Section 4 THEORY OF OPERATION This section describes the PCA 3 infusion system theory of operation. Related drawings are provided in Drawings. The theory of operation details the general description, Section 9, electronics overview, and mechanism assembly. GENERAL DESCRIPTION The PCA 3 includes the following features: ❏...
SECTION 4 THEORY OF OPERATION ELECTRONICS OVERVIEW PCA 3 infusion system electronics include the power supply module; supervision circuitry; battery charger; logic interface; LCD interface; keypad interface; serial port; barcode reader; patient pendant; real-time clock; alarm logic; and memory. 4.2.1 POWER SUPPLY MODULE The power supply module provides regulated DC power to the pump electronics from the AC mains.
4.2 ELECTRONICS OVERVIEW 4.2.2.3 POWER CONTROL LOGIC CIRCUITRY The power control logic (PCL) controls the logic power switch. Any of four events initiate power-up: AC Power-On (AC_ON), SWon* (front panel Power-On), VialSw* (vial switch), or InjSw* (injector clamp switch). The switch inputs are normally open circuit and pulled high to V3.3.
SECTION 4 THEORY OF OPERATION 4.2.5 LITHIUM BATTERY BACKUP A lithium “coin cell” battery provides emergency standby power to the RTC and SRAM if the SLA battery is disabled and AC power is off. The lithium battery discharge current will be less than 26 µA at approximately 25°C temperature.
4.2 ELECTRONICS OVERVIEW 4.2.6.2 DISCHARGED BATTERY DETECTION If, during operation on battery (no AC power, charger off), the terminal voltage falls below 7.2 volts (owing to IR drops internal to the battery and fuse, while the cell voltage is actually 7.8 volts) for more than 3 seconds, the battery is discharged, and the “DEAD BATTERY”...
SECTION 4 THEORY OF OPERATION 4.2.8 LCD INTERFACE A 128 x 64 pixel LCD in portrait orientation is the main user display. The LCD module is based on two Hitachi HD61202 (or similar) column drivers. This is a CMOS logic operating from the 5 volt supply.
4.2 ELECTRONICS OVERVIEW 4.2.8.5 AC POWER INDICATOR A green LED light bar back-illuminates the AC power graphic symbol on the front panel. The AC power indicator is active anytime +12V is present, and is not controlled by the MCU. The AC power indicator draws approximately 10 mA. 4.2.9 KEYPAD INTERFACE A keypad is used for operator control and data entry.
SECTION 4 THEORY OF OPERATION 4.2.12 PATIENT PENDANT The patient pendant is a normally open SPDT switch connected to the infusion pump with a 1/4 inch stereo phone jack. The sleeve contact of the phone jack is at common, the tip contact is the normally open signal PCA*.
4.2 ELECTRONICS OVERVIEW 4.2.14 MECHANISM ASSEMBLY The mechanism assembly drives an inverted syringe from a lead screw and stepper motor drive. Sensors in the mechanism monitor the syringe, drive position, and loading force (see Figure 4-1, Mechanism Assembly). 00G06004 Figure 4-1. Mechanism Assembly Technical Service Manual 4 - 9 430-04566-003 (Rev.
SECTION 4 THEORY OF OPERATION 4.2.14.1 VIAL SENSOR The vial sensor is a normally open SPDT switch behind the cradle that moves as the syringe is emptied. The normally closed contact is not used. A harness connects the sensor to the MCU PWA.
4.2 ELECTRONICS OVERVIEW 4.2.14.6 DUAL BIPOLAR DRIVE The motor drive is a major current drain in the operation of the infusion pump. To conserve power, a bipolar constant current drive is used. This motor has two windings that are electrically 90° out of phase (see Figure 4-2, Dual Bipolar Drive).
