Operation Procedure
Start Reminder
Before the first solution delivery starts (when the pump is ready to start)
1.
The Start Reminder message appears flashing in the lower
section of the LCD.
2.
The buzzer sounds every minute of no operation.
* When the target concentration (Cpt or Cet) is 0.0, no message is displayed and no
buzzer sounds.
After the first solution delivery starts (when the pump is ready to start)
1.
The Start Reminder message appears flashing in the lower
section of the LCD.
2.
The buzzer sounds every 30 seconds of no operation.
*
When the target concentration (Cpt or Cet) is 0.0, no message is displayed and no
buzzer sounds.
↓
More than 2 minutes (when the pump is stopped)
3.
The LCD displays the Start Reminder screen (yellow) and
the buzzer sounds.
* Use the standby function (see page 65) to temporarily extend the Start
Reminder.
Warning
• Since TCI mode operation is based on plasma or effect-site concentration prediction, the user must observe the patient’s
condition, assuming there is always the possibility that actual concentration differs from the predicted values. If any
abnormality is found in the patient’s condition, immediately take appropriate measures such as manual dose or other
options for anesthesia. Improper TCI infusion with predicted concentration mistaken as actual concentration may result in
critical harm to the patient.
Cautions
• When infusing in the TCI mode, the following must be observed:
• Do not inject the same drug before starting solution delivery in the TCI mode.
• After ending the TCI mode, do not inject to the same patient again in the TCI mode during the period that the drug is
assumed to remain in the patient’s body.
• Do not inject the same drug from another route during solution delivery in the TCI mode.
• Do not use the Purge switch to inject drugs to a patient.
Otherwise, the prediction of concentration will be affected since the value is determined based on the calculation of
discharge quantity from the syringe in the TCI mode.
• Before starting solution delivery in the TCI mode, make sure all the settings such as the digits of target concentration
are correct. This product does not have a function to determine the correct values, possibly resulting in excessive or
insufficient infusion to the patients.
• If soft and hard limits are not activated before starting solution delivery, check the settings for any mistakes such as
an error in the digit of flow rate. This product does not have a function to determine whether or not the set values are
appropriate, possibly resulting in excessive infusion or insufficient infusion to a patient.
• Do not turn off the power or end the TCI mode while the TCI mode is in use. Otherwise, all important information on the
current TCI mode, such as the predicted concentration, will be erased.
• If any fault is observed, immediately stop the solution delivery and check the setting and the attachment status of the
syringe.
