WARNING: You should ensure that the performance offered by the pump is fit for the intended purpose. Failure to do so may result in compromised function of the product, patient injury or user injury. WARNING: Do not use a faulty pump. If the pump detects a fault when it is first turned on, or if it develops a fault during operation then a continuous system alarm sounds. The pump must be referred to a suitably qualified technician or returned to Graseby Medical in order to have the fault rectified. WARNING: Before using the pump, it should be inspected for physical damage. The pump should not be used if damage is evident, and should be returned to service personnel for repair before being returned to use. Failure to do so may result in compromised function of the product, patient injury or user injury. WARNING: Do not use the pump if you detect any cracks, chips and loose or bent parts, or if the buttons do not move in and out freely when they are pressed. Failure to do so could cause inadvertent disconnection of the pumps. WARNING: Do not push or pull on the pumps, or the IV pole may tip over or the pumps fall to the floor. Do not try to remove modular connected pumps from the IV pole whilst they are joined together. Either of these could cause the administration set to separate from the fluid container thus spilling the medication, or the pumps themselves could be damaged. WARNING: Correct entry of data is essential in order to ensure that the intended infusion is performed. Before confirming any displayed data when setting up an infusion, you should ensure that it is correct. Failure to do so may result in compromised function of the product, patient injury or user injury. WARNING: Dose-rate calculation requires care in entering data. Refer to specific product drug labelling for information on appropriate administration techniques and dosages. Entering incorrect data may result in patient injury or death.

WARNING: When delivering drugs in the epidural space, use only those medications specifically indicated for epidural use. Epidural administration of other drugs could result in serious patient injury or death. 9. WARNING: The use of administration sets incorporating injection sites could lead to an improper or inappropriate infusion resulting in serious patient injury or death. 10. WARNING: Failure to clearly identify the pump and administration sets could lead to an improper or inappropriate infusion resulting in serious patient injury or death. 11. WARNING: Remove any air to prevent air embolism. The presence of air within the infusion can result in complications resulting in patient injury or death. 12. WARNING: To avoid over infusion, do not prime the infusion line when the administration set is connected to the patient. Over infusion can result in patient injury or death. 13. WARNING: The Occlusion alarm level must be checked before starting an infusion to ensure that it is appropriate for the infusion. Failure to do so may result in an unacceptably slow time to Occlusion alarm, resulting in patient injury or death. 14. WARNING: Prior to starting an infusion, inspect the fluid path for kinks, a closed clamp or other obstructions. Failure to do so may result in the infusion not being delivered correctly, resulting in patient injury or death. 15. WARNING: If using a blood pressure cuff above the patient’s venipuncture site take extra care in setting the Occlusion alarm pressures. Failure to do so may result in unnecessary Occlusion alarms, resulting in patient injury or death. 16. WARNING: The Occlusion detection system measures downline pressure in the administration set, but does not detect infiltration. In accordance with local protocol, you must periodically inspect the patient’s infusion site for signs of infiltration. Failure to do so may result in an unacceptably slow time to Occlusion resulting in patient injury or death. 17. WARNING: If an Occlusion alarm occurs, immediately clamp the line to the patient. Then inspect the fluid pathway to determine what has caused the obstruction. An unintentional bolus of medication can result in patient injury or death.

Warnings and Cautions

18. WARNING: Do not run parallel infusion lines below the pump. Delivering a Secondary infusion means running a second line above the pump. Failure to do so may result in an inaccurate delivery of medication, resulting in patient injury or death. 19. WARNING: Check the Secondary set carefully, since an occlusion above the pump on the Secondary line could cause the Primary fluid to be delivered instead of the Secondary infusion. Administering the wrong medication may cause serious patient injury or death. 20. WARNING: The Secondary volume to be infused must match the amount of fluid in the secondary container. Primary flow resumes when the secondary container is empty. If the volumes do not correspond, the wrong infusion may be delivered which could cause serious patient injury or death. 21. WARNING: Correct management of battery charging, as described in this documentation is essential to ensure that the pump can operate on battery for the time specified. Failure to do so may result in compromised function of the product or patient injury. 22. WARNING: If a backup alarm sounds, the pump should be immediately removed from the patient and sent to be repaired by a Graseby Medical qualified technician. Failure to do so may cause patient injury or death. 23. WARNING: Failure to use the power cord retainer means that the pump may be accidentally or erroneously disconnected from

