The Alaris ® System Technical Service Manual is available
from Cardinal Health. It includes routine service schedules,
interconnect diagrams, component parts lists and descriptions,
test procedures, and other technical information, to assist
qualified service personnel in repair and maintenance of the
instrument's repairable components. Maintenance procedures
are intended to be performed only by qualified personnel,
using the Service Manual and System Maintenance software.
To enhance safety and ease of operation, the Alaris
provides a full range of audio and visual alarms, errors, and
messages.
Operating the system near equipment which radiates high-
energy radio frequencies (such as, electrosurgical/cauterizing
equipment, portable radios, cellular telephones) may cause
false alarm conditions. If this happens, reposition the Alaris
System away from the source of interference or turn off the
system and manually regulate the flow with the clamp and/or
monitor the vital parameters using an appropriate clinical
alternative
