Maintenance
Routine Maintenance Procedures
To ensure that this pump remains in good operating condition, it is important to keep it clean and carry out the routine
maintenance procedures described below. All servicing should only be performed by a qualified service engineer with reference
to the Technical Service Manual (TSM).
Circuit diagrams and components parts lists and all other servicing information which will assist the qualified service engineer
in performing repair of the parts designated as repairable are available upon request from CareFusion.
INTERVAL
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
As per Hospital policy.
Thoroughly clean external surfaces of the pump before and after prolonged period of
storage.
At least once per year
(Refer to TSM for identification
of parts)
1. Inspect AC power supply plug and cable for damage.
2. Perform functional tests as outlined in the Technical Service Manual.
3. Operate the pump on battery power until the battery low alarm then charge the battery
to confirm battery operation and charging.
A
Please refer to Technical Service Manual for calibration procedures. The units of measurement used in the
calibration procedure are standard SI (The International System of Units) units.
The Battery Management System incorporates features which enhance battery maintenance in order to maximize the life of the
battery, reduce associated costs and increase pump availability. The system provides:
•
Green : lights when pump is plugged in.
•
Amber : flashes when pump is operating on battery power.
•
Automatic battery power: if pump is unplugged or in the event of a power failure.
•
Low battery alert: indicates battery depletion is imminent, beginning at least 30 minutes prior to a Battery Depleted
alarm.
Maximum battery capacity, as well as optimal gauge accuracy, is reached after several complete charge/discharge/recharge
cycles in the refresh process. It is recommended that the battery be fully charged/discharged/recharged, using the refresh cycle,
before placing the pump in use. Reference the Technical Service Manual for detailed information on the refresh cycle.
The battery recharges whenever the pump is plugged into an AC outlet.
The battery can be replaced when charging capacity gets too low.
All batteries gradually lose their capacity to hold a charge over time and use. To maintain optimal battery performance, ensure
the pump is connected to AC power whenever possible, including when it is powered off or stored.
Following certain battery depleted conditions it is necessary to reset the internal clock so the CQI Reporter data integrity is
maintained.

Test Routines
The test routines are designed to allow confirmation of many of the pump functions, defaults and calibrations without requiring
internal inspection. They do not represent a full calibration check.