SECTION 4 THEORY OF OPERATION 4.2.16 ALARM LOGIC Refer to 6. The MCU PWA controls an Figure 9-7, MCU PWA Schematic (Analog), Sheet 5 of audible buzzer that is activated either under software control, during MCU reset period, or under catastrophic failure. 4.2.16.1 NORMAL ALARM The alarm will sound each time the PCA 3 powers on.
4.2 ELECTRONICS OVERVIEW 4.2.16.6 NORMAL KEY TONE Activating the alarm for 10 to 50 ms at medium volume will indicate valid keypad input. 4.2.17 PROGRAM MEMORY The program code is stored in a 256 K x 16 flash ROM. The flash memory is to be erased and rewritten in-circuit.

Section 5 MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE TESTS A complete maintenance program promotes infusion pump longevity and trouble-free instrument operation. Such a program should include routine maintenance, periodic maintenance inspection, and following any repair procedure, performance verification testing. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE Routine maintenance consists of basic inspection and cleaning procedures. As a minimum requirement, inspect and clean the infusion pump after each use.
CAUTION: Certain cleaning and sanitizing compounds may slowly degrade components made from some plastic materials. Using abrasive cleaners or cleaning solutions not recommended by Hospira may result in product damage and, potentially, void the product warranty. Do not use compounds containing combinations of isopropyl alcohol and dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride.
Perform the PVT before an infusion pump is placed back in service after repair. If any malfunction is detected as a result of the PVT, contact Hospira. Note: Perform the PVT exactly as described in this manual to assure effective and reliable product evaluation information.
2. Plug the AC power cord into a grounded, hospital-grade 120 V , 50-60 Hz receptacle. 3. Connect the appropriate Hospira PCA set to a Hospira 30 mL PCA vial/injector. CAUTION: Make certain all caps on the vial and the administration set are removed and all clamps are open when priming.
4. Verify the Service Mode screen displays. The Service Mode screen includes the current software version and the total elapsed days since new software was downloaded or the pump was initialized in Hospira Mode. Press the [CONTINUE] softkey. 5. Verify the infusion pump is not connected to a patient and press the [CONTINUE] softkey.
SECTION 5 MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE TESTS 6. After the power up RAM test is completed, the infusion pump displays the Service Mode Main Menu screen. Press the [MAINTENANCE] softkey. 7. Press the [SYSTEM TEST] softkey. 8. Select the test to be performed by pressing the corresponding softkey (see Table 5-2).
5.2 PERFORMANCE VERIFICATION TEST 5.2.6 DELIVERY ACCURACY TEST To perform the delivery accuracy test, proceed as follows: 1. Unlock and open the security door. 2. With the cradle in the uppermost position, insert a water-filled, primed PCA 3 vial and PCA 3 set, with a 21-gauge butterfly, into the cradle. 3.
SECTION 5 MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE TESTS 24. Once the second loading dose is completed, verify the infusion pump delivered 20mL ± 1 mL. 25. Remove the blunt cannula or needle from the distal end of the PCA 3 set. 26. Press the [ON/OFF] touchswitch to power off the pump. 5.2.7 OCCLUSION TEST To perform the occlusion test, proceed as follows:...
2. Reset the PCA 3 infusion system to the original configuration. 3. Verify the correct time and date. 4. Return the PCA 3 infusion system to service. Note: If any tests fail, refer to Troubleshooting, or contact Hospira. Section 6, Technical Service Manual 5 - 9 430-04566-003 (Rev. 1/05)
SECTION 5 MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE TESTS PRINTER TEST (OPTIONAL) To perform the printer test, proceed as follows: 1. Connect a serial printer cable to the printer port on the infusion pump. 2. Power on the printer. Press the printer [ON-LINE] switch and verify the on-line LED lights.
5.5 BATTERY OPERATION OVERVIEW BATTERY OPERATION OVERVIEW The infusion pump is intended to operate on battery power on an exception basis only, such as emergency backup or temporary portable operation. Examples of emergency backup include AC power failure or inadvertent disconnection of the AC power cord. An instance of temporary portable operation includes patient transfer from one location to another.
