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.

The pump’s labels provide additional information about the pump.
Figure 2-7 shows the location of the pump’s labels for single channel
pumps. Figure 2-8 shows the location of the pump’s labels for triple
channel pumps. If any labels are missing or damaged, contact your local
Baxter Service Center for replacement information.
In addition to basic infusion delivery capabilities, the pump has the
following features that help to enhance versatility and to help ensure
accurate infusion programming.
PERSONALITY Feature Sets
The pump provides the capability for a facility to create up to eight
different custom PERSONALITY feature sets, programmed with
infusion settings specific to a particular care area or therapy.
If PERSONALITY feature sets have been configured by the facility, the
clinician can select a different PERSONALITY feature set when the
pump is powered on. The PERSONALITY feature set can only be
changed at power on. For instructions on selecting a PERSONALITY
feature set, see “Selecting a Pump PERSONALITY Feature Set,” 4-5.
The Permanent Settings PERSONALITY feature set is the factory
default and its parameters cannot be changed, but it can be copied and
modified to create custom PERSONALITY feature sets tailored to the
needs of the facility. See “Configurable Options,” 6-1, for the default
settings.
PERSONALITY feature sets should be created only by
facility-authorized personnel, and the settings should be based upon
clinical protocols. An access code is required to program
PERSONALITY feature sets. See the COLLEAGUE Pump Configuration Manual or the COLLEAGUE GUARDIAN
Configuration Tool documentation for more information.
This configurable feature allows the user to select informational labels
for display on the Programming screen (Figure 2-9) and Main Display
screen (Figure 2-10), and an eight-character abbreviation of the label on
the Pump Module display. For information on selecting a label during
programming, see “Selecting a Label,” 4-23.
Labels are chosen from a list of predefined or custom labels. When the
Label Library feature is enabled, the user can select from the list of
available labels. For a list of predefined labels, see “Predefined Labels”
on page 6-7.
When the label library is viewed, the application labels are listed first,
followed by the medication/solution labels. For a list of application
labels, see “Application Labels,” 6-9.
The infusion modes and programming functions available on the pump
depend on the facility-authorized configuration.
2Infusion Modes
Rate-Volume Infusions
This mode allows programming the flow rate and the infusion volume,
and the pump then runs at the programmed rate until the programmed
volume has been delivered. The pump then switches to the KVO (Keep
Vein Open) rate.
Rate-volume infusions can be programmed for primary or secondary
infusions. Secondary rate-volume infusions can be programmed without
stopping the primary infusion.
For instructions on programming rate-volume infusions, see
“Programming a Primary Rate-Volume Infusion,” 4-21 and
“Programming a Secondary Rate-Volume Infusion,” 4-46.
Volume-Time Infusions
This infusion mode lets the user enter the Volume to be Infused and
Time Duration, and the pump then calculates and displays the flow rate.
This feature is available in primary and secondary modes. Secondary
infusions can be programmed in Volume-Time without stopping the
primary infusion.
For instructions on programming Volume-Time infusions, see
“Programming a Primary Volume-Time Infusion,” 4-25 and
“Programming a Secondary Volume-Time Infusion,” 4-49.
COLLEAGUE GUARDIAN Feature
The COLLEAGUE GUARDIAN feature is a configurable option that
helps to reduce the potential for medication programming errors by
allowing program limits to be predefined for labels in the pump's label
library, including custom labels, based on facility or care area protocols.
The COLLEAGUE GUARDIAN feature allows the clinician to
compare pump programming with facility-defined dose guidelines at the
point of care. If the clinician programs values outside of the rule sets the
facility has programmed for a label, an out of limits warning occurs. The
COLLEAGUE GUARDIAN feature can be configured for rate-volume
and dose mode programming.
Note:All of the setup required to use the COLLEAGUE GUARDIAN
feature must be completed by facility-authorized personnel
according to the instructions in the COLLEAGUE Pump Configuration Manual or the instructions accompanying the
COLLEAGUE GUARDIAN Configuration Tool.
General information about the COLLEAGUE GUARDIAN feature is
listed below.
Labels configured with limits using the COLLEAGUE
GUARDIAN feature appear in a separate list. The list of
COLLEAGUE GUARDIAN labels is accessed by pressing the
Colleague Guardian soft key from the Primary Rate-Volume or
Volume-Time programming screen, or by pressing the
Mode
soft key and selecting Colleague Guardian from the
Programming Modes menu.
Labels selected from the COLLEAGUE GUARDIAN list have
predefined program limits. If the clinician chooses to change the
program so that the predefined limits are overridden, a warning is
displayed. The warning pop-up includes the programmed dose
and the preprogrammed dose limits. The clinician can choose to
cancel the dose and reprogram within the limits, or accept the
dose and override the limits. See Figure 2-11 for an example of
the Limits Warning pop-up.
