Chapter 4 Maintenance, Service and Calibration This chapter discusses routine maintenance and calibration procedures for the user. User Care and Maintenance Storage Do not leave water inside the unit when storing or shipping. At the factory units are ‘dried’ before shipping by connecting a suction pump to each of connectors in turn for 2 minutes.
IDA-4 Plus Operators Manual User Performance Check The Calibration is set at the factory. For accurate Re-Calibration or resetting of Calibration the unit must be returned via the dealer. Users may wish to check for faults after a period of use or after shock to the unit.
Appendix A Infusion Devices Delivery Methods This Appendix gives an overview of and discusses different types of Infusion Devices and Delivery Methods Infusion Devices: An Overview Infusion devices may be grouped into two types, gravity controllers and infusion pumps. Gravity Controllers are powered devices which control the flow of the infusion to the desired rate by constricting the infusion line.
IDA-4 Plus Operators Manual Patient Controlled Analgesia (PCA) Pumps These are devices in which the patient is able to initiate a dose of the infusion solution for the relief of pain. Access by the patient to the pump itself is prevented, pre-programmed restraints are placed on the parameters of the boluses and, in addition, a basal rate delivery of solution outside the control of the patient may be provided.
Infusion Pump Analyzer Infusion Devices Delivery Methods Control against over-infusion is effective, but increased resistance to flow may result in under-infusion. The better controllers incorporate a flow status system in which users are provided with a visual indication of increased resistance to flow, which could mean that there is a ‘positional IV’...
IDA-4 Plus Operators Manual Infusion Pumps General Common to all pumps is the ability to overcome resistance to flow by increased deliver pressure. Pumps do not rely on gravity and can therefore be placed in almost any reasonable position relative to the infusion site (but not too high). The delivery pressure may rise to high values in some devices in the event of a catheter becoming occluded or displaced, with the danger of extra-vascular infusion.
Infusion Pump Analyzer Infusion Devices Delivery Methods automatic alarm and shut down if air enters the system; pre-set control of total volume to be infused with digital readout of volume infused; automatic switching to keep vein open (KVO) rate at the end of the infusion; comprehensive alarm systems; automatic switch over to internal battery operation on failure of mains supply, with the facility to use the device on internal battery power only, if no mains power is available (for example during transportation);...
IDA-4 Plus Operators Manual A feature of most PCA pumps is a memory log, which can be accessed either through the display, or downloaded via a printer or computer. This enables the clinician to determine when and how often, a demand has been made by the patient and what total volume of drug has been infused over a given time.

If these facilities are software enabled, by programming or smart card for example, in a pump that is otherwise suitable for other applications, they must be disabled before these pumps are used in any other application.
Power off the IDA-4. Connect the provided serial communications null modem cable or Fluke Biomedical’s serial cable (PN 2392046) between the IDA-4 Plus serial port and the computer. Make a note as to which PC communications port the cable is connected to.
IDA-4 Plus Operators Manual Controlling the IDA-4 Plus Using Serial Protocol The IDA-4 Plus allows the operator full flexibility with regard to the RS232 port. Capabilities include receiving and sending data at baud rates of 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200 and 38400. The baud rate used for transmission is held in the IDA-4 Plus non-volatile memory and can be changed at any time by the operator.
Infusion Pump Analyzer Computer Control Commands Perform a Volume Test [CnV,a,b,c] This command starts a flow / volume test on the specified channel. The IDA-4 Plus status all channels screen will prompt the operator to prime the channel. Once primed, the operator will have to press the Start key on the IDA-4 Plus front panel or send the [CnV] command again.
IDA-4 Plus Operators Manual Perform a Dual Flow Rate Test [CnD,a,b,c,d,e,f] This command starts a Dual Flow rate test on the specified channel. The IDA-4 Plus status all channels screen will prompt the operator to prime the channel and start the test.
