PERIODIC MAINTENANCE INSPECTION
Periodic maintenance inspections should be performed per hospital procedures for
compliance to accreditation requirements. It is recommended that JCAHO and/or hospital
protocol be followed for establishing an infusion pump periodic maintenance inspection
schedule. Product specifications for this inspection are listed in

The infusion system is intended to operate on battery power on an exception basis only,
such as emergency backup or temporary portable operation. Examples of emergency
backup include AC (mains) power failure or inadvertent disconnection of the AC (mains)
power cord. An instance of temporary portable operation includes patient transfer from
one location to another.
The infusion system should be connected to AC (mains) power whenever possible to allow
the battery to remain fully charged. The infusion system line power indicator disappears
and the BATTERY legend appears when the infusion system is operating on battery power.
Factors that most commonly affect battery life are the depth and frequency of discharge
and the length of the recharge period. As a general rule, the more often the battery is
discharged and recharged the sooner it will need replacement. The primary cause of
damage is leaving the battery in a less than fully charged state for any period of time.
Battery damage can occur in a matter of hours and cause a permanent loss of battery
capacity. The amount of lost capacity depends on the degree of discharge, the storage
temperature, and the length of time the battery was stored in a discharged state.
Note:
A permanently damaged battery cannot be recharged to full capacity.
When the battery discharges below the acceptable level while the infusion system is
operating, the alarm sounds and the LOW BATTERY message displays. Although it is not
recommended to continue operating the infusion system on battery power at this point,
the battery will continue providing power until discharged. At this point, the infusion
system enters the battery discharged mode and operation ceases.
