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.

Alaris™ GW 800 Volumetric Pumps
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.

Secondary / Piggyback Infusions
Secondary (or piggyback) Infusion mode is only available if configured, refer to Configurable Options section of this DFU.
Secondary Infusion mode is used to administer an intermittent fluid / drug solution e.g. 4 hourly antibiotic infusion using:
• A primary infusion set with an in-line check valve before the Y-Injection site e.g. 273-003 or 273-303E.
• A secondary infusion set e.g. 72213 or 72213N.
Primary fluid container must hang lower (approximately 20cm lower) than the secondary fluid container to allow
w
the secondary infusion to run. Primary infusion will restart on completion of the secondary infusion.
1. Set the primary infusion, but do not start (refer to 'Starting the Infusion' section of this DFU). If Pump is running press
put Pump on hold.
2. Prime Secondary Infusion set, following the instructions supplied.
3. Close the in-line clamp on the secondary set.

service for examination by Qualified Service Personnel.
All preventative and corrective maintenance and all such activities shall be performed at a compliant work place
in accordance with the information supplied. BD will not be responsible should any of these actions be performed
outside the instructions or information supplied by BD.
2. Inspect case, keypad and mechanism for damage.
3. Check Start up self-test operation is correct.
4. Check for activation of both the alert indicator and audio function during the Pump start-up.
Clean the Pump by wiping over with a lint-free cloth lightly dampened with warm water and a
standard disinfectant/detergent solution.
Please refer to Technical Service Manual for calibration procedures. The units of measurement used in the calibration
w
w
procedure are standard SI (The International System of Units) units.
Keep this Manual for future reference during the Pump’s operational life.
It is important to ensure that you only refer to the most recent version of the Directions for Use and Technical Service
Manual for your BD products. These documents are referenced on bd.com. Paper copies of the Directions For Use can
be obtained free of charge by contacting your local BD representative. An estimated delivery time will be provided
when the order is placed.
Battery Operation
The internal rechargeable battery allows continued operation when the AC power is unavailable, for example during patient transfer or
AC power failure. The infusion time on battery is rate dependant, see 'Specifications' section of the DFU. From the battery low alarm it
will take about 24 hours to fully recharge when reconnected to the AC power supply, whether the Pump is in use or not. The battery is
automatically charged during AC operation and whenever the Pump is connected to the AC power supply and the AC power indicator is
illuminated.
The battery is maintenance free, sealed Nickel Metal Hydride and requires no routine servicing. However, to achieve optimum operation,
ensure that the battery is fully recharged after full discharge, before storage, and at regular 3 month intervals during storage.
Charge retention will eventually degrade. Where retention is critical the internal battery should be replaced every 3 years.
It is recommended that only Qualified Service Personnel replaces the battery. For further information regarding the replacement of
batteries refer to the Technical Service Manual.
Any use of battery packs that are not manufactured by BD in the Alaris Volumetric Pump is at your sole risk, and BD does not provide any
warranty for or endorsement on any battery packs that are not manufactured by BD. BD product warranty shall not apply in the event
the Alaris Volumetric Pump has suffered damage or premature wear, or malfunctions or otherwise operates incorrectly, as a result of use

Refer to the Technical Service Manual for further information regarding the RS232 interface. Since it is possible to
control the Pump using the RS232 interface at some distance from the Pump and hence remote from the patient,
responsibility for the control of the Pump is vested in the software run on the computer control system.
The assessment for the suitability of any software used in the clinical environment to control or receive data from
the Pump lies with the user of the equipment. This software should include detection of the disconnection or other
failure of the RS232 cable. The protocol is detailed in the Technical Service Manual and is for general information
only.

Trumpet and Flow Rate Curves
Trumpet and Flow Rate Curves
In this Pump, as with all infusion systems, the action of the pumping mechanism and variations cause short-term fluctuations in rate
accuracy.
The following curves show typical performance of the system in two ways: 1) the accuracy of fluid delivery over various time periods is
measured (trumpet curves), and 2) the delay in onset of fluid flow when infusion commences (start-up curves).
Trumpet curves are named for their characteristic shape. They display discrete data averaged over particular time periods or 'observation
windows', not continuous data versus operating time. Over long observation windows, short term fluctuations have little effect on
accuracy as represented by the flat part of the curve. As the observation window is reduced, short term fluctuations have greater effects
as represented by the mouth of the trumpet.
Knowledge of system accuracy over various observation windows may be of interest when certain drugs are being administered. Short
term fluctuations in rate accuracy may have clinical impact depending on the half-life of the drug being infused and the degree of inter
vascular integration, the clinical effect cannot be determined from the trumpet curves alone.
The start-up curves represent continuous flow versus operating time for two hours from the start of the infusion. They exhibit the delay
in onset of delivery due to mechanical compliance and provide a visual representation of uniformity. Trumpet curves are derived from
the second hour of this data. Tests performed per IEC60601-2-24 standard.

