Device DescriptionChapter 2

The Auto Syringe AS50 Infusion Pump (hereinafter referred to as “the pump”) is designed

to meet the fluid and drug delivery requirements of today’s changing clinical environment.

It provides accurate, continuous or intermittent infusion of intravenous solutions, drug

solutions, whole blood, and packed red blood cells.

The pump is indicated for infusion via intravenous (IV), intra-arterial (IA), epidural, or

subcutaneous routes of administration. It can be piggybacked into an ongoing infusion

line to deliver secondary solutions automatically, precisely, and economically. Infusion

rates are programmable from 0.01 to 438 mL/hr.

The pump accepts standard disposable syringes from 1 mL to 60 mL in size. A numeric

keypad simplifies programming and makes the pump easy to use. During programming,

the status display prompts the user to enter data about the syringe and the infusion.

While the pump is running, the status display shows information about the infusion.

Safety and effectiveness are reinforced by pre-programmable bolus operation, titration of

a dose without interruption of fluid flow, and easily understood alarm and alert messages.

The pump includes an optional serial communication feature, which provides remote

computer control and monitoring capabilities. A standard 9-pin connector allows an

RS-232 communication link between the pump and the host computer. The “Auto Syringe

AS50 Infusion Pump Programmer’s Manual” describes the use of this feature.

The pump can be custom-configured to select key features that meet specific

requirements. Configurable options include:

● Audio range

● Auto default to previous mode

● Backlight

● Infusion mode selections

● Keypad auto lock

● Maximum infusion rates

● Occlusion pressure sensitivity

● Protocol library

● Remote computer control

● Syringe manufacturer, type and size selections

Device Description

The selected options can easily be reviewed and the chosen configuration can be changed to meet new or different requirements.

The pump operates on an internal rechargeable battery pack and can also be operated while attached to a “900-Series” battery charger (model number CAS40-01-900) or to a Multi-Charger (product code 1M8563).

The pump is supplied with a pole clamp and a built-in IV pole loop. The pump can also be used on a tabletop.

Information on writing custom software for the pump is available in the Auto Syringe AS50 Infusion Pump Programmer’s Manual. Information on troubleshooting and repair of the pump is available in the Auto Syringe AS50 Infusion Pump Service Manual.

PrecautionsChapter 3

Federal (USA) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.

The charger port is to be used only with “900 Series” chargers or other accessories that are

labeled specifically for use with Auto Syringe AS40A or AS50 Series Infusion Pumps, including

the 1M8563 Multi-Charger.

CAUTION: Refer all service, repair, and calibration to qualified technical

● Though the factory-supplied configuration settings are suitable for most therapies, the

personnel.

CAUTION: Do not operate the Auto Syringe AS50 Infusion Pump in the presence of flammable anesthetics, oxygen-enriched, or explosive atmospheres.

operator and hospital professionals should verify that the pump’s settings are appropriate for the clinical application.

● The Protocol Library feature is a configuration option developed to facilitate infusion

programming. Before using a protocol for any specific drug, refer to the full prescribing information supplied by the drug manufacturer.

● As with all medical electronic equipment, care must be exercised to avoid exposing

this device to powerful sources of electromagnetic interference.

● Do not expose the pump to X-rays, gamma rays, or other ionizing radiation, or to

strong electric or magnetic fields.

● Do not autoclave, steam sterilize, EtO sterilize, or subject the pump or charger to

temperatures in excess of 104° F (40° C).

● Do not use the following chemicals on the device, as they will damage the front panel:

acetone, acetoaldehyde ammonia, benzene, hydroxytoluene, methylene chloride, and ozone, Do not use cleaners containing n-alkyl dimethyl ethylbenzyl ammonium chloride unless they appear in the list of recommended cleaners in the Pump Maintenance section of this manual.

● Do not use hard or sharp objects on the keypad.

Precautions

● If a LINE OCCLUDED alarm occurs, RELIEVE THE RESIDUAL PRESSURE IN THE

SYRINGE BY RELEASING THE PLUNGER DRIVER. If the pressure is not relieved prior to clearing the occlusion, an unintentional bolus delivery may occur when the blockage is cleared. Check for kinked tubing, clogged catheter, closed stopcocks, etc. Check for foreign material preventing movement of the pump mechanism.

