General Warnings and Cautions are included here. Additional Warnings
and Cautions appear throughout the manual.
Warning messages indicate a possible hazard which, if not avoided,
could result in severe personal injury or death.
Caution messages indicate a problem or unsafe practice which, if not
avoided, could result in minor or moderate personal injury, product or
property damage.
Note messages provide supplemental information to the accompanying
text.
The COLLEAGUE 3 CXE pump is intended for use in delivering multiple infusions
to a single patient. Never use the pump to deliver infusions to more than one
patient simultaneously.
Do not use this pump in Linear Accelerator Radiation Therapy suites or Magnetic
Resonance Imaging Suites.
The pump has not been evaluated for use in hyperbaric chambers. Use in these
areas may result in operation that is not within the constraints and parameters of
the device.
The pump has not been evaluated for compatibility with Extracorporeal Membrane
Oxygenation (ECMO) systems.
Epidural administration of drugs other than those indicated for epidural use could
result in serious injury to the patient.
•Epidural administration of anesthetics is limited to short term infusion (not to
•Epidural administration of analgesics is limited to use with indwelling
•To prevent infusion of drugs not indicated for epidural use, do not use
•Clearly distinguish pumps used for epidural drug delivery from pumps used
This device should be repaired only by Baxter authorized service personnel or
Baxter-trained hospital biomedical engineering personnel, using only Baxter
recommended parts. There are risks associated with using anything other than
Baxter recommended parts. Baxter will assume no responsibility for incidents
which may occur if the product was not repaired in accordance with procedures
authorized by Baxter.
Procedural Warnings:
If the pump has been dropped or appears to be damaged, it should be taken out of
service and inspected by Baxter-trained, qualified personnel only.
Clinicians are advised to verify the proper route of delivery and that the infusion
site is patent. When using this pump, periodic patient monitoring must be
performed to ensure that the infusion is proceeding as expected. The pump is
capable of developing positive fluid pressures to overcome widely varying
resistances to flow such as resistance imposed by small-gauge catheters, filters,
or intra-arterial infusions. Although the pump is designed to stop fluid flow when
an alarm occurs, it is neither designed nor intended to detect infiltrations and will
not alarm under infiltration conditions.
exceed 96 hours) with indwelling catheters specifically indicated for short
term anesthetic epidural drug delivery.
catheters specifically indicated for either short term or long term analgesic
epidural drug delivery.
administration sets incorporating injection sites during epidural delivery.
Use only Baxter standard administration sets equipped with keyed slide clamps
that are labeled as being COLLEAGUE pump compatible or denoted with an “s” in
the product code. If you have questions about administration set compatibility,
contact the Baxter Product Information Center at the number shown on the
administration set labeling. Using anything other than the recommended
administration sets with this pump will result in operation that is not within the
constraints and parameters of the device.
Severe injury or death may result from using sets other than those approved by
Baxter Healthcare Corporation for use with COLLEAGUE pumps. Always read and
follow the instructions in the Operator’s Manual and those accompanying the set
and source container.
Use only CONTINU-FLO standard administration sets equipped with keyed slide
clamps and labeled as COLLEAGUE pump compatible or denoted with an “s” in
the product code as the primary fluid line when administering a secondary
medication/solution. See “Recommended Administration Sets,” 4-15. Carefully
follow the directions on the primary and secondary administration set labels.
When using the secondary infusion feature ensure:
•the medication/solution in the secondary source container is
compatible with the medication/solution in the primary source
container.
•the secondary administration set is connected to the appropriate
injection site on the CONTINU-FLO administration set.
•the interruption of the primary infusion is clinically appropriate for
the duration of the secondary infusion.
•the infusion runs from a secondary source container and not from a
primary container.
Pulling or tugging on the administration set tubing between the pump channel
and the patient may cause false Air Detected alarms, which will cause the pump to
stop infusing. In order to reduce the potential for this situation to occur:
•First, select an appropriate length administration set.
•Before loading the set into the pump, position the keyed slide clamp
at an appropriate location along the tube segment to ensure that
there is adequate length of tubing between the patient and the pump
to reduce tugging on the set.
•Lastly, ensure there is sufficient slack in the tubing between the
distal end of the tubing channel and the patient to prevent tube
tugging during activities such as moving the patient from one bed to
another, or transportation of the patient from one facility location to
another.
In order to avoid false alarms, the pump should never be placed on the bed
alongside the patient.
The pump may not detect an upstream occlusion if one or more of the following
conditions exist:
•All air removed from the source container
•Incomplete insertion of the spike into the source container
•Improper venting of a rigid (glass bottle) or semi-rigid (plastic)
container, including BURETROL sets
If using rigid non-vented containers, refer to the appropriate
administration set instructions to determine the correct venting
procedure.
•The air vent above the burette chamber is not open
To help prevent upstream occlusions that may not be detected by the pump:
•Do not use a source container that has had all air removed.
•When using a BURETROL set, do not invert BURETROL and squeeze
fluid into the primary container, which may wet out the vent filter and
obstruct airflow.
Do not allow fluid to enter the tubing channel or load wet tubing into the pump.
Contact your Baxter Service Center for assistance immediately if fluid enters the
tubing channel. The tubing channel should be cleaned as soon as possible by
Baxter-trained, qualified personnel to minimize potential difficulties caused by
fluid pooling and drying on the mechanism. Fluid in the tubing channel can also
cause false Air In Line alarms. See “Authorized Service Centers,” 10-2.
Cautions
There may be periods of no flow for flow rates less than or equal to 1mL/hr.
Do not enter a Volume to be infused greater than the amount of fluid available in
the container.
COLLEAGUE pumps do not support same-bag loading dose or bolus as it may
lead to an over-infusion, under-infusion, or interruption of therapy.
General Cautions:
In the U.S., use of device is restricted by Federal Law (USA) to sale or use by,
on the order of, or under the supervision of a physician or other licensed
healthcare professional.
Follow the cleaning schedule and methods defined under “Cleaning,” 7-1 to
ensure proper maintenance of the device.

This key accesses the Main Display screen from all other operating screens,
except screens with pop-up windows or passcode service functions.
This key accesses the Volume History screen, allowing the user to view a
history of volume delivered. For triple channel pumps, the volume history
screen presents information for all three channels.
This key silences alarms and alerts for two minutes.
This key turns the back lights for the main display and the pump module
display(s) on and off. During battery-powered operation, this key illuminates
the back lights for 60 seconds following the last key press.
Action Keys
This key selects the Rate field.
This key selects the Vol (Volume to be infused) field.
This key initiates the infusion from any programming screen if all the
required programming values have been entered.
This key powers the pump on or off. If the pump is on, pressing this key once
causes the pump to display the Power Off pop-up, which requests
confirmation that the user intends to turn the pump off.
