General Information
Introduction
The Alaris® GP Volumetric Pump and the Alaris® GP Guardrails® Volumetric Pump (hereinafter referred to as 'Pump') is a
small lightweight volumetric infusion pump that provides accurate and reliable infusions over a range of rates.
The pump is designed to meet the infusion requirements as specified in the Directions For Use (DFU) for all hospital
departments including general wards, critical and intensive care, operating rooms and accident and emergency rooms.
This pump is suitable for use by appropriately trained clinicians or nurses. This pump can be used for intravenous infusion
modes. Supporting fluid & drug therapy, blood transfusions and parenteral feeding.
Product Familiarity
Ensure that you are fully familiar with the pump by carefully studying the Directions for Use (DFU) prior to operation and
prior to attempting any repairs or servicing. As part of continuous improvement, product enhancements and changes are
introduced from time to time.
Purpose of this Manual
This Technical Service Manual describes how to set up, test and maintain the Alaris® GP Volumetric Pump and the Alaris®
GP Guardrails® Volumetric Pump.
This manual is intended for use by personnel experienced in medical equipment testing and maintenance procedures .

Precautions described in the Directions for Use (DFU).
This pump contains static-sensitive components. Observe strict precautions for the protection of static
sensitive components when attempting to repair and service the pump.
An explosion hazard exists if the pump is used in the presence of flammable anaesthetics. Exercise care
to locate the pump away from any such hazardous sources.
Dangerous Voltage. An electrical shock hazard exists if the casing of the pump is opened or removed.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
This pump is protected against the effects of high energy radio frequency emissions and is designed
to be fail safe if extremely high levels of interference are encountered. Should false alarm conditions
be encountered, either remove the source of the interference or regulate the infusion by another
appropriate means.
If the pump is dropped, subjected to excessive moisture, humidity or high temperature, or otherwise
suspected to have been damaged, remove it from service for inspection by qualified service personnel.
General Information
When connected to an external power source, a three-wire (Live, Neutral, Earth) supply must be used. If
the integrity of the external protective conductor in the installation or its arrangement is in doubt, the
pump should be operated from the battery.

Preventative Maintenance
Preventative Maintenance
To ensure the pump remains in good operating condition, routine and preventative maintenance inspections are
required. Routine maintenance inspections should be performed by hospital/facility before each use, see Directions For
Use for details.
Preventative maintenance inspections should be performed at least every year.
For the preventative maintenance inspection the following should be performed:
Full visual inspection of the pump, internal and external•
Fitting of all updates required•
Battery test and/or replacement•
Clean the pump•
Performance Verification Procedures
•
Following all spare part replacement and repair activities, testing must be performed in
accordance with the Performance Verification Procedure (PVP). Additional testing and
calibration may be required after certain repairs are completed, see table in Chapter 6
‘Corrective Maintenance’ for more information.
Visual Inspection
Open the pump, as per Chapter 6 ‘Corrective Maintenance’ and visually inspect the interior of the pump.
Visually inspect the exterior of the pump checking the following:
Labels should be replaced as required if not flat, legible or fully adhered.
•
Check Keypad for any sign of wear and replace as required. •
Case components must be checked for damage and replaced if necessary. •
Check the pole clamp is not damaged and that it functions correctly.•
Inspect the AC power supply plug and cable for damage.•
The case should be clean and free from IV solution residue, especially near moving parts. •
Check for dried solution deposits on accessible areas of pumping mechanism.•
Alaris® GP Volumetric Pump 20/84 1000SM00013 Issue 3
Preventative Maintenance
Recommended Cleaning and Storage
Cleaning the Pump: -
Before the transfer of the Pump to a new patient and periodically during the use, clean the Pump by wiping over with a
lint-free cloth lightly dampened with warm water and a standard disinfectant / detergent solution.
Recommended cleaners are:
Brand Concentration
Hibiscrub 20% (v/v)
Virkon 1% (w/v)
Do not use the following disinfectant types:
- NaDcc (such as PRESEPT)
- Hypochlorites (such as CHLORASOL)
- Aldehydes (such as CIDEX)
- Cationic Surfactants (such as Benzalkonium Chloride)
- Iodine (such as Betadine)
- Concentrated Isopropyl alcohol based cleaners will degrade plastic parts.
Before cleaning always switch OFF and disconnect from the AC power supply.
Never allow fluid to enter the casing and avoid excess fluid build up on the
Pump.
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents as these may damage the exterior
surface of the Pump.
Do not steam autoclave, ethylene oxide sterilise or immerse this Pump in any
fluid.
Storing the Pump: -
If the Pump is to be stored for an extended period it should be first cleaned and the internal battery fully charged. Store in
a clean, dry atmosphere at room temperature and, if available, employ the original packaging for protection.
Once every 3 months during storage, carry out functional tests as described in this technical service manual and ensure
that the internal battery is fully charged.
Cleaning and storing the Infusion Set: -
The Infusion Set is a disposable single use item and should be discarded after use according to hospital protocol.
Alaris® GP Volumetric Pump 21/84 1000SM00013 Issue 3
Preventative Maintenance
Recommended Cleaning and Storage (continued)
Cleaning the door: -
Periodically during use (as per hospital policy), clean the door by wiping over with a lint-free cloth, lightly dampened with
warm water and a standard disinfectant / detergent solution. Dry door before use.
To aid cleaning of a door which has been heavily soiled, contaminated or if the door operation is not free moving, then
the door may be removed (see procedure below) then immersed and soaked in warm water with a standard disinfectant
/ detergent.
The door should be allowed to dry fully prior to use.
Door Removal
1. Remove the screw securing the lower hinge lock.
2. Open the lower hinge lock.
3. Pull the door away from lower hinge pin and lift up to remove the door.
4. Clean the door.
5. Refit door in reverse order. Ensure screw is refitted with a torque of 70cNm.
Cleaning the Flow Sensor: -
Before the transfer of the flow sensor to a new infusion set and periodically during use, clean the flow sensor by wiping
over with a lint-free cloth lightly dampened with warm water and a standard disinfectant / detergent solution. Ensure the
connector does not get wet. Dry flow sensor before use.
To aid cleaning of flow sensors which have been heavily soiled, contaminated or if the handle operation is not free
moving, then the flow sensor may be immersed and soaked in clean soapy water (see note below). The inside of the spring
mechanism can be cleaned by activating it whilst submerged in the water.
After cleaning, the sensor should be allowed to dry fully prior to use.
Warning -
The plug of the flow sensor must not be immersed in water as damage will
occur.

Preventative Maintenance
Battery Test and Replacement
To test the battery perform the battery calibration, as outlined in the procedure in Chapter 2 ‘Configuration and
Calibration’, and verify that all pass criteria are met. If pass criteria are not met then replace the battery.
Battery charge retention will eventually degrade. So where retention is critical the internal battery should be replaced
every three years.
Replace the Main Battery
Remove the two case screws in battery cover, remove 1.
cover and battery.
Fit new battery.2.
Replace battery cover and secure with 2 screws.3.
Battery Cover
It is essential that the battery pack is
calibrated after fitting as failure to do
so will degrade the quoted auxiliary
battery power on this product.
