• Includes a relative-time clock

The Battery Manager communicates with
the main processor via a serial data
channel. The main processor issues
commands to the Battery Manager which
then responds with status information and
data using this channel.

1.6.1 Fan

The internal fan is used for cooling, mainly
to help prolong battery life. It is a ball­bearing, brushless DC fan. The fan is
always on when the battery is charging with
"Fast" or "Top-up" charge. The fan will go
on any time battery temperature is over
22°C.

1.6.2 Battery and Charging Process

The battery is a ten-cell (1.2V per cell), high
capacity nickel-cadmium type rated at
12 volts and 1.8 amp-hours (with a minimum
of 500 charge cycles).

The battery pack (10 to 18V) has a built-in
temperature sensor which allows the Battery
Manager to monitor the temperature of the
battery. The pack also includes a
temperature-limiting thermostat which opens
the circuit if the battery temperature gets too
hot and closes again when the temperature
returns to normal.

1.6 BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

(Continued)

1.6.2 Battery and Charging Process

(Continued)

The battery charge circuit charges the
battery with a constant current of 1 ampere
whenever the Battery Manager turns the
charger on. The Battery Manager regulates
average charge current by turning the
charger on and off with the appropriate duty
ratio. The battery charge cycle consists of
four modes; fast charge, top-up charge, float
charge, and hot charge.

• Fast Charge

: Fast charge is initiated
whenever the battery is less than 36°C,
and has been discharged by more than
200 Ampere-seconds through actual use
or self discharge. Leaving the instrument
unplugged for a day would cause about
200 Ampere-seconds of self discharge.
The charge current is a continuous
1 Ampere. The end of a fast charge is
detected when the temperature of the
battery rises 7°C above its temperature
at start of charge and is at least 30°C, or
when the battery voltage declines by
192mV below its peak value, or total
charge time exceeds 3.2 hours. Refer to
“Battery Charge Regulator” section in the
“Principles of Operation” chapter for
further details.

•T

op-Up Charge: The top-up charge
phase begins at the end of the fast
charge phase and finishes adding the
last few percent of charge to the battery
and balances individual cell charges.
This phase charges at an average rate of
180 mA (1 A for 0.9 seconds every 5
seconds) for 180 minutes. At that time,
the instrument will go into float charge
mode.

The charger will suspend top-up if the
battery temperature exceeds 37°C. The
time spent to cool down to below 37°C is
in addition to the 180 minutes top-up
charge time. If top-up cool down time
exceeds 5 1/2 hours, the instrument will
go into float charge mode.

• Float Charge

: The float charge phase
begins at the end of the top-up phase
and helps maintain a fully charged
battery. This phase charges at an
average rate of 40 mA (1A for 0.2
seconds every 5 seconds). The fan
remains on or turns on when battery
temperature exceeds 22°C.

• Hot Charge

: The hot charge mode occurs
when the instrument determines that the
battery is >36°C (normally due to
ambient temperature being >27°C) to
allow a charge after waiting 3 hours for it
to cool down. Hot charge mode charges
at an average rate of 180 mA (1A for 0.9
seconds every 5 seconds) for a total
charge time of 18 hours. If the battery
temperature exceeds 43°C, the charging
is turned off until the temperature falls
below 43°C.

Note that the cool down time is in
addition to the 18-hour charge time. The
float charge cycle begins at the end of
the hot charge cycle.

1.6.3 Refresh Cycle

A battery refresh cycle performs a full
charge, discharge, and recharge to
condition and measure the capacity of the
battery. This refresh results in a new
"Measured Capacity" in the battery
diagnostics and can be used to judge the
condition of the battery.

1.6.3 Refresh Cycle (Continued)

The refresh cycle must be initiated

Ah as the rated capacity in the battery
diagnostics page. After the zero rated
capacity is loaded and the OK soft key is
pressed, the original rated capacity must be
reloaded to preserve the battery gauge.
The empty ("E") icon will flash during the
discharge part of the refresh cycle (see
Figure 1-1). Important: The AC power must
remain connected and uninterrupted during
the discharge cycle. If the AC power is
removed during this cycle, the discharge
cycle will be terminated and another refresh
cycle will have to be initiated. The time for
complete refresh is dependent upon battery

temperature and takes an average of 20
hours to complete (refer to Figure 1-1).

Two ways to initiate a manual refresh cycle
are:

• Disconnect from AC, unplug battery, and
then press power switch. Lower LCD
will go blank. Reconnect battery and
then reconnect instrument to AC.

• Enter Diagnostics Mode, go to page D2,
Select Battery Status, and enter 0.0 Ah
for battery-rated capacity. Press Enter
and ok. Turn instrument off and back on,
and then reconnect to AC. Once the fan
turns on (indicating start of a refresh
cycle), return to page D2 and reset
battery rated capacity to 1.3 Ah.

1.6.4 Battery Gauge

The battery gauge provides an indication of
the approximate amount of charge
remaining on the battery. It will usually
indicate less charge than is actually
available with a new battery. This is
displayed in a bar graph format on the
lower LCD Display and is active as long as
the battery is connected to the instrument.
(Refer to Figure 1-2, Lower LCD Display
Layout.)

The battery gauge circuitry measures the
current flow into and out of the battery and
maintains a record of the state of charge of
the battery. This record is reset each time
the instrument completes a full refresh
cycle. The battery gauge uses this record,
together with a measurement of the present
power requirements of the instrument, to

estimate the charge available on battery
power at the current infusion rate.

NOTES:

• The instrument label and battery gauge
are always displayed, even when the
instrument is turned off; however, the
battery gauge does not represent the
battery charge remaining when the
instrument is turned off.

