Hi do you know what the margin of error is for the Alaris 1880 syringe pump when rate is less than 1ml/hr?

The infusion volume accuracy may be compromised at rates below 1.0 ml/h, so the margin of error is not specified for rates less than 1 ml/h.

    Getting Started Initial Set-up 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: Alaris®...
  • Page 11 Getting Started (continued) 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 fitted to the rear of the pump and will provide secure fixing to vertical I.V.
  • Page 12 Getting Started (continued) Loading and Confirming a Syringe 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.
  • Page 13 Note: If the PURGE SYRINGE option has been enabled then the prompt to purge screen is displayed and the extension set can be purged as required, however ensure that the extension set is not connected to the patient during this process. CareFusion recommends to limit the number of configured syringe types and sizes available for selection on the pump.
  • Page 14 Getting Started (Continued) Starting the Pump 1. Connect the pump to an AC power supply using the AC power cable. Press the button. The pump will run a short self-test. Ensure that two beeps are activated during this test. Check the display test pattern and ensure that no rows are missing. Check that the displayed time and date are correct.

    Basic Features Purge button allows the delivery of a limited volume of fluid in order to purge the extension set prior to being connected to a patient or after changing a syringe. 1. Press the button when the pump is not infusing. Ensure that the extension set is not connected to the patient. 2.
  • Page 16 Basic Features (Continued) Auto Set Pressure (If enabled) If the Auto Set Pressure Option is enabled then the pump AUTOMATICALLY adjusts the pressure occlusion limit. After 15 minutes of infusion the pump AUTOMATICALLY adjusts the occlusion pressure limit to X mmHg (the AUTO OFFSET value, 15- 100mmHg), above the average infusion pressure since the start of the infusion.
  • Page 17 Basic Features (Continued) Drugs and Dosing The following options enable the pump to be set-up for use with a specific drug and/or dosing protocol. Drugs are pre-configured in a drug library (see Configured Options) to enable rapid selection of the drug name, dosing units and default rate. For increased security using a configured drug, maximum and minimum safety limits are programmable for concentration and dose rates.
