Periodic Maintenance
Daily Check
This Daily Check should be performed prior to programming an infusion. If the pump fails
any part of the Daily Check, take it out of service.
1.
Before using the pump, check for slippage of the plunger driver by applying gentle
back pressure.
2.
Check the plunger driver for free travel through its full range.
3.
Check the barrel clamping mechanism for proper locking, and check that it opens and
closes freely when either barrel clamp release is pressed.
4.
Check that the plunger assembly opens freely to its full travel and returns to a fully
closed position without assistance.
If connecting the charger, make sure that the charger plug and socket are clean and fully
engaged, and that the
ON CHARGE
light is lit when the charger is plugged in.
Battery Replacement
In general, the service life of rechargeable batteries is based on many factors, including
construction, size, usage, frequency of charging and discharging, and depth of discharge
prior to recharge. To minimize the chances of experiencing a problem with rechargeable
batteries, it is advisable to replace them before their service life is expended.
Baxter advises that pump battery replacement be made part of a regularly scheduled
maintenance program. Baxter recommends that the AS50 Pump’s rechargeable battery
be replaced every 16 months.
