Operating Precautions
Infusion Sets
• To ensure correct and accurate operation, only use BD single use infusion sets described in the 'Compatible
Infusion Sets' section of this Directions for Use. Use an infusion set with an anti-siphon valve whenever
possible. The anti-siphon valve prevents free flow from occurring if an infusion set is incorrectly loaded or
removed from the Pump.
• It is recommended that Infusion sets are changed in accordance with the Directions for Use.
Carefully read the Directions For Use supplied with the Infusion set prior to use. Use of non-specified Infusion
sets may impair the operation of the Pump and the accuracy of the infusion.
• When combining several apparatus and/or instruments with Infusion sets and other tubing, for example via
a 3-way tap or multiple Infusion, the performance of the Pump may be affected and should be monitored
closely.
• Uncontrolled flow may result if the Infusion set is not properly isolated from the patient i.e. closing a tap in
j
the set or activating an in-line clamp/roller clamp.
• The Infusion set may be fitted with an in-line clamp, which can be used to occlude tubing in case it is
required to stop fluid flow.
• The Alaris GW 800 Volumetric Pump is a positive pressure Pump, which should use Infusion sets fitted with
Luer lock fittings or equivalent locking connectors.
• To infuse from a burette, close the roller clamp above the burette and open the clamp on the vent on top of
the burette.
• Discard Infusion set if the packaging is not intact or the protector cap is detached. Ensure sets are not kinked
as this may occlude the tubing.
Mounting the Pump
Alaris™ GW 800 Volumetric Pumps
Operating Precautions
^
%;
$
• The fluid height in the container must not be more than 1 metre above the patients heart.
• Do not mount the Pump in a vertical position with the AC power inlet pointing upwards as this could affect
electrical safety, in the event of a fluid spill over the Pump.
Operating Pressure
• The pumping pressure alarm system is not designed to provide protection against, or detection of, IV
complications which can occur.
Alarm Conditions
• Several alarm conditions detected by this Pump will stop the infusion and generate visual and audible
alarms. Users must perform regular checks to ensure that the infusion is progressing correctly and no alarms
are operating.
• Alarm tone settings are preserved in the case of power loss, however some system faults will result in loss
of alarm settings. The new alarm tone settings will be stored when powering down from tech mode after a
change. The settings will be lost if a cold-start is performed, but should be saved for faults that don't require a
cold start.
Using Collapsable bags, Glass Bottles & Semi Rigid containers
• It is recommended that the air vent be opened on the Alaris GW 800 Volumetric Pump set if using glass
bottles or semi-rigid containers, to reduce the partial vacuum formed as the fluid is infused from the
container. This action will ensure the Pump can maintain volumetric accuracy whilst the container empties.
The action of opening the air vent for semi-rigid containers should take place after the spiking of the
container and priming of the drip chamber.
Steps for the Collapsable bags
Steps for Semi-rigid containers
Follow steps 1 to 3 as shown for
the semi-rigid containers, however
do not open vent as in step 4, but
prime the set as per step 5. Ensure
the bag outlet is fully pierced
before filling the drip chamber.

Operating Precautions
Operating Environment
• When using any infusion Pump in conjunction with other pumps or devices requiring vascular access,
extra care is advised. Adverse delivery of medication or fluids can be caused by the substantial variation in
pressures created within the local vascular system by such pumps. Typical examples of those pumps are used
during dialysis, bypass or cardiac assist applications.
• This Pump is suitable for use in Hospital and clinical environments other than domestic establishments and
those directly connected to the public single phase AC mains power supply network that supplies buildings
used for domestic purposes. (Consult Technical Service Manual, appropriately trained Qualified Service
Personnel or BD for further information).
• This Pump is not intended to be used in the presence of a flammable anaesthetic mixture with air or oxygen
or nitrous oxide.
Electromagnetic Compatibility and Interference
• This Pump is protected against the effects of external interference, including high energy radio frequency
emissions, magnetic fields and electrostatic discharge (for example, as generated by electrosurgical and
cauterising equipment, large motors, portable radios, cellular telephones etc.) and is designed to remain safe
when unreasonable levels of interference are encountered.
• Therapeutic Radiation Equipment: Do not use the Pump in the vicinity of any Therapeutic Radiation
Equipment. Levels of radiation generated by the radiation therapy equipment such as Linear Accelerator, may
severely affect functioning of the Pump. Please consult manufacturer’s recommendations for safe distance
and other precautionary requirements. For further information, please contact your local BD representative.
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): The Pump contains ferromagnetic materials which are susceptible
to interference with magnetic field generated by the MRI devices. Therefore, the Pump is not considered
an MRI compatible Pump as such. If use of the Pump within an MRI environment is unavoidable, then BD
highly recommends securing the Pump at a safe distance from the magnetic field outside the identified
Controlled Access Area in order to evade any magnetic interference to the Pump; or MRI image distortion.
This safe distance should be established in accordance with the manufacturers’ recommendations regarding
electromagnetic interference (EMI). For further information, please refer to the product technical service
manual (TSM). Alternatively, contact your local BD representative for further guidance.
• Accessories: Do not use any non-recommended accessory with the Pump. The Pump is tested and compliant
with the relevant EMC claims only with the recommended accessories. Use of any accessory, transducer or
cable other than those specified by BD may result in increased emissions or decreased Pump immunity.
• In some circumstances the Pump may be affected by an electrostatic discharge through air at levels close
to or above 15kv; or by radio frequency radiation close to or above 10v/m. If the Pump is affected by this
external interference the Pump will remain in a safe mode; the Pump will duly stop the infusion and alert
the user by generating a combination of visual and audible alarms. Should any encountered alarm condition
persist even after user intervention, it is recommended to replace that particular Pump and quarantine the
Pump for the attention of appropriately trained Qualified Service Personnel.
• This Pump is a CISPR 11 Group 1 Class B device and uses RF energy only for its internal function in the normal
product offering. Therefore, its RF emissions are very low and are not likely to cause any interference with the
nearby electronic equipment. However, this Pump emits a certain level of electromagnetic radiation which
is within the levels specified by IEC/EN60601-1-2 and IEC/EN60601-2-24. If the Pump interacts with other
equipment, measures should be taken to minimise the effects, for instance by repositioning or relocation.
• For further information on electromagnetic compatibility, please consult Technical Service Manual,
BDTM00005.