Technical Description
Technical Description
The following details outline the basic safety checks designed into the Pump to minimise the possibility of under or over infusions.
Power on Self-Tests
The Pump is single fault tolerant, which means the Pump will either stop and alarm, or continue to infuse uninterrupted as a result of a
single fault failure. During the power on self-test sequence the Pump automatically performs system integrity checks and will alarm and
display
M should any of these tests fail. Refer to 'Power On/Off' section of this DFU.
Air-in-Line
Two ultrasonic transducers continuously check for the presence of air in the Infusion set throughout the infusion. This air-in-line feature
operates in two modes:
• Single Bubble Detection - The Pump will alarm and display
volume alarm limit is detected. The alarm limit can be configured to 50, 100, 250 or 500 µL. See also 'Configurable Options' section
of this DFU.
• Air-in-Line Accumulation - This accumulation feature monitors the volume of air that passes through the Infusion set by
accumulating the volume of individual bubbles over a 15 minute window. This feature is particularly useful with infusions for
patients that are highly sensitive to air (i.e. infants, paediatrics) or when infusing products that create significant volumes of small
air bubbles.
Although an individual bubble may not exceed the pre-programmed threshold, the additive volume of bubbles in a
w
15 minute volume may be sufficient to initiate an air-in-line alarm indicated by an Air OCCL message.
J whenever a single air bubble greater than the air in line
Downstream Occlusion Pressure
The Pump includes a pressure sensor to monitor the downstream Infusion pressure. When the IV pressure exceeds the alarm pressure
limit, as a result of, for example kinked IV tubing or blocked cannula, the Pump will alarm and display
To compensate for the variability in Infusion set tubing the Pump performs a relative, baseline pressure measurement. The Pump takes a
reference pressure from the IV line when the infusion commences and alarms at a preset limit above the baseline pressure. The pressure
alarm limits are 250, 350 and 500 mmHg above the baseline pressure, corresponding to the low, normal or high, pressure limits. To avoid
excessively large pressures the Pump is capped at 1000 mmHg.
P.
Upstream Occlusion Pressure
To detect upstream occlusions resulting from, for example, closed clamps or occluded drip chamber filters the Pump continuously
monitors the upstream IV tubing pressure. Upon detection of an occlusion the Pump will alarm and display
the ultrasonic transducers of the air sensor to monitor for upstream occlusions and is therefore unable to differentiate an upstream
occlusion from an air bubble.
J. The Pump uses
Pump Based Free Flow Protection
The Pump is equipped with a flow stop mechanism that is designed to occlude the IV tubing when the Pump door is open and the
tubing remains properly loaded in the Pump. Raising the flow stop mechanism lever arm and pushing it to the right activates this
mechanism. Once activated, the user inserts the IV tubing into the tubing guide channel.
When the Pump door is closed, the bevel integrated into the door releases the lever arm such that it will automatically occlude the
tubing when the door is re-opened. (Refer to 'Features of the Alaris GW 800 Volumetric Pump') The tubing can be removed from the
tubing guide channel by repeating the activation of the lever arm. Once the lever arm is re-activated and the door is opened, the flow
stop mechanism no longer occludes flow in the tubing.
Anti-Bolus Function
The anti-bolus function is designed to reduce the bolus that may occur upon the release of an occlusion following a downstream
occlusion alarm. (Detection of a downstream occlusion is indicated by a
to neutral within 15 seconds by pumping backwards briefly and measuring the Infusion set line pressure through the in-line pressure
detection system. This feature can prevent the fluid bolus to the patient that can occur upon the release of an occlusion, which may be
caused by a downstream clamp.
P alarm.) The Pump returns the Infusion set line pressure
