*Single Bubble Alarm Volume
Although an individual bubble may not exceed the pre-programmed threshold, the
accumulative volume of bubbles, in a 15 minute window, may be sufficient to initiate an air-inline alarm, indicated by an “Air OCCL” message.
Before making any amendments to configuration settings:
Care should be taken to document existing configuration settings to enable changes
to be reverted if required. Configuration requirements may vary from ward to ward
therefore care should be taken to ensure any configuration settings are appropriate
for the ward concerned and users are aware of any changes to configuration settings
prior to use.
Subsequently, sharing of Alaris® GW Volumetric Pumps between wards may be
inappropriate.
This section outlines the procedures for calibration of the Alaris® GW Volumetric Pump.
All of these calibrations should only be carried out by qualified biomedical engineers. If in any doubt about how to perform the tests,
in particular the pressure sensor calibration checks, contact your local Cardinal Health Service Centre who will be able to assist.
Calibration procedures
Recommended Calibration Equipment
Specialised test equipment is not required for the majority of the functional tests to be carried out on the pump. In order to calibrate
or verify the occlusion alarm point or volumetric accuracy, the following equipment will be necessary:

This test is used to confirm that the pumping accuracy of the system as a whole, including the tubing, is within the specified limits.
In the most controlled conditions, a needle should be used to pump liquid into the weighing beaker to prevent liquid touching the
sides of the beaker and to provide some back-pressure so that leaks/overflows do not affect the readings. As a result of these and
other errors, if the system fails just marginally, it is worth performing the test a second time. If it still fails, return the pump to your local
ALARIS® Service Centre for further analysis. The head height on IV infusion set should be approximately 30cm.

