection (on the back of the SIGMA Spectrum pump). Insert the power adaptor module into the appropriate wall power outlet. The Spectrum will display a plug symbol if the power adaptor is working properly when the pump is in operation. The green led on the power adaptor should be on when the adaptor is plugged into a powered wall outlet. The Adaptor (power supply) side of the A.C. Power Adaptor is equipped with a Protector (P/N 45742). The Protector is a plastic enclosure which snaps onto the Adaptor. The purpose of the Protector is to protect the Adaptor from damage during use in hospital environment. The A.C. Power Adaptor with the Protector can be used on wall outlet and Pole Mount power strip receptacles. The Protector comes installed with the pump. The Protector cannot be removed from the Adaptor once it is installed. The Protector can be ordered separately as an accessory for installing on old A.C. Power Adaptor. A separate instruction bulletin on how to install the Protector will be send along with the Protector. The Protector is compatible with the cleaners mentioned in this Operators manual. Refer to the Cleaning & Storage section of this Operators manual for the methods of cleaning and compatible cleaners that can be used on the A.C. power Adaptor with Protector.

NOTE: IMPROPER REMOVAL MAY DAMAGE THE POWER ADAPTOR. Remove the Power Adaptor by grasping the handle of the Protector and pulling it back from the receptacle in a straight direction as shown in figure. Do not pull the Adaptor at an angle to avoid bending of the prongs. Do not pull the cord to unplug the Adaptor from the receptacle. Improper twisting or pulling of the connector or cord may damage the power supply. NOTE: Repeated drops of power adaptors on floors will cause them to malfunction. As with all electronic devices, drops should always be prevented. Set Loading (Unloading) WARNING THE PUMP WILL INDEX WHEN THE SET’S SLIDE CLAMP IS REMOVED FROM THE PUMP’S KEYHOLE. THIS WILL PROPEL FLUID (MAXIMUM OF .1ML) IN THE IV SET IN THE DIRECTION OF FLOW AND POSSIBLY TO THE PATIENT. THIS WILL OCCUR IF THE ADMINISTRATION SET IS LOADED IN THE PUMP AND A PATIENT IS CONNECTED TO THE ADMINISTRATION SET. -

OPEN THE PUMP DOOR by inserting the slide clamp into the keyhole (loading point 1) and pressing down until the door opens.
#
LOAD IV SET TUBING INTO THE TUBING CHANNEL. Loading must be from the top to bottom of the tubing channel and the tubing should be taught. Load the tubing # # # into loading point 2 and then loading points 3 and 4. CLOSE THE DOOR by pressing the upper and lower corners near the door hooks areas. OPEN THE SLIDE AND ROLLER CLAMP. TO UNLOAD SETS, close roller clamp, push the slide clamp in the keyhole until the door opens and pull tubing out from the bottom of the pump towards the top. PREVENT FREE FLOW whenever the pump door is open and when the set is out of the pump. This is accomplished by having the set’s slide clamp or roller clamp fully closed or by partially opening the roller clamp to achieve gravity flow. WHEN CHANGING IV SETS OR CONTAINERS always keep the roller clamp fully closed, (except when following standard gravity set priming procedures).