the mains. Although there is a battery backup in case this happens, the battery may not be charged sufficiently. Consequently, there is a risk of the pump not functioning which could lead to patient injury or death. 24. WARNING: Do not open the pump housing. Refer all service faults only to qualified technical personnel. Opening the pump housing may cause electric shock leading to patient or user injury or death. 25. WARNING: When the pump is carrying out an infusion, to ensure that electrical safety is maintained, only items of equipment that conform to EN60950 are to be connected to the RS232 connector situated at the back of the pump, otherwise patient safety may be compromised. 26. WARNING: While Graseby Medical Limited have taken all reasonable steps to ensure that the pump operates correctly while under remote control, it is the responsibility of the person who designs and implements the controlling device to ensure that the resulting system (pump and controlling device) is fit for its intended purpose. Failure to do so may result in compromised function of the product, patient injury or user injury. 27. WARNING: Use only Graseby Medical administration sets with this product. Failure to do so may result in compromised system accuracy leading to complications resulting in patient injury or death.

New features of version 0.71 software The information in this section is intended for technicians and clinicians already familiar with earlier versions of the Graseby 500/505 volumetric pump. It summarises the changes to the pump that appear with version 0.71 of the pump software: • new menu, • new options, • new features that the menu and options provide.

New Options The new options (and some of the previous options) can be enabled on the Technician Menu. This means that they can appear when appropriate, but can be disabled if not required. On the instruction label on the pump, Options numbered 1 to 8 are the ones that appeared in previous versions of the pump software. The additional new options shown on the label are:

To find out the software version of a particular pump, check the instructions label on the right side of the pump. If there are more than eight options listed, then the software version is 0.71 or later.

• Primary infusion Minimum

For full details on how to use the pump see the Volumetric Instruction Manual. For information on configuring the pump, see the Technical User Manual, and for more detailed technical information, obtain a copy of the Volumetric Service Manual.

• Secondary/Bolus Max Volume to be infused

New Menu

The new menu and new options in version 0.71 software provide a number of new features. These fall into the following broad areas:

A Technician Menu has been introduced, to simplify the configuration of each pump. Some of the items on the Technician Menu affect how the pump behaves; others control the options that appear to the pump user when they press the Options button to show the Options menu. The configurable items on the new Technician Menu are shown on page 12 of the Technical User Manual. If the Technician Menu settings are left at their factory defaults, the pump behaves as the previous version of the pump.

• Primary infusion Maximum • Primary Max Volume to be infused • Secondary/Bolus Minimum • Secondary/Bolus Maximum

• KVO Rate • Drug Library to allow selection and display of a drug label.

New features

• Infusion mode features • Safety features • Display features • Servicing features.

Infusion mode features Using the Technician Menu, the pump can be configured: • to stop at the end of a Secondary infusion, or to continue infusing and automatically switch to the programmed Primary rate;

• to allow a Bolus infusion to be programmed where the volume infused is deducted from the primary infusion volume to be infused; to highlight this feature, the key previously called “Secondary” is now called “Secondary/Bolus” • to allow the user to set a KVO rate for an infusion, or remain at the default rate configured for the particular pump; • to use the Occlusion Alarm level specified for an infusion, or remain at the configured default alarm level; • to allow access to a previously programmed Dose-Rate Calculation infusion when the pump is switched on (Dose-Rate Calculation recovery), or display the standard messages.

Safety features • a timeout safety feature has been added. This means that when messages are not actioned within the timeout period, for example setting a value, the pump reverts to the previous display. • safety keypad lockout, this feature is only activated when operating the pump on AC power. It allows the user to lockout the keypad after setting the pump up for use, so that it can be ready for infusion at a later time. Configurable safety features that can be controlled on the Technician Menu are: • automatic keypad lock after one minute, to prevent malicious tampering, and increase patient safety; • preset rate and VTBI limits, so that Infusion Rate and Volume to be vi

Infused are limited to a suitable range; this prevents values being programmed accidentally which are inappropriate for infusions in particular environments (such as epidural infusions, or paediatric applications).

