Conventions

WARNING:

CAUTION:

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate personal injury or property damage. This word is used to also alert against unsafe practices.

Summary of Warnings and Cautions

WARNING:

The SIGMA Spectrum with Master Drug Library has not been tested or approved for use in motor vehicles or aircraft. 

WARNING:

Operation is Limited to Trained and Tested Operators SIGMA Spectrum operation is strictly limited to trained operators whose competency in safe Spectrum operation and in safe IV therapy practices has been tested and proven. Pump owners have sole responsibility for operator training and testing even when SIGMA personnel assist in training processes.

WARNING:

Confirm Safe Operation at Start and Thereafter Confirm safe, accurate pump operation at start and periodically thereafter by: - Ensuring that IV sets or container vents are properly functioning, tubing clamps are in the proper positions and tubing is free from kinks or signs of collapse outside the pump. - Observing the drip chamber to verify that there is no flow from the fluid container when the pump is stopped. - Confirming the drip rate approximates the pump’s flow rate during RUN operation. - Confirming pump settings are as intended. - Confirming correct: patient, route, dose rate, dose mode, time and drug/concentration. - Periodically check battery status and replace if necessary. - With IV therapy, vital signs and IV access sites are monitored per facility’s standard practice of care.

2

Manual 41018 - 6.05/6.2.4 Revision H

- The Spectrum Generation 2 Operating System is not intended to replace clinician patient observation. - When using the pump periodic patient monitoring must be performed to ensure that the infusion is proceeding as intended. - The pump was not designed nor is it intended to detect infiltrations or extravasations. Never operate the Spectrum unless all of the above safe operations are being practiced. WARNING:

Prevent Inaccuracy The following can cause flow rate inaccuracies and must be avoided: - Incompatible brand IV sets and compatible brand IV sets with unusually large or small diameters or unusually stiff materials. - Operating temperatures outside of 60-90°F for Standard Battery and 60-80°F for Wireless Battery Module. - Using IV sets longer than is recommended in the Specifications section of this manual. - Using a dropped, damaged, dirty or wet pump. - Pressurizing IV bags. - Positioning IV containers more than 2 feet above or 1 foot below the pump. - Non-vented IV sets with rigid non-vented containers. - Vents on sets or burettes left in the closed position when they should be open. - Using Microdrip or Minidrip chambers for flow rate settings greater than 200 mL/hr. Doing so may influence flow rate accuracy and cause nuisance air-in-line or upstream occlusion alarms. - Laying the IV container flat for long periods of time. Doing so may influence flow rate accuracy and cause air-in-line or upstream occlusion alarms. - Exceeding 500 mL/hr flow rate settings when using sets with backcheck valves. Doing so may influence flow rate accuracy or cause nuisance upstream air or upstream occlusion alarms. Flow rates above 300 mL/hr may cause fluid to be siphoned from the primary container during piggyback operation (see Secondary Infusion). Not applicable with non-DEHP tubing because 250 mL/hr is the maximum flow rate per warning statement.

WARNING:

3

Upstream occlusions caused by improperly vented glass bottles or burettes may not be detected because of the very slow-building vacuums resulting from these situations.

Introduction and Safety

Pump Operating Software v6.05 For Use With MDL Editor v6.2.4

WARNING:

Follow Epidural Precautions Epidural administration of drugs other than those indicated for epidural use can result in serious patient injury. - When administering epidural analgesics, use only catheters specifically labeled for epidural analgesia drug delivery. - To help prevent accidental infusion of non-epidural drugs, DO NOT USE epidural administration sets that contain injection sites. - Label the administration container and IV set “EPIDURAL USE ONLY”. - Clearly identify infusion pumps used for epidural administration. - Use Keypad Lock to guard against unauthorized pump access by a patient or family member.

WARNING:

Follow Neonatal and Pediatric Precautions - Use 60 drop/1 mL IV sets. - Configure the pump with appropriate flow rate, VTBI (Volume To Be Infused), patient weight and occlusion alarm limits. - Prior to connecting to patient, prime IV set, then close roller clamp, load IV set, open slide clamp and roller clamp (if equipped) to avoid possible bolus (0.2 mL) that would result around a door opening/set loading event. - If the pump door is opened with an IV set connected to a patient. Bolusing at door closing must be avoided. Before closing the door, clamp the set below the lower Y injection site. Connect a syringe to the lower Y injection site, close the door, open the slide clamp, collect a 0.085 mL bolus in the syringe and unclamp the set below the Y injection site.