● Be sure to PURGE THE SYSTEM OF ALL AIR BEFORE ADMINISTERING ANY

MEDICATION. Failure to follow this normal infusion procedure could precipitate serious consequences.

● Remember that the volume of fluid contained in the connecting tubing is a residual

amount and cannot be infused. Allow for this extra volume of fluid when initially filling the syringe.

● In MANUAL SCHEDULE mode, START must be pressed to deliver each dose and

continue the infusion regimen. Pressing any other key silences the audio portion of

DOSE DUE alarm and leaves the pump in Standby state, without initiating a dose

the delivery.

● Although extreme care has been taken in assembly, component selection, and quality

control during manufacture of the Auto Syringe AS50 Infusion Pump, routine checks and maintenance procedures must be performed so that patients receiving infusions can be assured of trouble-free operation.

● Caution must be exercised in the selection of drugs intended to be delivered via any

infusion pump. If the drug contained in the syringe will be exposed to extreme environmental conditions for prolonged time periods, IT IS IMPORTANT TO SELECT DRUGS THAT WILL NOT CHANGE PHARMACOLOGICALLY UPON SUCH EXPOSURE.

● As with all automatic infusion devices, whenever a TOXIC OR DANGEROUS LEVEL

of drug is stored in the reservoir, CONSTANT MONITORING of the infusion is required.

● CAUTION must be employed to assure that the Auto Syringe AS50 Infusion Pump is

in good working order before putting it into use. If the pump is being operated on battery power alone, ensure that the battery has been charged as described in this manual.

● When the pump is first turned on, verify that the Lamp Test is accurate (see “Display,

Battery, and Syringe Sensor Check” on page 75).

● Verify all program data before pressing START.

● Wipe off spills immediately. Do not allow fluid or residues to remain on the pump.

● Repeated incorrect identification of syringe size by Syringe Recognition may signify a

pump fault condition, or that a syringe manufacturer has made a dimensional change. The pump should be removed from service as soon as possible, so that the problem can be investigated.

Page 6 Auto Syringe AS50 Infusion Pump Operator’s Manual 07-19-B3-430

● If the Size Override configuration option is enabled, an operator can manually

override the Syringe Recognition feature. Incorrect syringe information may cause delivery errors.

Special Precautions for Epidural Administration

● Epidural administration of anesthetics is limited to short-term infusion (not to exceed

96 hours) with indwelling catheters specifically indicated for short-term anesthetic epidural drug delivery.

● Epidural administration of analgesics is limited to use with indwelling catheters

specifically indicated for either short- or long-term analgesic epidural drug delivery.

● To prevent infusion of drugs that are not indicated for epidural use, do not use IV

extension sets that incorporate injection sites during epidural delivery.

● It is strongly recommended that pumps used for epidural drug delivery be clearly

differentiated from pumps used for other routes of administration.

WARNING: Epidural administration of drugs other than those indicated

for epidural use could result in serious injury to the patient.

● The markings on the left and right side of each field are

called annunciators. The left annunciators identify the type of data contained in the field, while the right annunciators identify the units of measure.

● The central portion of each field displays variable

numeric data, either decimal numbers or time. This data generally represents either infusion program information or an active display such as a running total of the amount of drug infused.

● The bottom field of the status display is a two-line text

display, used to prompt the programming sequence or to display a message about the infusion.

After the infusion mode has been selected, the pump automatically displays the necessary fields to be programmed. When the pump needs information, it provides a text prompt and flashes the current field.

Note: The pump’s backlight is on whenever the charger is connected and the pump is

switched on. The pump can also be configured to turn the backlight on for a specified time (0 to 60 minutes) after each keypress when the charger is not connected. See the Auto Syringe AS50 Infusion Pump Technical Manual for details.

Infusion Modes

The pump provides 18 infusion modes, which fall into two major categories: continuous and timed infusions. Continuous infusions deliver at a steady, programmed rate. Timed infusions deliver one or more equal doses according to a programmed schedule. The infusion modes are briefly described below. For more information see “Detailed Instructions” on page 27.