• To ensure a more accurate battery gauge
reading, review the battery gauge five
minutes after starting an infusion. The
gauge updates for each program change
while infusing. Battery run time may be
affected by the operating mode, rate,
monitoring options and back pressure.

1.6.5 Power On/Off

The Battery Manager provides the interface
between the power on/off switch(es) and
the main processor. When the instrument
is off, the Battery Manager interprets either
power switch as a turn on command and
applies power to the rest of the instrument,
informing the main processor which switch
was pressed. Once power is on, further
presses of a power switch are passed on to
the main processor which determines the
appropriate response under the existing
conditions. If the response is to turn the
power off, the main processor requests that
the Battery Manager remove power from
the rest of the instrument.

If an error has been detected which causes
the watchdog to be in alarm, pushing the
power switch (or for dual channel
instruments, either power switch)
immediately causes the power to be turned
off, without intervention by the Battery
Manager.

1.6 BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

(Continued)

1.6.6 Lower LCD Display

The Battery Manager also contains the
driver for the Lower LCD Display. In addition
to the battery gauge, this display contains a
four-character alphanumeric "configuration"
display and several icons. The information
for these other displays is controlled by the
main processor and is communicated to the
Battery Manager through the serial channel.
The Battery Manager also uses the four­character display to indicate errors detected
in the Battery Manager system itself.

1.6.7 Clock

The Battery Manager provides a "relative
time" clock which the main processor can
set and read. This clock consists of a 32-bit
counter which is incremented once a
second under all conditions. The main
processor uses this counter as a means of
determining elapsed time even when power
has been turned off. The clock is used to
compensate for normal battery capacity
degradation over time.

1.6.8 Battery Maintenance

Several features have been included in the
Battery Manager to help properly maintain
the battery.

• A battery capacity measurement is
available in diagnostic mode.

• A special circuit removes all load from
battery when voltage falls too low,
preventing damage from over discharge
due to long-term storage.

NiCad batteries can be stored indefinitely
with no load but will self-discharge from a
charged state in about 100 days. This does
not damage the battery as it would if it were
a lead acid-type battery. Connect
instrument to AC to recharge batteries.

Figure 1-2. Lower LCD Display Layout

• Use only batteries approved by ALARIS
Medical Systems, due to Battery
Manager requirements and the
thermostat contained in the battery
assembly. If the instrument has been in
storage, connect it to AC power before
turning it on. Usually one refresh cycle
is sufficient to restore battery capacity.
If necessary, repeat the procedure at
24-hour intervals, 2 or 3 times, to
increase capacity.

• Battery replacement should be
performed by qualified service
personnel while instrument is not in use.
DO NOT open, incinerate or short circuit
the battery. Worn-out batteries must be
disposed of properly, according to local
regulations.

NOTE: If under load (inside instrument), the

maximum storage time would be about 130
days before electrolyte extrusion occurs past
the battery seal.

If the battery exhibits short run times, a
reconditioning procedure can be used:

1. Disconnect battery and AC

2. Press On/Off switch and verify lower
LCD goes blank.

3. Reconnect battery.

4. Reconnect instrument to AC. A refresh
cycle will be initiated.

5. Repeat this procedure at 24-hour
intervals, 2 or 3 times, to increase
capacity or use a battery conditioner.

1.7 NICAD BATTERY CAPACITY
INFORMATION

All batteries have specific conditions under
which they are guaranteed to meet their
published specifications. Deviations from
these conditions typically result in a
reduction of available capacity.
Manufacturers of NiCad batteries rate
capacities, usually expressed in Ah, based
on a specified "ideal" charge and discharge
condition, as well as the use of a "new"
battery. Battery manufacturers do not use
the calendar year for battery date codes.
The battery date code year starts on
September 1. The first two digits of the date
code are for the year and the last two digits
are for the week of the year (for example,
date code 0411 = the year 2004 and the
eleventh week from September 1).

An ideal charge cycle starts with a fully
discharged battery charged at C/10 (C is the
rated capacity in Ah) constant current for 15
hours while at room temperature. For
instance, a 1.8Ah battery would be charged
for 15 hours at 180mA constant current with
a room temperature of 23°C.

The ideal discharge starts with a fully
charged battery under a C/5 constant
current load at room temperature,
discharging to a cell voltage of 0.9V. The
rated capacity is then calculated as the time
to discharge divided by 5. Again, a 1.8Ah
cell would be discharged at 360mA constant
current and not reach 0.9V for at least 5
hours. Note that a given battery type has
different capacities based on the load. For
instance, a battery rated at 1.8Ah at a
360mA load may have only 1.6Ah at a
1600mA load.

As can be seen from the preceding ideal
conditions, there are many conditions which
can affect the battery capacity. The
following conditions have the most practical
impact on battery capacity delivered in this
instrument.

•T

emperature During Charge:
As the effective ambient temperature of
the battery increases, the amount of
charge that the battery will accept is
decreased. At an ambient temperature of
35°C, an enclosed battery will
temporarily accept only about 90% of the
charge it would otherwise accept at
23°C. Because the batteries are internal
to the instrument case and the instrument
itself generates heat, the batteries will be
exposed to temperatures above room
temperature. Some of the ways the
instrument limits the temperatures that
the battery sees include forcing air
across it (an internal fan) and turning off
the charger when the battery temperature
gets too high.