WARNING:

Do Not Allow Uncontrolled Gravity Flow When loading a primed IV set, ensure, before pump manipulation, that the roller clamp below the pump is in the closed position. To open the pump door, the IV set’s slide clamp must first be closed (thus providing “set-based anti-free flow” protection). Do not open the slide clamp when the door is open or during and after IV set unloading. This can cause dangerous, uncontrolled free flow to occur. During IV container changes, always close the set’s roller clamp. When the set is in the pump and the door is closed, the slide clamp can safely be opened. If gravity flow is to be used, the pump door will be open or the set will be outside the pump. Verify gravity flow is maintained at the intended rate whenever the pump door is open and when the set is outside of the pump.

WARNING:

A fluid bolus will occur (maximum of 0.1 mL) when the slide clamp is removed and the administration set is loaded. 

Manual 41018 - 6.05/6.2.4 Revision H

WARNING:

Proper Disposal Required To dispose of this device or the associated administration sets, adhere to local, state, federal and/or other governing regulations.

WARNING:

Use the Specified Manufacturer’s IV Set Type The label is located on the top of the pump and indicates the specific type of IV tubing that the pump has been calibrated for. The use of other manufacturer’s brands or type tubing could produce pump inaccuracies that could be unsafe for patients.

WARNING:

Risk of Infection Do not use an administration set for longer than the manufacturer’s labeled set change interval to reduce risk of infection.

WARNING:

Upstream Occlusion Alarm Suspension - Upstream Occlusion Alarm Suspension feature should not be used when delivering critical drugs where the risk of flow stoppage due to an undetected upstream occlusion outweighs that of flow interruption due to nuisance alarms where no upstream occlusion is present. - Upstream Occlusion Alarm Suspension feature should not be used for drugs delivered in RIGID containers since the flow restriction caused by lack of proper container venting may be difficult to recognize when troubleshooting an alarm condition. - Upstream Occlusion Alarm Suspension feature should only be used after the operator visually observes positive line flow.

WARNING:

Baxter IV Sets These warnings apply to sets listed in this document by specific reference. 1. Minidrip sets should not be used for flow rate settings greater than 200 mL/hr. Doing so may influence flow rate accuracy and cause air-inline alarms or upstream occlusion alarms. 2. When using sets with backcheck valves flow rate settings should not exceed 500 mL/hr. Doing so may influence flow rate accuracy or cause upstream air-in-line or upstream occlusion alarms. Piggyback flow rates above 300 mL/hr may cause fluid to siphon from the primary container. Not applicable with non-DEHP tubing because 250 mL/hr is the maximum flow rate per warning statement. 3. When using sets with rigid polyethylene lined tubing, as is often used in nitroglycerine sets, flow rate settings should not exceed 500 mL/hr. Doing so may influence flow rate accuracy. 4. Partially occluded filters can cause air-in-line, upstream occlusion or downstream alarms and can influence negative flow rate accuracy.

5. Burettes with closed vents or shutoff valves will cause upstream occlusions that may not be detected by the infusion pump. Rigid unvented containers used with unvented sets or vented sets with vent closed, will cause upstream occlusions that may not be detected by the infusion pump. 6. Closed ball valve operation may not be detected by the pump. 7. Rigid polyethylene lined tubing, often used in nitroglycerine sets, may produce as much as 10 PSI downstream occlusion pressure above the lower limit of the pump specification. 8. Some sets contain two or more slide clamps. Only the slide clamp on the pumping section or on the section with the main roller clamp should be used for pumping operation and clamp detection. Other slide clamps associated with the set need to be observed and controlled by the user. 9. Blood sets with both clamps closed above the blood filter will cause upstream occlusions that may not be detected by the pump. 10. Sets containing manifolds may produce longer times to detection of downstream occlusion. 11. When using the compatible, non-DEHP IV administration sets in Spectrum pumps, the following performance limitations must be observed: 11.1 Flow rate accuracy will range ±10% from the expected volume, when evaluated for over a one-hour period, and not the ±5% specified in Spectrum Operator Manuals for Baxter “S” type DEHP IV sets. 11.2 Flow rate range and IV set usage duration for Baxter nonDEHP IV administration sets is limited to: ■10 – 125 mL/hr with IV tubing use of not greater than 36

