3.2 Preparing the Pump for Infusion
3.2.1 Installation Information

If the pump is to be operated with an infusion stand, care must be taken that the
pump is not positioned more than 1.4m above the ground to ensure stability. Ideally
use an "Arco Luxe" or "Arco Standard" infusion stand. If several pumps are mounted
one above the other the maximum permitted height from the floor must be observed
and measures taken to prevent instability.

The pump must not be fixed on poles with a diameter of more than 30 mm.

The pump may be fixed to the infusion stand by means of the pole clamp (29) on the
rear of the unit. The screw must not be tightened by means of tools. Hand tighten the
screw only, do not apply an excessive amount of force.

Permitted mounting: positioned on a flat horizontal surface or pole mounted on an
infusion stand or rail mounted)

Where possible mains power should be used. Plug the mains power cable into the
connector socket (23) at the rear of the pump. The mains pictogram illuminates as
soon as the mains supply is connected. The battery is charged automatically.
3.2.2 Inserting the Infusion Set and Choosing the Drug from the Drug Library
To turn on the pump, press the ON/OFF key (1). An acoustic alarm is emitted and
all displays are illuminated. Make sure the acoustic alarm and displays are working,
otherwise refrain from using the device.

Make sure, the label of the infusion set corresponds to infusion set the pump is
calibrated to. Make sure the packaging is in good condition so sterility of the infusion
set is given. Take the infusion set out of the packaging and close the roller clamp.

Insert the infusion set at the appropriate place into the container and fill the drip
chamber to one third. Purge the line by slightly opening the roller clamp until the
tubing is completely purged.

Open the pump door (12) by pulling the latch (13).

Pump with internal clamp: Starting with the left side, insert the IV set into the left and
right tube guides (A). Ensure that the flow direction of the pump from the left to the
right is respected and the tubing is in a straight line. In case a silicon IV set is used
verify the correct position of the silicon insert as shown in the front view of this
manual.

Pump with Robson Clamp: Position the Robson clamp on the tubing. In case of a
silicon IV set, position the Robson clamp just left of the silicone segment. Close the
Robson clamp. Hold the tubing with your right hand with your thumb positioned on the
Robson clamp. Starting with the left side, insert the IV set into the left tube guide (A).
Ensure that the flow direction of the pump from the left to the right is respected and
