Introduction

This section describes the procedure to upgrade the pump software to Version 3.01. The upgrade is
required to improve the reliability of the kinked-tube alarm for supine patients.
The upgrade should be carried out on any pump within the serial number range specified but only at the
following times:
• At the next scheduled service.
• After any repair carried out on the pump.
• If the pump is exhibiting excessive kinked-tube alarms.
Serial Number range:
Any pump up to and including serial number:
a. All pumps from serial number 507032001 onwards already have version 3.01 (or later)
software installed at the factory.
Before upgrading the pump to the new V3.01 software, check the current software version by initialising
the pump (refer to Chapter 6, Page 15, Section 8). If the software is already at V3.01 or higher, do not
attempt the upgrade.
To perform the check and the upgrade, a Personal Computer is required, equipped with a serial port and
®
running Microsoft Windows
Pack software installed in order to communicate with the pump. To install the Serial Communications
Pack, refer to Chapter 6, Page 9, Section 3.