Display features • configured parameters are shown on the Message Display when the pump is switched on. Configurable display features that can be controlled on the Technician Menu are: • the backlight may be activated when the keypad is touched, or kept on permanently; • one of 30 preset drug labels may be selected and viewed as required during an infusion; • the display of micrograms (when programming an infusion using dose-rate calculation) can be shown as ‘µg’ or ‘mcg’; • the time display may include the suffix GMT, or the suffix can be suppressed if it is not appropriate.

Servicing features On the Technician Menu, the pump can be programmed with a pump ID to suit the hospital protocol, and a service due date: • the ID, for example the serial number of the pump, or an alphanumeric pump name, is displayed each time the pump is turned on; • when a Service Date is set, the date is displayed each time the pump is switched on. An alarm sounds when the date is reached.

Introduction

Introduction to the 500/505 pumps The Graseby Medical 500 and 505 Volumetric pumps are designed for use in infusion therapy in both venous and arterial infusions. They offer both standard and optional features bringing accurate fluid delivery to the patient.

The main features of the pumps are described starting on page 1-3. For full details on the differences between the 500 and 505, see the Specification section at the end of this manual.

This makes them ideal for use in general care, home care, and intensive/ critical care areas.

Read the entire contents of this manual carefully before using the pump.

The Model 500 and Micro 505 pumps are very similar in design. The differences are in colour, graphics and in the maximum rate and volume to be infused that can be programmed for an infusion.

Model 500 Volumetric pump The Model 500 is designed for use in all areas, as it can be programmed with an infusion rate of up to 999 millilitres per hour, and a maximum volume to be infused of 9999 millilitres.

Micro 505 Volumetric pump The Micro 505 is designed for use in paediatric/neonatal environments and for fluid restricted patients. It can only be programmed with an infusion rate below 100 millilitres per hour, and the maximum volume to be infused is 999.9 millilitres.

Introduction

Graseby Medical Ltd.

Epidural administration Both the Model 500 and the Micro 505 pumps may be used for epidural administration.

Anaesthetics

To prevent infusion of drugs not indicated for epidural use and to avoid inappropriate delivery rates when using the pump for epidural applications:

Epidural administration of anaesthetics is limited to short-term (not to exceed 96 hours) infusion, with indwelling catheters specifically indicated for short-term delivery of anaesthetic drugs.

• use the pump’s Maximum Rate option, to set a maximum infusion rate of 20 mL/h on a pump to be used for epidural administration. This feature is described fully in Chapter 3, Options;

Analgesics

• do not use IV administration sets which contain injection sites;

Epidural administration of analgesics is limited to use with indwelling catheters that are specifically indicated for short or long term delivery of analgesic drugs.

• differentiate the pump and IV set being used for epidural delivery from those being used for other routes of administration. A yellow Epidural Label Set for the Volumetric Infusion Pump (part number TPF00306) is available from Graseby Medical. The labels should be stuck on the front, top and sides of the pump to help staff to identify a pump that is dedicated to epidural application.

WARNING: The use of administration sets incorporating injection sites could lead to an improper or inappropriate infusion resulting in serious patient injury or death. WARNING: When delivering drugs in the epidural space, use only those medications specifically indicated for epidural use. Epidural administration of other drugs could result in serious patient injury or death.

Introduction

Pump features The main features of the 500 and 505 pumps are listed below:

Infusion mode features

Easy to use features

• the pumps can be configured to stop at the end of a Secondary infusion, or automatically switch to infuse at the programmed Primary rate;

The pumps have been designed to be easy to use: • they are easy to set up and operate, yet with all the advanced features typically associated with the more complicated infusion systems; • they have a straightforward keypad and an easy-to-read message display; • the unique air-in-line removal system allows clearing of bubbles in the line by simply opening and closing the door: air is prevented from going beyond the cassette; this increases patient safety, minimises the risk of infection and saves operator time; • they can be used at the bedside or as transportable equipment; using the internal battery which also switches in automatically if the pump is being used on mains power and this is interrupted.

Use of administration sets The pumps can only be used with Graseby Medical administration sets. These administration sets have the following features: • all Graseby Medical administration sets incorporate a safety clip to prevent accidental free flow when the administration set is removed from the pump; • when used with Graseby Medical blood administration sets the pumps deliver blood and blood products without significant haemolysis of red blood cells.