1.7 NICAD BATTERY CAPACITY
INFORMATION (Continued)

• Cycle Life and

Aging:
As batteries get older and go through
many charge/discharge cycles, batteries
"wear out," in that the chemicals and
materials used to construct the cell break
down. The way the instrument deals with
this is to assume that a battery will
continually reduce capacity at a rate
equivalent to 30% over 4 years, and
continually reduce capacity at a rate
equivalent to 30% per 200 full charge
cycles. These calculated values are
used to reduce the displayed runtime on
the battery gauge.

• Partial Discharge/Charge:
When a battery is partially discharged,
then charged for less than the full time,
differences between individual cell
capacities result in cells completing
charge at different times. If the full
charge sequence is not then completed,
the cell "mismatch" becomes
progressively greater. This is viewed by
the user as low apparent runtimes and
premature low battery warning and
alarms.

The problem is cumulative in that the
mismatch increases for every partial
cycle. The lowered capacity is not
permanent, but may require 2-3 full
charge cycles to recover. The way the
instrument deals with this is to reduce the
displayed runtime based on a limited
history of partial cycles.

• Charge Rate:
The ideal charge rate requires 15 hours
to get to full charge, which is undesirable
from the user's perspective. The
instrument provides a multiphase charge
cycle which results in about 80% capacity

in the first 2 hours after fast charge. The
next charge phase, top-up, is designed to
finish the charge and to bring all
individual cells to the fully charged state,
essentially rematching them. Refer to
“Battery and Charging Process” section
in this chapter for “Fast Charge” and
“Top-up Charge” information. If the
top–up charge is not completed, then the
cell mismatch is not reduced and the
cumulative capacity reduction occurs.
Top-up is a 3-hour charge, but the
elapsed time to complete it may be over
5 hours, as the charger is turned on and
off to keep the battery cool during that
time.

• Battery

Alarm Voltage:
The battery alarm voltage is the voltage
at which the instrument stops operating
and generates an alarm indicating the
instrument needs to be connected to AC
power. As noted in the ideal discharge
condition, the end of discharge is
determined by 0.9V/cell.

Under perfect conditions, a battery of 10
cells connected in series would reach the
end of discharge at 9.0V; however, cells
are not perfectly matched so some will
reach 0.9V before others. The problem
occurs when a cell in series with other
cells can go below 0.9V and actually can
go into cell reversal, which permanently
damages the particular cell. On the other
hand, increasing the alarm voltage to
compensate for imperfectly matched cells
results in reduced runtimes with available
capacity.

1.7 NICAD BATTERY CAPACITY
INFORMATION (Continued)

The user sees this as premature low
battery warnings and alarms. The way
the instrument deals with this is to
increase the alarm voltage to guarantee
the battery is not damaged and to reduce
the assumed capacity to below that
printed on the battery. The battery gauge
is intended to show the minimum run
time left on the battery taking all these
factors into account.

NOTE: In the event ALARIS Medical Systems
provides different battery packs in the future,
the replacement battery may have a different
rated capacity. Therefore, the Battery
Manager of the instrument needs to know that
a new battery has been added and the rated
capacity has changed. Refer to the
“Removing Battery” section of “Corrective
Maintenance” chapter and the “Changing
Rated Capacity of Battery” section of
“Troubleshooting” chapter.

1.8 DYNAMIC MONITORING®SYSTEM
(DMS)

The following is general information
regarding the Dynamic Monitoring

®

System.

In order for fluid to move through the
administration set, a pressure difference
(gradient) must exist. In a gravity setup, this
is done by head height. In a pump, the
instrument will develop pressure to
overcome downstream effects on fluid flow.

The fundamental concept behind the
Dynamic Monitoring

®

System is that the
resistance to fluid flow from the mechanism
to the patient's infusion site can be
measured. This is done by intentionally
varying the flow rate while monitoring the
resulting changes in fluid pressure (refer to
Figure 1-3 "Resistance Graph"). Signal

processing of the pressure and flow data
can then produce the fluid impedance value.
Such measurements can be made
continuously at short intervals and be
independent of the selected rate. Head
height and resulting pressure variations,
likewise, will not affect the measurement.

When a complete occlusion occurs, the
resistive part of the fluid impedance is very
large (theoretically infinite). Elevated
resistances due to clotting, clogged filters,
partial occlusions or infiltrations can be
measured.

The Dynamic Monitoring

®

System provides
a means to measure the mechanical
properties of the downstream flow path.

Features include:

• Alarm setting is based on dynamic
system impedance (pressure changes,
not absolute pressure).

• Detection of complete occlusions.

• Reduced nuisance alarms by minimizing
artifact effects such as head height and
patient movement.

• AutoRestartPlus feature allows
instrument to automatically continue
operation if an occlusion is cleared within
self-check period (40 seconds). A
warning tone and “Checking Line”
message will occur for up to 40 seconds.
The feature can be turned off (set
restarts to zero), or number of restarts
may be set from 1 to 9.

NOTES:

• The restart counter is reset whenever
Run/Hold is pressed, the instrument or
channel is turned off or an alarm occurs.

• When infusion is started, the resistance
may be other than 0%, depending on
solution viscosity, catheter/tubing size and
filters.

• Resistance Alert provides an early
warning of slow or gradual changes in
resistance of IV line/site. Resistance Alert
marker can be set from 5 to 100%. It
allows resistance to be monitored and
provides a tone every 30 seconds if
percent resistance exceeds resistance
alert mark.

• Resistance display may be turned off. If
off, system continues to monitor
downstream resistance and alarm
appropriately.

2.4.4 Setting Air-in-Line Threshold

The air-in-line threshold sets the bubble size
sensitivity. The air-in-line reset allows the
clinician to respond to an AIR IN LINE
alarm, assess its clinical significance, and
choose whether or not to continue the
infusion without removing the air. The reset
feature allows only the current bubble to
proceed without tripping an alarm. The air
in line threshold value choices are 50, 100,
200 and 500 microliters.

