The Pump Module and Syringe Module Technical Service
Manuals are available from Cardinal Health. They include
routine service schedules, interconnect diagrams, component
parts lists and descriptions, test procedures, and other
technical information, to assist qualified service personnel in
repair and maintenance of the instrument’s repairable
components. Maintenance procedures are intended to be
performed only by qualified personnel, using the Service
Manuals, Maintenance Software and Maintenance Software
User Manual.
Artifacts: It is normal for an infusion device to produce
nonhazardous currents when infusing electrolytes. These
currents vary proportional to the infusion device flow rate.
When an
ECG
monitoring system is not functioning under
optimal conditions, these currents may appear as artifacts,
simulating actual
ECG
readings. To determine if
ECG
abnormalities are caused by patient condition or the
ECG
equipment, place the infusion device on hold. If the
ECG
readings become normal, the
ECG
equipment requires
attention. Proper setup of the
ECG
equipment should
eliminate these artifacts. Reference the appropriate
ECG
monitoring system documentation for instructions on setup
and maintenance.
