Cardinal Health has verified the accuracy of the mathematical model implementation as well as pump delivery accuracy - (specification and accuracy of pump - delivery are available in 'Profiles from TCI Mode' section).
TCI Overview The dose-response relationship can be divided into three parts: the relationship between administered dose and plasma concentration (the pharmacokinetic phase), the relationship between effect organ concentration and clinical effect (the pharmacodynamic phase) and the coupling between pharmacokinetics and dynamics. The ultimate goal when administering a particular dose of a drug is to obtain the desired clinical effect, for which a specific therapeutic concentration of the drug at the site of action (the receptor) is necessary.

TCI Overview (continued) TCI infusion pumps can provide optimal control of anaesthesia when the three elements mentioned above have been accurately modelled and described. Firstly, the model that controls the pump has to work accurately (The models used in the Alaris® PK Syringe Pump are well- validated and accepted).

Operating Precautions (continued) Electromagnetic Compatibility & Interference • This pump is protected against the effects of external interference, including high energy radio frequency emissions, magnetic fields and electrostatic discharge (for example, as generated by electrosurgical and cauterising equipment, large motors, portable radios, cellular telephones etc.) and is designed to remain safe when unreasonable levels of interference are encountered.
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 16
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 17
Getting Started (continued) Loading a Syringe Only use a syringe of the type stated on the pump or in this manual. Using an incorrect syringe could adversely affect the accuracy of the infusion and the performance of the pump. When initially loading the syringe, allow for the volume of fluid contained in the extension set and retained in the syringe at the end of infusion as this “dead-space”...

Trumpet Curves & Start-up Curves In this pump, as with all infusion systems, the action of the pumping mechanism and variations in individual syringes cause short-term fluctuations in rate accuracy. The following curves show typical performance of the system in two ways: 1) the delay in onset of fluid flow when infusion commences (start-up curves), and 2) the accuracy of fluid delivery over various time periods is measured (trumpet curves).
Profiles from TCI mode When targeting in TCI Mode the Alaris® PK Syringe Pump will automatically calculate the flow rate profile from the specific pharmacokinetic/ pharmacodynamic model for the selected drug. This section of the Directions For Use is intended to help users understand the profiled infusion and the performance accuracy attained from the TCI pump.