The Accumulator setting, when on, looks for
10% to 15% of the downstream path to be
air before giving an ACCUMULATED AIR
IN LINE alarm. The amount of air that
causes the alarm will vary with the threshold
setting and rate.

An AIR IN LINE alarm is the result of the
bubble size exceeding the Threshold
setting. An ACCUMULATED AIR IN LINE
alarm is the result when 10 to 15% of the
downstream path is filled with air, exceeding
the accepted level looked for when the
Accumulator is set to On.

2.4.11 Setting Dynamic Monitoring

®

System

Features

The Signature Edition

®

Infusion System

incorporates the Dynamic Monitoring

®

System, a versatile intravenous site
monitoring system for detection of both full
and partial occlusions of the fluid pathway.

This system includes both precision
pressure sensing and continuously
computed Flow Resistance.

Flow Resistance measurement dramatically
improves the ability to detect partial and full
occlusions, particularly at low flow rates.
Resistance monitoring eliminates the impact
of patient elevation and flow rate, to provide
the most direct assessment of patient.

Both the Pressure and Flow Resistance
monitoring modes feature numeric and bar
graph displays of current values plus easily
selectable trend graphs, displaying up to
twelve hours of monitored values.

The Pressure Mode provides 1 mmHg
display resolution, with manual baseline
setting, and a user-adjustable alarm limit.

The Resistance Mode provides two ranges
and user-alert limit adjustment, to meet
neonatal to adult patient needs.

Many monitoring features and functions are
configurable, by qualified technical
personnel, to meet specific needs by
allowing customization.

Monitoring Mode Options

IV lines, catheters, and applications create
various levels of resistance to flow.
Monitoring mode options are available to
meet each clinical application, as follows:

• Monitoring Options: To select IV

line/site monitoring modes of resistance,
high resistance, and adjustable pressure.

Pressure: Highest occlusion method,
when set to a default of 600 mmHg,
when Resistance and High Resistance
modes are not sufficient.

Resistance: Designed to monitor IV
line/site resistance, providing optimum
sensitivity. Used for larger catheter sizes
(up to 24 gauge).

High Resistance: Designed to monitor
IV line/site resistance, with optimum
sensitivity where smaller (higher
resistance) catheters (26 or 28 gauge)
are used.

AutoRest

artPlus

The AutoRestartPlus feature provides the
ability to automatically continue an infusion
if downstream resistance or pressure
measurements indicate that an occlusion
condition has cleared with a 40-second
Checking Line period (excluding High
Resistance monitoring mode). If the
condition is not cleared, the OCCLUSION
DOWNSTREAM alarm occurs and infusion
is stopped until manually restarted.

The Checking Line message and tone are
presented whenever a resistance or
pressure measurement exceeds its alarm
threshold.

•

In resistance monitoring modes, the
Checking Line period is caused by a
measured resistance of 100% or a
pressure level exceeding a configured
threshold. This pressure threshold is
separate from the Pressure mode
threshold.

(continued)

2.4.11 Setting Dynamic Monitoring

®

System

Features (Continued)

If resistance measurements initiate the
Checking Line condition, the channel
will continue infusing in order to
determine if the measured flow
resistance has changed. In Resistance
monitoring mode, if the measured flow
resistance falls to any value below 100%,
the channel will resume normal operating
conditions automatically (excluding High
Resistance monitoring mode).

In resistance monitoring modes, pressure
measurements initiate the Checking
Line period when the pressure exceeds
the limit. If the pressure falls to less than
one third of the configured limit with 40
seconds, normal flow resumes.

• In pressure monitoring mode, the

Checking Line period is caused by
pressure exceeding the alarm limit. If the
pressure falls to less than one third of the
alarm limit within 40 seconds, normal
flow resumes.

Qualified service personnel can turn off this
feature (set restarts to zero), or program
from 1 to 9 restarts.

•

In High Resistance monitoring mode,
restarts do not occur for resistance
measurements.

After the programmed number of restarts
has occurred, the channel will immediately
alarm OCCLUSION DOWNSTREAM, if
pressure or flow resistance conditions
indicate an occlusion. The programmed
number of restarts become available again
when RUN/HOLD or the run soft key is
pressed.

NOTE: The restart counter is reset whenever
RUN/HOLD is pressed, the instrument or
channel is turned off or an alarm occurs.

Trend Graphs

Trend graphs display downstream pressure
or flow resistance over time (up to 12
hours).

In Pressure, Resistance, and High
Resistance monitoring modes, the trend
graph displays the flow pattern over time.
Downstream occlusions, which occur in the

Pressure or Resistance modes, will be
indicated by a vertical tick mark at the top of
the trend screen.

Trend graphs of fifteen minutes, one hour,
four hours and twelve hours are available
during normal operation.

flow continuity (time between pulses).
The instrument will divide each mL into
3600 parts and equally space these parts
into a virtually continuous delivery. With
Precision Flow, the longest time between
a part/pulse at 0.1 mL/h is 10 seconds.
As the rate increases, this time will
become shorter.

NOTE: Resistance measurement is
restarted at 0% when:

• RUN/HOLD is pressed to put on hold
and again to start.

• Dose ends in Multi-Dose mode.

• Checking Line message appears.

Checking Line alert applies to pressure,
resistance and upstream occlusion, with
one tone at the beginning and a flashing
popup display (on for 4 seconds, off for
6 seconds).