Continuous Infusion Modes

the dose is entered in mg/hr, mg/min, mcg/hr or mcg/min, depending on the mode selected. The pump automatically displays the effective rate in mL/hr.

mg/kg/hr, mg/kg/min, mcg/kg/hr and mcg/kg/min: The patient's body weight is

entered in kg, the drug concentration is entered in mg/mL, and the dose is entered in mg/kg/hr, mg/kg/min, mcg/kg/hr or mcg/kg/min, depending on the mode selected. The pump automatically displays the effective rate in mL/hr.

CUSTOM DILUTION: In this mode the pump is programmed for a continuous

infusion and the drug concentration is adjusted for a target infusion rate and dose. The target rate is entered in mL/hr, the patient’s body weight is entered in kg, the initial drug concentration is entered in mg/mL, the target dose is entered in mcg/kg/min, and the final volume is entered in mL. The pump calculates and displays the volume of drug (in mL) to be added to the infusion base solution to produce a final concentration that achieves the target rate and target dose. The final concentration is displayed when the infusion is initiated.

Additional Functions and

Purge Function

The Purge function advances the syringe plunger driver a preset distance. Manually purge the syringe and IV extension set before mounting the syringe in the pump. Perform the Purge function after the syringe is mounted on the pump, (before connecting to the patient) to eliminate slack in the drive mechanism and thus ensure prompt fluid delivery when the infusion starts.

Precaution: To prevent unintended delivery to the patient, the IV

Bolus Function

Note: If a protocol is selected, the bolus function may not be allowed. If the protocol dis-

allows the bolus function, the pump beeps and displays the message

NOT ALLOWED when BOLUS is pressed.

A bolus is a fixed dose which may be programmed and delivered, either during an infusion or while the pump is in Standby state. The pump allows the operator to program the rate of infusion for a bolus, and to program the bolus size either in terms of dose or volume where applicable.

Bolus Size Limits

The minimum programmable bolus size is approximately the same as the minimum deliverable volume (see “Syringe Data Tables” on page 25).

The maximum programmable bolus size is the lesser of:

Additional Functions and Operations

Bolus Rate

The bolus infusion rate is the smallest of:

● The maximum infusion rate for the syringe (see “Syringe Data Tables” on page 25).

● The maximum rate established by the RATE RANGE configuration option.

● The bolus maximum rate specified by the selected protocol (if applicable).

Example 1: If a pump is configured for Rate Range = Medium, the overall maximum infusion rate is 120 mL/hr.

However, the maximum infusion rate for a B-D 10 mL syringe is 107 mL/hr. Therefore, if a B-D 10 mL syringe is used, the bolus rate will be the lesser of the two limits, or 107 mL/hr.

Example 2: Assume that the same pump and syringe from Example 1 are used.

A protocol is selected that specifies a bolus maximum rate of 120 mcg/kg/hr.

If a patient body weight of 50 kg is programmed and the concentration is 0.1 mg/mL, the bolus maximum rate of 100 mcg/kg/hr will translate to a rate of 60 mL/hr, and the bolus rate will be limited to 60 mL/hr.

Bolus Programming

A bolus may be programmed during an infusion without interrupting the normal delivery.

Charging the Battery

ACLE

0VACOU

The battery charger cord plugs into the bottom of the pump.

Note: The plug and receptacle are shaped to fit only one way. DO NOT force the

plug into place.

For the best battery operating time, the battery should be charged for at least 16 hours before using the pump. Disconnect the charger if the pump is not to be used within the next 72 hours. Prolonged overcharge and high temperature shorten the battery operating time and service life.

Pump MaintenanceChapter 1

The battery voltage may be displayed by pressing or by pressing

CONFIRM after the pump has been programmed.

CONFIRM briefly during the Lamp Test,

Note: Battery voltage display is only an approximate indication of the battery’s remaining

charge. If the battery voltage is less than 6.1 volts, or is dropping rapidly, assume that the charge remaining in the battery is minimal. Recharge the battery.

Do not charge or store the pump in direct sunlight, or under excessively warm conditions.

Replacement of the battery every 16 months is recommended for optimal pump performance.