hours ■126 – 250 mL/hr with IV tubing use of not greater than 4

hours 11.3 The Baxter non-DEHP administration sets should not be used with the SIGMA Spectrum Pump for medications and therapies requiring infusion flow rates and durations outside of ranges specified above. 11.4 Healthcare professionals should evaluate medications, prescribed therapies and patient populations prior to utilizing the Spectrum Infusion System with non-DEHP IV tubing. See the Specification Section for Downstream Occlusion times and bolus release information.

WARNING:

Hospira IV Sets These warnings apply to sets listed in this document by specific reference. 1. Microdrip chambers should not be used for flow rate settings greater than 200 mL/hr. Doing so may influence flow rate accuracy and cause air-in-line or upstream occlusion alarms. 2. When using sets with backcheck valves, flow rate settings should not exceed 500 mL/hr. Doing so may influence flow rate accuracy or cause nuisance upstream air or upstream occlusion alarms. Flow rates above 300 mL/hr may cause fluid to be siphoned from the primary container during piggyback operation (see Secondary Infusion). 3. Partially occluded filters can cause air-in-line upstream occlusion or downstream alarms and influence flow rate accuracy. 4. Burettes with closed vents or shutoff valves will cause upstream occlusions that may not be detected by the infusion pump. 5. Yellow Key Slide Clamp sets are only compatible with Spectrum software of 4.02.06 or higher, keyed for correct direction of flow. 6. Sets having a length that is greater than 48 inches from the exit of the pump to the patient connection end may have an increased downstream occlusion pressure, time to occlusion and bolus at occlusion release. For rates of less than 100 mL/hr, the pump should be set to the LOW downstream pressure setting. 7. Some sets contain two or more slide clamps. Only the slide clamp on the pumping section or on the section with the main roller clamp should be used for pumping operation and clamp detection. Other slide clamps associated with the set need to be observed and controlled by the user. 8. Blood sets with both clamps closed above the blood filter will cause upstream occlusion conditions that may not be detected by the pump. See the Specification Section for Downstream Occlusion times and bolus release information.

WARNING:

The Spectrum Pump is not designed to be MRI-compatible nor is it intended to be used in this manner. Strong magnetic fields (those beyond the level tested) may cause the device to operate improperly.

CAUTION:

ECG Artifacts Related to the Use of the Spectrum Pump Peristaltic infusion pumps may produce what is known as piezoelectric artifact on ECG monitors and similar types of monitoring instruments. The Spectrum Pump may produce this effect when the infusion pump is running at rates in the higher ranges of operation, this may be in the frequency range tracked by the ECG monitor. The appearance of the artifact may be affected by set up and/or connection of electrodes, leads, or equipment. See the ECG monitoring system documentation for recommendations on proper set up including electrode connections, site preparation, monitor system set up and electrode placement.

CAUTION:

Static Sensitive Equipment Wherever possible, eliminate any electro-static producing materials or conditions (dry, low humidity, synthetic materials such as blankets, carpeting, etc.)

CAUTION:

Avoid Bright Overhead Light Bright Light sources (>100 watt bulb) directly above the pumps keyhole (load point #1) and within 30.5 cm (1 ft) of the top of the pump may cause alarms or continuous system errors.

CAUTION:

-

Increase the distance between the pump and the light source.

-

Move the pump to an adjacent location rather than directly below the light source.

Avoid Overheating When operating the pump, keep out of bright sunlight or direct heat sources to prevent overheating.

CAUTION:

Sequester Pumps Pending Inspection Devices that are believed to have malfunctioned and/or were involved in an adverse event should be immediately removed from service and quarantined pending their inspection and/ or return to SIGMA for inspection and service.