2.4.12 Setting Audio Volume

The volume settings determine which range
of audio volume is available. For example,
"Low" may be too low, therefore "Med Hi"
would be chosen. A transition tone, if
enabled, will sound upon completion of a
secondary VTBI, step in multi-step mode,
dose beginning and ending in multi-dose

2.4.16 Manual Baseline

Auto Baseline: The instrument reads a

baseline at startup and then adds the alarm
limit, to determine the point of alarm.

For example, if an alarm limit of
300 mmHg was selected, the instrument
would alarm at baseline + 300 mmHg. Auto
Zeroing occurs the first time RUN/HOLD is
pressed; this will be the maximum baseline.
Subsequent presses of RUN/HOLD will only
lower (not raise) the baseline.

Manual Baseline: Sets a fixed baseline and
overrides the Auto Zero level until the

2.1 INTRODUCTION

This chapter describes the initial setup and
configuration of an instrument with software
version 2.78.

2.2 NEW INSTRUMENT CHECKOUT

Refer to the instrument's Directions For Use
(DFU) for instructions regarding unpacking
and setting up the instrument for the first
time.

When turning on the instrument, verify the
instrument beeps and that all display LED
segments flash. This confirms that the
instrument has performed its self test and is
operating correctly. During operation, the
instrument continually performs a self test,
and will alarm and display a message if it
detects an internal malfunction.

Contact ALARIS Medical Systems
authorized service personnel if the
instrument has physical damage, fails to
satisfactorily pass startup sequence, fails a
self test or continues to alarm.

For new instrument checkout refer to the
applicable Signature Edition

®

GOLD Infusion

System DFU.

2.3 CONFIGURABLE OPTIONS AND
DEFAULTS

A hospital/facility biomedical technician has
the capability to set all configuration
parameters to their startup defaults in a
single operation. The terms "configuration
parameters" and "programmable features"
are interchangeable and have the same
meaning. Refer to the applicable Signature
Edition

®

GOLD Infusion System DFU for

more information.

Keep latch closed when instrument is
not in use.

CAUTION

Should an instrument be jarred severely or
dropped, remove it from use immediately. It
should be thoroughly tested and inspected by
qualified service personnel to ensure proper
function prior to reuse.

CAUTION

2.4 CONFIGURATION PROCEDURE

• When an instrument’s configuration is

changed, the configuration name
should also be changed in order to
document the new parameter settings.
The intent of the configuration name is
to have only one set of parameters for
each alpha-numeric code. Refer to
“Pop-Up Displays” section.

•

Powering down in configuration mode
during an alarm or error will NOT save
any configuration changes.

The configuration procedure is for use by
qualified service personnel only. The
configuration mode is intended for
programming the technical and clinical
features in accordance with current
procedures and practices.

Table 2-3, “Record of Configured
Instruments,” can be reproduced and used
to record and track instrument
configuration settings.

A map of all the configuration screens is
located at the end of this chapter (Figure
2-2).

2.4.4 Setting Air-in-Line Threshold

The air-in-line threshold sets the bubble size
sensitivity. The air-in-line reset allows the
clinician to respond to an “Air-in-Line” alarm,
assess the clinical significance of the air,
and choose whether or not to continue the
infusion without removing the air. The reset
feature allows only the current bubble to
proceed without tripping an alarm. The air
in line threshold value choices are 50, 100,
200 and 500 microliters.

The Accumulator setting, when on, looks for
10% to 15% of the downstream path to be
air before giving an “Accumulated Air-in­Line” alarm. The amount of air that causes
the alarm will vary with the threshold setting
and rate.

An “Air-in-Line” alarm is the result of the
bubble size exceeding the Threshold

setting. An “Accumulated Air-in-Line” alarm
is the result when 10 to 15% of the
downstream path is filled with air, exceeding
the accepted level looked for when
Accumulator is set to On.

1. From C2 page, press Air In Line soft

key.

2. Press Threshold soft key to select for
editing. Press again to cycle through 50

2.4.11 Setting Dynamic Monitoring®System
Features

The Signature Edition

®

Infusion System

incorporates the Dynamic Monitoring

®

System, a versatile intravenous site
monitoring system for detection of both full
and partial occlusions of the fluid pathway.

This system includes both precision
pressure sensing and continuously
computed Flow Resistance.

Flow Resistance measurement dramatically
improves the ability to detect partial and full
occlusions, particularly at low flow rates.
Resistance monitoring eliminates the impact
of patient elevation and flow rate, to provide
the most direct assessment of patency.

Both the Pressure and Flow Resistance
monitoring modes feature numeric and bar
graph displays of current values plus easily
selectable trend graphs, displaying up to
twelve hours of monitored values.

The Pressure Mode provides 1 mmHg
display resolution, either manual or auto
baseline setting, and a user-adjustable
alarm limit.

The Resistance Mode provides two ranges
and user-alert limit adjustment, to meet
neonatal to adult patients’ needs.

Many monitoring features and functions are
configurable, by qualified technical
personnel, to meet specific needs by
allowing customization.

Monitoring Mode Options

IV lines, catheters, and applications create
various levels of resistance to flow.
Monitoring mode options are available to
meet each clinical application, as follows:

• Monitoring Options: to select IV line/site

monitoring modes of resistance, high
resistance, and adjustable pressure.

Pressure: highest occlusion method,
when set to a default of 600 mmHg,
when Resistance and High Resistance
modes are not sufficient.

2.4.11 Setting Dynamic Monitoring

®

System Features (Continued)

Resistance: designed to monitor IV

line/site resistance, providing optimum
sensitivity. Used for larger catheter sizes
(up to 24 gauge).

High Resistance: designed to monitor
IV line/site resistance, with optimum
sensitivity where smaller (higher
resistance) catheters (26 or 28 gauge)
are used.

AutoRest

artPlus

The AutoRestartPlus feature provides the
ability to automatically continue an infusion
if downstream resistance or pressure
measurements indicate that an occlusion
condition has cleared with a 40-second
Checking Line period (excluding High
Resistance monitoring mode). If the
condition is not cleared, the OCCLUSION
DOWNSTREAM alarm occurs and infusion
is stopped until manually restarted.

The Checking Line message and tone are
presented whenever a resistance or
pressure measurement exceeds its alarm
threshold.

• In resistance monitoring modes, the

Checking Line period is caused by a
measured resistance of 100% or a
pressure level exceeding a configured
threshold. This pressure threshold is
separate from the Pressure mode
threshold.

If resistance measurements initiate the
Checking Line condition, the channel
will continue infusing in order to
determine if the measured flow
resistance has changed. In Resistance
monitoring mode, if the measured flow
resistance falls to any value below 100%,
the channel will resume normal operating
conditions automatically (excluding High
Resistance monitoring mode).

In resistance monitoring modes, pressure
measurements initiate the Checking Line
period when the pressure exceeds the
limit. If the pressure falls to less than one
third of the configured limit within 40
seconds, normal flow resumes.

•

In Pressure monitoring mode, the
Checking Line period is caused by
pressure exceeding the alarm limit. If the
pressure falls to less than one third of the
alarm limit within 40 seconds, normal
flow resumes.

Qualified service personnel can turn off this
feature (set restarts to zero), or program
from 1 to 9 restarts.

• In High Resistance monitoring mode,

restarts do not occur for resistance
measurements.

After the programmed number of restarts
has occurred the channel will immediately
alarm OCCLUSION DOWNSTREAM, if
pressure or flow resistance conditions
indicate an occlusion. The programmed
number of restarts become available again
when RUN/HOLD or the run soft key is
pressed.

NOTE: The restart counter is reset whenever
RUN/HOLD is pressed, the instrument or
channel is turned off or an alarm occurs.

6. Precision Flow: Selecting Pressure
Mode and running below 50 mL/h will
place instrument into Precision Flow
Mode.

Precision Flow addresses both flow
resolution (parts or pulses per mL) and
flow continuity (time between pulses).
The instrument will divide each mL into
3600 parts and equally space these parts
into a virtually continuous delivery. With
Precision Flow the longest time between
a part/pulse at 0.1 mL/h is 10 seconds.
As the rate increases, this time becomes
shorter.

2.7 PRESSURE OPTIONS

Pressure Display: Provides a bar graph

and indication of pressure in the line while
monitoring a single channel.

Pressure Alarm: Allows the choice of a
fixed pressure mode or an adjustable
pressure mode.

• Adjustable Pressure: Provides an early
warning of increases in downstream
pressure. Designed to monitor IV
line/site based on pressure, and provide
user- adjustable pressure alarm limits.
Used for the smallest of catheter sizes
and special applications; such as infusion
through transducers, into dialysis
systems, and for the highest resistance
catheters (including some neonatal PICC
catheters).

• Fixed Pressure: Designed to monitor IV
line/site pressure and alarm, based on a
fixed pressure limit of 600 mmHg. Used
when adjustable pressure is not wanted.
Used for the smallest of catheter sizes
and special applications; such as,
infusion through transducers, into dialysis
systems, and for the highest resistance
catheters (including some neonatal PICC
catheters).

Alarm: Provides an adjustable pressure
setting in 25 mmHg increments (25-600
range). This acts as the default setting after
the instrument has been off for more than
6 hours and the previous setting was
cleared. Pressure Alarm = Adj must be
selected to change from 600 mmHg.

Auto Baseline: The instrument reads a
baseline at startup and then adds the alarm
limit, to determine the point of alarm. For
example, if an alarm limit of 300 mmHg was
selected, the instrument would alarm at
baseline + 300 mmHg. Auto Zeroing occurs

the first time RUN/HOLD is pressed; this will
be the maximum baseline. Subsequent
presses of RUN/HOLD will only lower (not
raise) the baseline.

Manual Baseline: Sets a fixed baseline
and overrides the Auto Zero level until the
instrument is turned off, the latch is opened,
the set is reloaded, or the pressure baseline
function is performed again. This allows the
instrument to display the actual pressure
required for an IV to infuse. To get this real
time readout, Manual Baseline must be
On.

To activate this mode with the instrument on
hold, or at startup, press the Options key
and then select Set Pressure Baseline and
press ok.

When RUN/HOLD is pressed, the bar graph
will show the alarm point and the actual
pressure in the line will be displayed below
the bar graph.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

Chapter 3 — PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

3-1

3.1 INTRODUCTION

To ensure the Signature Edition

®

GOLD
Infusion System remains in good operating
condition, regular and preventive
maintenance inspections are required.
Regular inspections must be performed by
hospital/facility before each use.

Preventive maintenance inspections should
be performed once a year in accordance
with ALARIS Medical Systems requirements
and guidelines. Amaintenance reminder will
occur after 52 weeks, unless the feature has
been changed to select a different time
interval or has been disabled. These
inspections are also intended to complement
the intent of JCAHO requirements.

Use Table 3-1, "PM Inspections," to record
the completion of preventive maintenance
inspections.

3.2 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
INSPECTIONS

A message can be set through the
diagnostics mode which automatically
reminds the user when preventive
maintenance inspections are due. Refer to
"Setting Preventive Maintenance Interval"
section in the “Troubleshooting” chapter.