Use only “900 Series” chargers or other accessories that are labeled

specifically for use with Auto Syringe AS40A or AS50 Series Infusion Pumps. The standard battery charger (USA) is Model #C-AS40-01-900.

IV Pole Clamp

The pump is supplied with a detachable, adjustable pole clamp which allows it to be mounted to a standard vertical IV pole. The pole clamp can also be adjusted to allow the pump to be used on a horizontal pole.

To attach the pole clamp to the pump, first slide the clamp in place, so that the MOUNTING PIN CUTOUTS (1) on the clamp engage the MOUNTING PINS (5) built into the rear of the pump. Tighten the MOUNTING SCREW (4) into the threaded RECESS (6) just below the battery cover. Tools are not required for this operation.

Cautions-Federal (U.S.A.) l

The JAW (3) clamps the pump to the IV pole. Turn the KNOB (2) counterclockwise to open the jaw, and clockwise to close it. Tighten the knob by hand only. Do not use tools to tighten the knob.

Page 70 Auto Syringe AS50 Infusion Pump Operator’s Manual 07-19-B3-430

IV Pole Loop

The pump includes an IV pole loop built into the top of the pump. This loop may be swiveled as required, or folded down and out of the way when not in use.

Conditions Requiring Service Cleaning

Service cleaning is a procedure for removing foreign matter from areas that are not accessible through routine cleaning methods. Service cleaning must only be performed by qualified individuals. Instructions for service cleaning may be found in the Auto Syringe AS50 Infusion Pump Service Manual.

Conditions which require service cleaning include:

● Spillage into the pumping mechanism, or into the barrel clamp, flange clamp, or

plunger driver mechanism.

● Accumulation of foreign matter in areas not accessible to routine cleaning.

● Excessive syringe-related alarms or alerts, such as CHECK SYRINGE, CHECK

PLUNGER, CHECK FLANGE

● Sticking of the plunger driver, the barrel clamp, or flange clamp.

, or CHECK BARREL.

Pump Maintenance

Periodic Maintenance

Daily Check

This Daily Check should be performed prior to programming an infusion. If the pump fails any part of the Daily Check, take it out of service.

1. Before using the pump, check for slippage of the plunger driver by applying gentle

back pressure.

2. Check the plunger driver for free travel through its full range.

3. Check the barrel clamping mechanism for proper locking, and check that it opens and

closes freely when either barrel clamp release is pressed.

4. Check that the plunger assembly opens freely to its full travel and returns to a fully

closed position without assistance.

If connecting the charger, make sure that the charger plug and socket are clean and fully engaged, and that the

ON CHARGE light is lit when the charger is plugged in.

Battery Replacement

In general, the service life of rechargeable batteries is based on many factors, including construction, size, usage, frequency of charging and discharging, and depth of discharge prior to recharge. To minimize the chances of experiencing a problem with rechargeable batteries, it is advisable to replace them before their service life is expended.

Baxter advises that pump battery replacement be made part of a regularly scheduled maintenance program. Baxter recommends that the AS50 Pump’s rechargeable battery be replaced every 16 months.

Battery Voltage Check

Note: Battery voltage display is only an approximate indication of the battery’s remaining

charge. If the battery voltage is less than 6.1 volts, or is dropping rapidly, assume that the charge remaining in the battery is minimal. Recharge the battery.

To display the battery voltage, press battery voltage should be more than 6.1 V if the pump is to be operated on battery power. A charged battery displays a battery voltage of approximately 7.0 volts.

In Case of Difficulty

Check the IV extension set carefully to be sure the tubing is not pinched, and that there are no obstructions to prevent proper fluid flow.

Problems associated with a particular syringe size or manufacturer are likely to be caused by variations in syringe dimensions. Typical symptoms are an inability to completely empty certain syringes, and

If you apply tape, paper stickers, or labels to the syringe, the apparent diameter of the syringe barrel may increase, which can impair the accuracy of the Syringe Recognition system.

Syringe Recognition problems may be caused by improperly mounted syringes. Excess clamping force can crush the syringe barrel, which results in an erroneous barrel diameter reading.

Frequent in the barrel clamp cradle.

If the pump fails to operate as described, contact the Baxter Healthcare Corporation Andover Service Center for assistance at:
