To ensure that this pump remains in good operating condition, it is important to keep it clean and carry out the routine maintenance
procedures described below. All servicing should only be performed by a qualified service engineer with reference to the Technical Service
Manual (TSM).
Circuit diagrams and components parts lists and all other servicing information which will assist the qualified service engineer in performing
repair of the parts designated as repairable are available upon request from Cardinal Health.
A
If the pump is dropped, damaged, subjected to excessive moisture or high temperature, immediately take it out of
service for examination by a qualified service engineer.
All preventative and corrective maintenance and all such activities shall be performed at a compliant work place in
accordance with the information supplied. Cardinal Health will not be responsible should any of these actions be
performed outside the instructions or information supplied by Cardinal Health.
Refer to the Technical Service Manual for the access code for technical service features.
Interval
Routine Maintenance Procedure
As per Hospital Policy
Thoroughly clean external surfaces of the pump before and after prolonged period of storage.
At least once per year
1. Inspect AC power supply plug and cable for damage.
(Refer to TSM for
2. Perform functional tests as outlined in the Technical Service Manual.
identification of parts)
3. Operate the pump on battery power until the battery low alarm then charge the battery to confirm battery
operation and charging.
A
Please refer to Technical Service Manual for calibration procedures. The units of measurement used in the
calibration procedure are standard SI (The International System of Units) units.
If the pump continually illuminates the battery symbol and the AC power indicator light does not illuminate when the pump is connected
to the AC power supply and switched ON, either the power supply fuse in the AC plug, if fitted, or the internal fuses have blown.
First check the power supply fuse in the AC mains plug, if fitted. If the AC power indicator light does not illuminate remove the pump from
service.
It is recommended that only a qualified service engineer replaces the AC fuses. For further information regarding the replacement of
internal AC fuses refer to the Technical Service Manual.
A
If the fuses continue to blow, suspect an electrical fault and have the pump and power supply checked out by a
qualified service engineer.
The internal rechargeable battery allows continued operation when the AC power is unavailable, for example during patient transfer or AC
power failure. A fully charged battery will provide over 4 hours of operation at typical infusion rates. From the battery low alarm it will take
about 2½ hours to 90% charge when reconnected to the AC power supply, whether the pump is in use or not.
The battery is maintenance free, sealed Nickel Metal Hydride and requires no routine servicing. However, to achieve optimum operation,
ensure that the battery is fully recharged after full discharge, before storage, and at regular 3 month intervals during storage.
Charge retention will eventually degrade. Where retention is critical the internal battery should be replaced every 3 years.
It is recommended that only a qualified service engineer replaces the battery. For further information regarding the replacement of
batteries refer to the Technical Service Manual.
The test routines are designed to allow confirmation of many of the pump functions, defaults and calibrations without requiring internal
inspection. They do not represent a full calibration check.
A
See the Technical Service Manual for a complete list of the test procedures, access codes and calibration procedures.