In this state the pump will stop the infusion and give an audible and visible warning to alert the user that a non recoverable
alarm (registered on the pump as a Fatal alarm) has occurred. With the exception of a micro-controller (MCU) error or internal
communications fault with the external EEPROM, each alarm condition is identified by a unique code, which is stored in the alarm
history log each time an alarm occurs, to enable the qualified service engineer to trace the error condition. From a non recoverable
alarm the user is able only to enter the POWER DOWN mode. The non recoverable conditions are defined in the alarm code table.
Recoverable Alarms
In this state the pump stops the infusion and gives an audible and visible warning to alert the user to the alarm condition, and to
provide an indication of the nature of the alarm. Each alarm is identified by a unique code, which is stored in the alarm history log each
time an alarm occurs to enable the technician to trace the alarm condition.
The recoverable alarms are defined in the alarm code table. After a recoverable alarm has occurred, the pump responds only to the
following three actions: the user may temporarily silence the alarm for one minute by depressing the key; this action will suspend
only the audible indicator, with the visual message remaining. After one minute the audible indicator will return.
The pump may be switched off directly from the ALARM mode by depressing and holding the key, to initiate the power down
sequence. If the power down sequence is not completed, then the pump immediately returns to the ALARM mode and initiates the
audible alarm.
To return the pump to the “HoLd” mode, the user presses the key; this action clears the alarm message on the main display and
silences the audible indicator.
The pump is designed to be serviced generally to major assembly level. The PCBs are designed as non-serviceable items and as such,
can only be replaced as complete parts.
Cardinal Health will make available, on request, circuit diagrams, which will assist appropriately qualified technical personnel to repair
those parts of the pump which are designated by the manufacturer as repairable.
The main circuitry within the Alaris® GW Volumetric Pump is contained on three printed circuits boards - Control PCB, Power Supply
and Communications PCB, and a small Pressure Sensor and Encoder PCB and additional plug in sensors.
Control Board
Microcontroller Block
All control and display functions are controlled by this part. Safety functions are spread around the pump with various parts. The
controller is supported by a watchdog and power reset circuit. An EEPROM is used to store logged data for the pump. There is a
battery backed real-time clock.
Power Control Block
Raw DC power is connected from the Power Supply unit to JP1 connector. In the event of the raw DC exceeding 36 volts, components
form a crowbar. Components form a 12 volt Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS). Components form a 12-volt monitor circuit for the
Microcontroller. The battery is connected to pin 3 of JP1 and is constantly charged when connected to the mains. Components form
a 5-volt reference voltage to the main processor. A switch mode regulator supplies 5-volts (VCC) to the pump. There are two 5-volt
crowbar protection circuits.
Motor Driver
A Microcontroller I/O is used to control the motor speed. The modulated signal is smoothed to a DC voltage appropriate to control
motor speed. Relay 1 is used to reverse the voltage applied to the motor. This reversal is used for some modes of operation. Safety
devices stop the motor if necessary.
User Interface
Microcontroller drives the seven segment displays and the LEDs. The keyboard is scanned for key depressions .The display currents are
monitored. Time division multiplexing enables complete control of a user interface display and input with the Microcontroller.
Air-in-line sensor
A phase shift oscillator drives the Air-in-Line sensor; the output of the phase shift oscillator signal is fed into a voltage controlled
oscillator. The signal is transmitted through the fluid filled tubing and received by the ultrasonic sensor. The received signal is then
passed through a window detector and then to a level detector and input into the Microcontroller.
Air-in-Line
Two ultrasonic transducers continuously check for the presence of air in the IV infusion set throughout the infusion. This air-in-line
feature operates in two modes:
Single Bubble Detection - The pump will alarm and display Air OCCL whenever a single air bubble greater than the air-in-line volume
alarm limit is detected. The alarm limit can be configured to 50, 100, 250 or 500µl. See also “Configurable Options” section of Chapter 2.
Air-in-Line Accumulation - This accumulation feature monitors the volume of air that passes through the IV infusion set by
accumulating the volume of individual bubbles over a 15 minute window. The accumulation will alarm if more than 500µL of air is
registered. This feature is particularly useful with infusions for patients that are highly sensitive to air (i.e., neonates, paediatrics) or
when infusing products that create significant volumes of small air bubbles.
Flow sensor
The flow sensor is input into the Main Processor.
Door sensor
A Hall effect sensor detects if the door is open or closed and a Microcontroller reads the state of the sensor.
Buzzer
The Microcontroller is used to switch on the alarm (buzzer).
Audio Alarm
The input to the Audio alarm section is driven by a signal from the Microcontroller, fed into a phase shift oscillator and through an RC
network to remove any DC present on the signal. The signal is amplified and drives the speaker.
The selection of 115V or 230V is made via S1. The secondary is rectified to an unregulated DC Voltage. F2 is a Polyswitch resetable fuse.
The raw DC is output to the Control PCB. The battery is connected via JP3, the maximum current being limited by F1.
RS232 & Nursecall
The external RS232 connection is made via JP5 where power for the 4kV isolated interface is taken from pins 4 and 7. This voltage is
converted to a 5-volt supply and in turn converts the RS232 communications levels to TTL which are then sent to the Microcontroller.
The Nursecall interface is controlled from the Microcontroller to energise the relay which causes the contact to change over.
IrDA Module
IrDA or RS232 is selectable. The IrDA communication signal is output from IC7.
Pressure Sensor and Encoder Board
Motor encoder
Diodes D1 and D2 are the emitters in the motor encoder and OPT1 and OPT2 being the receivers. The signals are sent to the Control
PCB where they are used in conjunction with the Pressure Sensor and Encoder PCB to provide a quadrature detection scheme from the
rotary encoder on the drive motor. These signals are then processed via the Microcontroller.
Pressure sensor
The strain gauge is connected to the Pressure Sensor PCB, the sensor o/p signal is then amplified and then output to the Control PCB
and used to provide a second stage of amplification for the pressure sensor signal. This signal is processed via the Microcontroller.
These instructions apply only to the Alaris® GW Volumetric Pumps. Ensure the pump is disconnected
from AC power supply and switched off before attempting to service the pump.
The pump contains static-sensitive components. Observe strict precautions for the protection of staticsensitive components when attempting to service and repair the pump. As a minimum, carry out all
servicing on a workbench with a static dissapative surface and wear a grounded wrist strap.
Ensure that all test and calibration procedures are carried out as recommended in the service manual
after any component fitting.
For fastener torque settings, refer to Appendix C Fitting & Replacement Guidelines.
For additional technical assistance, contact your local Cardinal Health Service Centre.