• accurate (± 2%) fluid delivery;

• a Bolus infusion may be programmed so that the volume infused is deducted from the primary infusion volume to be infused; • KVO rate may be specified for an infusion, or remain at the default rate for a particular pump; • the pumps offer a quick rate change feature for complete titration capability; • automatic delivery of a secondary medication (if a secondary infusion has been set up).

Safety features The pumps have been designed with a high emphasis on safety: • there is an optional automatic keypad lock which prevents inadvertent operation and increases patient safety; • the keypad can also be locked manually at any time; • a pump may be configured so that its Infusion Rate and Volume to be Infused are limited to a suitable range; this prevents values being entered accidentally which are inappropriate for infusions in particular environments (such as epidural infusions). • the pumps have indicators that are lit to show if they are running on battery or mains;

• when using the battery, a test is performed on power-up and the level is shown on the display; manual testing is also available; • the pumps have an RS232 interface allowing connection to a computer for external monitoring.

Display features Apart from the standard display, pumps can be configured to show extra information, either as a standard message display or by pressing a key to toggle the display. Standard displays are: • the volume infused in the current infusion; • the infusion rate; • the Volume to be Infused in the remainder of the infusion. Additionally: • the rate and volume to be infused displays are automatically adjusted to make them easy to read in any light; • the time remaining in the present infusion may be viewed; • the total volume of fluid delivered to your patient since the totaliser was last cleared to be viewed; also displayed with the total volume is the total time (hours and minutes) that the pump has been in use since the totaliser was last cleared;

Occlusion Pressure features These features increase safety in infusing fluid, particularly in critical care areas such as neonatal and paediatric care: • when setting occlusion alarms, three standard occlusion alarm settings between 100 and 500 mmHg can be made; see the Specification section at the end of this manual for full details of the occlusion alarm values; • the occlusion pressure alarm setting when the pump switches on is configurable; you can change the setting for a particular infusion using the Occlusion Alarm Setting key; • when an occlusion alarm sounds, the pumping mechanism backs off to reduce downline back pressure and bolus potential (bolus potential is approximately 0.3 mL regardless of the rate and the administration set used); • when an occlusion is detected, the pump does not give an occlusion alarm immediately, but only alarms if the occlusion pressure continues to exceed the occlusion threshold for up to 10 seconds; however, if such temporary occlusions persist, then the occlusion alarm is generated; this helps to avoid nuisance occlusions.

Using configurable displays: • the backlight may be activated when the keypad is touched, or kept on permanently; • optionally, one of 30 preset drug labels may be selected and viewed as required during an infusion.

Introduction

Special infusion features

• special menus are provided to aid in testing, troubleshooting and service;

The pumps have a number of special infusion options: • a Volume over time option allows the user to set the volume to be infused and total time for the infusion, the pump automatically calculating the infusion rate; • a Dose-rate calculation option which allows automatic calculation of the infusion rate by entering infusion dose; patient weight (kg or lbs); drug amount in fluid container (in MG, Gm or mcg units), and volume of fluid in the container, in mL; • a Rate Tapering option allows automatic tapering of the infusion rate (either up or down) for administration of IV nutrition.

Multiple use features When multiple infusion lines are required, two or three pumps can be fitted together: • modular side rails and hooks mean that one, two, or three pumps may be connected to a single IV pole; this provides space saving;

• the last 200 events are recorded and available on these menus; • downloading of the pump history is possible using the RS232 port with a special optional kit (Part no 01500673). Together with the ability to configure the pump using the Technician Menu, these features offers greater management flexibility. Instructions for using these functions appear in the Technical User Guide and the Volumetric Service Manual.

Optional features Some pumps are optionally fitted with a Nurse-Call Feature which allows a pump to be connected to a hospital nurse call system and signal alarms occurring in the pump. Note: This feature is not available in all countries.

• the modular connection system has a safety feature which ensures that the first pump must be correctly attached to an IV pole before the second and third pumps can be connected.

Servicing features The pumps have been designed with a number of features for Biomedical engineers: • a Service Due Indicator, allows a service date to be set, which is displayed on power-up with an alarm;
