IVAC® 598 Volumetric Pump Getting Started Getting Started Initial Set-up Before operating the Pump read this Directions For Use manual carefully. Check that the Pump is complete, undamaged and that the voltage rating specified on the label is compatible with your AC power supply.
IVAC® 598 Volumetric Pump Loading an Infusion Set Loading an Infusion Set Ensure the appropriate infusion set for the fluid/drug to be infused has been selected. Follow the instructions supplied with the individual infusion set. Only use IVAC® 598 Volumetric Pump infusion sets, (Refer to 'Infusion Sets' section of the DFU) Position the fluid container to avoid spillage onto the pump.
IVAC® 598 Volumetric Pump Starting the Infusion Starting the Infusion Prime and load the set (refer to 'Loading an Infusion Set') Ensure the pump is connected to an AC power supply (also operates from battery). Connect flow sensor, if required. (See 'Flow Sensor Operation') ON/OFF switch to power on the pump.
IVAC® 598 Volumetric Pump Basic Features Basic Features KVO (Keep Vein Open) Rate When using a flow sensor and the solution container empties, the pump will alarm and FLO will be displayed. When not using a flow sensor and the pump has counted down to zero from the preset volume-to-be-infused value, it automatically switches to a 5 ml/h KVO rate, (or current rate, whichever is less), lights the KVO indicator, and produces two audible beeps every 5 seconds.

IVAC® 598 Volumetric Pump Trumpet and Flow Rate Curves Trumpet and Flow Rate Curves In this pump, as with all infusion systems, the action of the pumping mechanism and variations cause short-term fluctuations in rate accuracy. The following curves show typical performance of the system in two ways: 1) the accuracy of fluid delivery over various time periods is measured (trumpet curves), and 2) the delay in onset of fluid flow when infusion commences (start-up curves).
