SIGMA Manual Number 41019 Revision AA INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY Intended Device Use The Spectrum and Spectrum with Master Drug Library are intended to be used for the controlled administration of intravenous fluids. These fluids may include pharmaceutical drugs, blood, blood products, antibiotics, nutritional fluids and mixtures of required patient therapy.
(wireless battery module only – SIGMA P/N 35162) See the SIGMA Spectrum Operator’s Manual (P/N 41018) for specific flow rate accuracy (trumpet curve) information and electromagnetic compatibility compliance levels. NRTL – Intertek Testing Services NA Inc. Reference Control Number 3063464...
Service Technician for inspection and repair prior to further use. USE ONLY IV ADMINISTRATION SETS THAT ARE LISTED ON SIGMA COMPATIBLE SET LISTING (see Operator’s Manual for listing). Use of any other sets may result in malfunction or inaccurate delivery.

Failure to comply with this requirement may cause the pump to fail. Refer to “Service and Maintenance” on page 26. Static sensitive electronics used in SIGMA infusion pumps may be damaged by electrostatic discharge. Service technicians must follow proper ESD procedures when working on pumps.
The back flex circuit is adhered to the rear case. The power connector is assembled to the rear case. Battery Pack The SIGMA Spectrum employs a removable lithium ion 7.2V battery pack. This assembly consists of the battery cells, contact pins and the two plastic case halves. The battery pack uses both cell and battery pack protection to guard against short-circuit, over voltage and over current conditions.

Revision AA Pole Clamp The pole clamp assembly (SIGMA P/N 35712) is attached to the rear of the pump. A thumbscrew is used to lock the pole clamp assembly to the SIGMA Spectrum pump. The pole clamp assembly is comprised of an anodized aluminum C-clamp and a slide mount receptacle bracket. The bracket is attached to the C-clamp with two 1/4-20 x 5/8”...
Pumping Mechanism Physical Method The SIGMA Spectrum uses a linear peristaltic motion to pump the fluid. That is, the tubing is repeat- edly squeezed to create fluid pressure and thereby flow of fluid. Operation...
Motor and Gear Drive SIGMA Spectrum employs a 16 mm DC motor, encoder and planetary gearbox. The output shaft of the gearbox is coupled to the pump drive camshaft by two identical gears, thereby creating a 1:1 drive ratio between the camshaft and output of the gearbox. Motor speed is controlled by a closed- loop pulse width modulation (PWM) drive system that derives its power directly from the battery or 9VDC source when the AC power adapter is connected.
If the signal amplitudes received by both sets of ultrasonic receivers are below the air thresh- old, an air alarm is declared and a visual and audible alarm is presented to the user. The SIGMA Spectrum air sensor is designed to detect air bubbles greater than 1 inch of tubing (125–150 µl depending on tubing calibration).
Electronic Components AC Power Adaptor / Charger The SIGMA Spectrum infusion pump uses an AC power adaptor capable of providing 9 VDC. The power adaptor connects to Spectrum via a positive locking connector, which will reduce the possibil- ity of accidental disconnection. When the AC power adaptor is plugged into an AC receptacle, the lithium ion battery pack will be charged.
SIGMA Manual Number 41019 Revision AA Display Spectrum uses a highly reflective thin film transistor (HRTFT) liquid crystal display containing: 240 X 320 pixels (240 x270 are active) Color HRTFT - 16 out of a palette of 262,144 possible colors 0.2235 mm X 0.2235 mm dot pitch...
115 thousand bits per second (115Kbs). The IrDA interface is accessible through the SIGMA Spectrum keypad that is located on the front case assembly. The IrDA port operates at distances of up to 3 meters assuming a direct line of sight within a 15-degree conic section.
25 mL/hr. Bolus Accuracy The SIGMA Spectrum IV pump may have an optional bolus mode of operation. This feature allows the user to perform a BOLUS SETUP action. To use this feature the pump must be programmed with either a specific rate or a specific amount to be delivered in a certain amount of time.

DO NOT use phenolic-based cleaners or disinfectants; extended use may cause damage to the keyboard, case and any other plastic component of the SIGMA Spectrum. DO NOT use spray or aerosol cleaners. A lint-free, foam-tipped swab (Chemtronics FoamtipTM or Qosmedix® precision foam tip for example) may be used in the tube channel.
Disconnect the AC power adaptor, and lay the pump on its front. Use a protective surface, such as plastic foam, to prevent damage to the keypad window. Remove the screw located in the upper right-hand corner of the SIGMA Spectrum battery (if equipped).

SIGMA Manual Number 41019 Revision AA Using the TORX driver, remove and retain the four TORX head screws from the case. (Wireless modules purchased prior to 2008 may have five torx head screws on this side of the case). Turn the wireless battery module over so that the terminals are now towards the work sur- face and remove and retain the one remaining TORX head screw at the top of the antenna housing.
Package the pump in the original shipping container (replacement available upon request) and affix the RA number on the outside of the package. Ship pump, freight prepaid, by traceable means to: SIGMA LLC. SIGMA LLC will not be responsible for unauthorized returns or units damaged in shipment due to improper packing.
Revision AA PR EVENTIVE MAINT ENANCE To ensure that the SIGMA Spectrum IV pump is operating within the specified parameters set forth by SIGMA LLC, perform the preventive maintenance tests in this section according to the mainte- nance schedule below. After each operation in this procedure, record the results on a copy of the Pre- ventive Maintenance Check Sheet at the end of this section.
SIGMA Manual Number 41019 Revision AA Preventive Maintenance Tests CAUTION: All testing and evaluations require fluid and air temperature of 72°F ±2°F. NOTE: The brand of IV sets being tested must be compatible with the pump under test. The proper IV set calibration is listed on the label located on the top of the pump.