In order to replace a front case, it will be necessary to fully strip down the old case and insert all of the components into the new
1.
front case. The task requires a good knowledge of the pump, so be certain that you are fully conversant with all of the procedures
in this section before undertaking this replacement. In order to simplify the task, new front cases are supplied with the flow stop
mechanism, air sensors, and the finger and pressure sensor covers already fitted, so it is not necessary to remove these from the
old case.
For each sub-assembly to be stripped down, follow the instructions in the relevant section of this manual. The recommended
2.
order for stripping down a front case is described below :
Separate the front and rear case halves;
Remove the Control PCB;
Remove the door assembly;
Remove the Pumping block assembly (keeping the motor on the chassis);
Remove the pressure sensor.
When re-assembling these sub-assemblies into the new case, it is advisable to simply reverse the order of dis-assembly.
3.
It will also be necessary to apply a new front panel label, door label and flow direction label at the
end of assembly. These labels are language specific. Refer to the “Spare Parts Listing” in this service
manual to ensure that you order the correct label set. The part number should also be shown on the
labels that were removed from the old case.
Write the serial number of the pump on the label provided and stick it onto the inside of the new
case.
Unscrew the four screws, collect two washers that secure the pumping block to the front case, two of which are located behind
3.
the label and two that are near the door hinge.
It should now be possible to push out the pumping block and completely separate it from the front case. When doing this, take
4.
care not to lose any of the pumping fingers, or copper finger strip, which will be free to fall out when the main chassis is removed.
Retain all of them for re-assembly later.
Reassemble in reverse order. Tighten the countersunk screws first, then the pan head screws. Ensure the pumping fingers are
5.
the correct way around with the narrow curved end in contact with the tubing. Fit a new flow direction label to the front of the
pump.
IMPORTANT: Recommended when serviced, grease should be applied a minimum of once every 12
months.
The Alaris® GW Volumetric Pump uses Molykote grease (F) to lubricate the moving mechanical
parts of the pumping mechanism to reduce the current draw of the pump. Only Molykote PG54
grease has been approved as compatible with the pump components. Each of the cams should
have a thin layer applied to the circumference so that the fingers run smoothly over the cam face.
The grease can be applied by a lint-free cloth or finger for example, to achieve an even layer over
each cam.

Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the
following symbol:
Note 1—At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
Note 2—These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects,
and people.
Note 3—Compliance levels raised by EN 60601-2-24.
a The compliance levels in the ISM frequency bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz and in the frequency range 80 MHz to 2.5 GHz are intended to
decrease the likelihood that mobile/portable communications equipment could cause interference if it is inadvertently brought into patient areas. For
this reason, an additional factor of 10/3 is used in calculating the recommended separation distance for transmitters in these frequency ranges.
b Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and
FM radio broadcast, and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF
transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the pump is used exceeds
the applicable RF compliance level above, the pump should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional
measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the pump.
c Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 10 V/m.
Recommended Separation Distances for LIFE SUPPORT Equipment between
portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the Alaris® GW Volumetric Pump
The Alaris® GW Volumetric Pump is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances
are controlled.
The user of the Alaris® GW Volumetric Pump can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance
between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the Alaris® GW Volumetric Pump as recommended
below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.

Note 1—At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range apply.
Note 2—The ISM (Industrial, Scientific, and Medical) bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz are 6.765 MHz to 6.795 MHz; 13.553 MHz to 13.567 MHz; 26.957
MHz to 27.283 MHz; and 40.66 MHz to 40.70 MHz.
Note 3—An additional factor of 10/3 is used in calculating the recommended separation distance for transmitters in the ISM frequency bands between
150 kHz and 80 MHz and in the frequency range 80 MHz to 2.5 GHz to decrease the likelihood that mobile/portable communications equipment could
cause interference if it is inadvertently brought into patient areas.

A wide range of self-tapping fasteners are available.
PT screws are for plastic, self-tapping applications.
Almost all fasteners on the Asena® GW Volumetric Pump are self tapping and have the potential to be over tightened (over torqued).
The force required to create a thread for the first time is more than when reassembling a previously made joint.
Always use the correct torque level when first making an assembly stage.
Take care with the torque applied when re-assembling parts. Less torque is required, so a hand tool may be more appropriate.
In many situations a stripped thread will require replacement of the failed component.
The head patterns of the fasteners are of the following types:
- Pozi Number 1 (smaller X head)
- Pozi Number 2 (larger X head)
- Torx Number T8 (Small star profile, used typically on countersunk parts with smaller heads).
- Torx Number T10 (Medium star profile)
- M6 nut
Always select the correct tool and bit pattern for the fastener.
Torque guide
The following list outlines the torque levels established during pump manufacture.
Torque levels selected apply throughout product life for the Asena® GW Volumetric Pump.
Use this information as a guide to the 'do not exceed' torque levels when servicing the pump. When servicing it is recommended that
torque is applied gradually until the component is secure. In any process do not exceed the stated levels.
If a torque driver is available for servicing, this will help control the applied torque; otherwise, be aware that excess force may cause the
component to fail.
