Medfusion® Model 3500 pump V6 Operator’s Manual
Loading a syringe and syringe
model setup
Once a Drug Program or manual delivery mode has
been chosen, specify the syringe model and size, and
load the syringe. Pumps can be customized to allow
for use of a wide variety of syringe brands and sizes,
or can limit to as few as a single syringe brand.
If
a pump has been customized to a single syringe
brand, none of the following screens will appear
.
Syringe setup and loading is a multi-step process,
based on your daily practice of infusing patients with
medications or other fluids.
Use your facility’s standard protocol for preparing an
infusion.
WARNING:
Only use the Medfusion
®
Standard
Syringes Series 2 (supplied with PharmGuard
®
Toolbox 2, and included in the Medfusion
®
Standard
Configuration), or the models and sizes available as
part of the PharmGuard
®
Supported Syringes (PSS)
Series 2, and always confirm that the syringe model
and size displayed on the pump matches the model
and size loaded onto the pump. Use of unapproved
syringes may cause improper pump operation
resulting in inaccurate fluid delivery or occlusion
sensing or other potential hazards.

Note:
Pharmacy labels placed on the syringe may
interfere with the pump’s syringe sensors. To avoid
interference, place pharmacy labels at least 1 inch
from the flange (so that the Syringe Barrel Clamp
does not rest on a label), and orient the syringe so the
label faces upward and does not rest on the pump.
IMPORTANT:
Do not move the Syringe Plunger
Driver or otherwise manipulate the pump until the
startup tests are complete and the Profile selection
screen appears. Sensors are tested as part of the
startup process, and manipulating the pump during
this process may cause it to detect false sensor failures,
resulting in alarms.
1. Inspect the syringe to identify the model
and size.
2. Press a
number
key to select the syringe
model being used.
Note:
If, when the pump was powered up, the
syringe barrel clamp was pulled up and resting
on the pump handle, a Check Syringe Barrel
Clamp
alarm may occur immediately upon
selecting a syringe model (manufacturer). Press
í
to silence the alarm, press
Confirm
, then continue
with these instructions for loading a syringe.
3. It is now time to load the syringe. (The
arrows shown on screen indicate that the
syringe sensors detect that the syringe is not
loaded.)