3.2.1 Regular Inspection

Regular inspections consist of a visual
inspection for damage and cleanliness, and
performing the procedure described in the
“Start-Up” section of the Directions for Use
(DFU), before each usage of the instrument.

Failure to perform regular and preventive
maintenance inspections may result in improper
instrument operation.

INSPECTIONS (Continued)

3.2.1 Regular Inspection (Continued)

Case

Examine the instrument for overall
condition. The case should be clean and
free from IV solution residue, especially
near moving parts. Also check for dried
solution deposits on accessible areas of air­in-line sensor, pressure transducer, and
latch mechanism. Check that labels and
markings are legible.

Mounting Bracket

Pole mounting bracket should be secure
and functioning. If the instrument is
mounted on a pole or stand, examine the
condition of the mount. Also, examine the
pole and stand.

Power Cord Assembly

Examine the power cord assembly for:

• Signs of damage, cuts or deformities in
the cord. If damaged, replace the entire
cord.

• Integrity of hospital grade power plug.
Attempt to wiggle blades to ensure they
are secure. If any damage is suspected,
replace entire cord.

• Appropriate tension and connection.
Applicable only if IV pole has electrical
receptacles for accessories.

• Strain reliefs. Examine strain reliefs at
both ends of line cord. Be sure they hold
cord securely.

Keypad

Check membrane switches for damage,
such as from fingernails and pens. During
the course of the inspection, be sure to

check that each switch performs its proper
function. Refer to "Testing Switches" section
of the “Troubleshooting” chapter.

Mechanism

Clean any surfaces where solution or
obstructions have accumulated. Verify:

• Mechanism seal is not torn or worn.

• Cam followers are not broken or cracked
and are free of foreign matter.

• Proper operation of latching mechanism.
Cam followers should retract and extend
smoothly.

• Air-in-line arm moves smoothly from
opened to closed position.

• Fluid Control Actuator rotates 180°.

3.2.2 Functional Test

1. Turn instrument on without set installed.
Verify it "beeps" and red alarm light
flashes.

2. Set infusion rate to 460 mL/h and VTBI to
100 mL.

a. Continue infusing from above step.
b. Verify rate is set to 460 mL/h. Clamp

off set just below instrument.

c. Allow instrument to run until it alarms

OCCLUSION DOWNSTREAM within
60 seconds.

d. Press RUN/HOLD switch to silence

alarm and put instrument on hold.
e. Release or open clamp.
f. Press RUN/HOLD switch to resume

3.2.3 Flow Stop Test

1. Turn power off with administration set
primed and loaded in instrument.

2. With all tubing clamps open and fluid
container 2 or more feet above
instrument, verify no fluid flows out of set.

3. Remove set. Verify no fluid flows out of
set.

3.2.4 Rate Calibration Procedure

To maintain system accuracy, the rate
calibration should be done first, followed by
a verification rate test, when doing
Preventive Maintenance or post repair
testing.

1. Change Cal # to "0.0" to run rate
calibration and calculate a new
calibration number.

NOTES:

• Once the Rate Cal # is set to "0.0" and
accepted, the instrument will need to be
run for at least two seconds before the
Rate Cal # can be changed to a non­zero value. If not, the instrument will
display Do Rate Accuracy Test at 0%.
The instrument will not allow one non­zero value to be changed to another
non-zero value.

• Rate Calibration is run at the nominal
value (0.0%) so that the percentage
can be directly entered in the
instrument without another calculation.

2. Run rate calibration (using an 80VCS
set) at 400 mL/h, with a VTBI of 40 mL
and VI reset to zero. Follow procedure in
“Post Calibration Rate Accuracy
Verification” section, steps 1-23, and then
determine rate calibration number (in %),
as shown below.

3.2 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

INSPECTIONS (Continued)

3.2.4 Rate Calibration Procedure (Continued)

Calculate volume accuracy as follows:

Volumetric Volume Accuracy
Error Computation

Vcollected =

volume in burette in milliliters

Vexpected =

characterized volume printed on
80VCS set insert

Step 1:

A = Vcollected / Vexpected

Step 2:

B = Ax 100

Step 3:

% Error (Round % Error to nearest
tenth of a percent.) = B - 100

NOTES:

• The range of the percent error can be

from -5.3 to +15.6%, based on
mechanism to mechanism differences
and performing the initial run for
calibration at 0.0%.

• In addition to performing this process

during Preventive Maintenance, this
process would also apply when
replacing a mechanism or installing a
new main board assembly.

3. Do not remove 80VCS set from
instrument until one of following is
determined:

• Instrument has passed Post

Calibration Rate Accuracy
Verification and calibration is not
needed.

• Rate calibration number was

changed and instrument now passes
Post Calibration Rate Accuracy
Verification.

• Mechanism replacement is required.

4. Reverse sign (+/- ) of % Error value from
Rate Calibration results in step 3.

Example:
Result is 4% high (+4%). Reverse the

sign (to get -4%). Number to enter for
Rate Cal # is -4%.

NOTES:

•

In the example above, the new Rate
Cal # tells the instrument to count more
volume per revolution of the
mechanism, so that the output will be
less due to fewer revolutions.

•

The limits for the rate calibration entry
are -15.6 to +5.3%, to adjust for
differences from mechanism to
mechanism. If the Rate Cal # is outside
this range, then the mechanism needs
to be replaced.

5. Enter new Rate Cal # for applicable
channel using keypad and bottom center
soft key (+/- ) for sign. Press ENTER.

NOTES:

• Make sure the "+/- " sign is used with

the percent change when doing rate
calibration.

• To change the rate calibration number,
refer to “Viewing/Changing Rate
Calibration Information” section in
“Troubleshooting” chapter.

return to beginning of D4 page.

NOTE: When the main board is changed,
the Rate Cal # defaults to 100% and 0.0
mL/rev. Reset the Rate Cal # to "0.0%" or
previous Cal #, to clear an Instrument
Malfunction message.

3.2.5 Post Calibration Rate Accuracy
Verification

Perform the following steps without
removing the 80VCS set or turning the
instrument off.

Due to the Dynamic Monitoring®Feature,
the rate is varied during operation. For this
reason, ALARIS Medical Systems does not
recommend using automatic testers to
check rate accuracy. Generally, these
devices collect small samples and may
cause results to be incorrect, even though
the instrument is accurate.

It is recommended, with the initial use of the
80VCS set on each instrument, to perform
rate calibration first, to save time.

Do not

use the Model 80VCS Calibration
Set for more than 15 rate calibration and
post calibration rate accuracy verifications
(count one use for both calibration and
verification of the same instrument).

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

4.1 INTRODUCTION

This chapter describes the mechanical and
electrical systems that comprise the Signature
Edition

®

GOLD Infusion System.

4.2 GENERAL INFORMATION

The main PCB for both the single and dual
channel instrument is a double-sided multi­layered Surface Mount Technology (SMT)
board. If a board is determined to have failed,
it can be replaced or the instrument can be
returned to ALARIS Medical Systems for
repair. ALARIS Medical Systems does not
provide replacement components for repair of
SMT boards nor does ALARIS Medical
Systems recommend attempting field service
of the instrument's SMT circuit boards.

Full board assembly schematics are not
included with this service manual.

The AC off-line switcher and RS-232 boards
are replaced as an assembly. If a board is
determined to have failed, it is replaced with a
new board (for part number refer to “Illustrated
Parts Breakdown” chapter). ALARIS Medical
Systems does not provide replacement
components for repair of these boards.

Both single and dual channel instruments
function in the same manner; however, they
use two different main PCBs. The component
reference designations are therefore different
for each board. To help distinguish between
the single and dual channel instrument
reference designations in this chapter, the
dual channel instrument will be represented in
parenthesis; for example, (U13).

Chapter 4 — PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

4-1

Signature Edition®GOLD Infusion System, Models 7130/7131 and 7230/7231

Technical Service Manual

4.2 GENERAL INFORMATION (Continued)

The instrument contains a peristaltic
pumping mechanism and support circuitry to
ensure controlled flow. The peristaltic
mechanism consists of a linear array of 12
cam followers which travel perpendicular to
the administration set. These cam followers
act like "fingers" kneading the membrane.
When the fluid-filled disposable is placed
against the array of cam followers, the
coordinated, sinusoidal motion of the cams
causes a peristaltic wave of fluid
displacement in the instrumenting segment
of the disposable.

The instrument will alarm at signs of
internal problems and at preset thresholds
for external problems (for example, when
battery charge falls below a critical level, or
instrument output pressure exceeds a
programmed limit). All alarms provide visual
and auditory signals to alert the operator.

Accuracy of fluid delivery is a function of the
microprocessor-controlled rotation cycle of

the camshaft, and the administration set
section compressed by the cam followers.

4.3 OVERVIEW

The instrument contains one main PCB and
several modules that interface to it. The
interfacing modules are as follows:

• LED module

• Graphic LCD module (MAIN)

• Lower LCD module

• Battery

• AC off-line switcher

• Keypad

• Nurse Call / RS-232 board

• Motor

• Air-in-line sensors

• Pressure module

• Motor rotation sensor and mechanism
latch detector (optocouplers)

• ECD board

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

4.3 OVERVIEW (Continued)

The instrument power is supplied through
the AC off-line switcher module and the
battery.

The main PCB contains all the control
circuitry required for the instrument. The
board can be broken down into four main
sections, as follows:

• CPU Kernel

The microprocessor, RAM, ROM, data
communication, and COMBO IC make
up the heart of the system. These are
collectively referred to as the CPU
kernel. The CPU kernel is responsible
for controlling the motor actuation,
sensing and responding to user input,
monitoring various system sensors, and
performing start-up and ongoing system
operational testing.

• Power System

The power system is responsible for
charging the battery, generating the DC
power, displaying battery status and
performing watchdog (clock sync checks)
functions. The power system includes
the Battery Manager custom IC.

• Motor Drive and Sensor Control

The motor drive and sensor control
circuitry drives the motors, the air-in-line
sensors, the mechanism latch sensors,
and the rotation sensors. The circuit is
also responsible for monitoring the
pressure sensors, the power supply
voltages, the motor current, and the air­in-line sensor outputs.

• User Interface Circuitry

The user interface circuitry connects to
the keypad, LED modules, and LCD
modules to the kernel circuitry for
monitoring and control. This circuitry
also contains the audio interface, and
audio test.

4.4 MAIN PCB

4.4.1 CPU Kernel

The CPU kernel is responsible for
controlling the motor actuation, sensing and
responding to user input, monitoring various
system sensors, and performing start-up
and on-going system operational testing.
The kernel is based on a 16-bit 80C188
microprocessor U11 (U15), 1Mbytes of
Flash EEPROM program storage, and 128K
bytes of battery backed up RAM data
storage. In addition, the kernel has 2K bits
of EEPROM memory and a selectable
baud rate for serial communications
interface.

The COMBO IC U10 (U14) is a custom
ASIC (Application Specific Integrated
Circuit) which incorporates timing, address
decoding, digital I/O, and other system
"glue" functions. The Combo IC has a 16­bit CRC generator which is used to
periodically test the Flash EEPROM data.
The COMBO IC also contains the local
serial interface control logic used to