On the Main Display, the flow rate for infusions for which the
clinician chose to override the predefined limits are displayed in
red text on a yellow background. See Figure 2-12 for an example
of a Main Display screen for an infusion that overrides the
COLLEAGUE GUARDIAN feature limits. The triangle next to
the Midazolam label indicates that the standard concentration has
been edited from the predefined values.
Infusions utilizing the COLLEAGUE GUARDIAN feature are
identified on the pump’s information and programming screens
by the mortar and pestle icon to the right of the infusion
information. See Figure 2-12 and Figure 2-13 for examples.
The COLLEAGUE GUARDIAN feature can be used for primary
infusions only. A secondary infusion can be programmed to run
with a primary infusion that utilizes the COLLEAGUE
GUARDIAN feature.
COLLEAGUE GUARDIAN parameters can be set by authorized
facility personnel for labels in the pump’s label library, for any
primary dose mode and rate-volume infusions.
An optional default dose may be preconfigured; if so, the Dose
field is prefilled on the programming screen when the label is
selected.
For dose modes, COLLEAGUE GUARDIAN parameters can be
configured to allow changes to the standard concentration.
•If changes to standard concentration are not allowed, the
Diluent Volume and Concentration fields cannot be
edited by the clinician when programming an infusion.
•If changes to standard concentration are allowed, the
Diluent Volume and Concentration fields can be edited
by the clinician when programming an infusion. White
triangles appear beside the field names for fields that have
been edited. In the example shown in Figure 2-13, the
clinician has changed the Drug Amount and Diluent Volume fields to values that differ from the programmed
COLLEAGUE GUARDIAN feature limits for Heparin
Sodium. The yellow triangle beside the Heparin Sodium
label indicates that the concentration can be edited.
For instructions on programming infusions using the COLLEAGUE
GUARDIAN feature, see “Programming a Primary COLLEAGUE
GUARDIAN Infusion (Non-Weight-Based),” 4-29 and “Programming a
Primary COLLEAGUE GUARDIAN Infusion (Weight-Based),” 4-32.
Dose programming lets the user program a primary infusion using dose
parameters. The dose can be programmed independent of patient
parameters or based on patient body weight. The following dose modes
are allowed:
General (independent of patient parameters)
•mg/hr
•mEq/hr
•mg/min
•mcg/hr
•units/hr
•mcg/min
Based on patient body weight
•mg/kg/hr
•mEq/kg/hr
•mg/kg/min
•mcg/kg/hr
•units/kg/hr
•mcg/kg/min
How Concentration is Determined
Concentration is a required infusion parameter. Concentration is
determined by dividing the drug amount into the diluent volume. If the
concentration is known, it can be entered directly into the pump. If
concentration is the first parameter entered, the Drug Amount and
Diluent Volume fields are cleared.
How Doses and Rates are Calculated
Concentration must be entered or calculated before the rate or dose can
be calculated. After the dose is entered, the pump calculates and displays
the rate. Similarly, after the rate is entered, the pump calculates and
displays the dose.
Conversion factors are applied as appropriate to calculate rate or dose
(i.e., 60 minutes = 1 hour, 1000 mcg = 1 mg, etc.).
To calculate rate from an entered dose, the following formulas are
applied:
To calculate dose from an entered rate, the following formulas are
applied:
General:
Based on patient body weight:
To calculate rate from an entered volume to be infused and entered time
of infusion, the following formula is applied:
Changing a Parameter After All Parameters Have Been
Entered
If all parameters have been entered and calculated and one of the
parameters is changed, one or more of the following occurs:
If the actual Dose is changed, the Rate is automatically
recalculated, or vice versa.
If the Drug Amount or Diluent Volume is changed, the
Concentration is recalculated.
If the Concentration is changed, the Drug Amount and Diluent
Volume will be cleared.
If a parameter that could indirectly affect the Dose or Rate (such
as patient weight) is changed, the Rate will change but the Dose
remains constant.
Changing Units of Measure
Units of measure can be changed for the Drug Amount and
Concentration values. Whenever a unit of measure is changed, the pump
automatically clears the program values of any parameters associated
with the changed units.
For instructions on programming dose infusions, see “Programming a
Primary Dose Mode Infusion (Non-Weight Based),” 4-36 and
“Programming a Primary Dose Mode Infusion (Weight-Based),” 4-40.
Primary Delay Start is an optional feature available on the Programming
Modes menu. If Primary Delay Start does not appear on the
Programming Modes menu, this feature has not been enabled. Delay
Start lets the user program a primary rate-volume infusion to begin at a
specified time, in 24-hour format. A Delay Start infusion starts
automatically when the pump’s clock reaches the programmed Start At
time. If the pump is displaying a programming screen when the Delay
Start infusion begins, the display changes to the Main Display.
When a Delay Start infusion has been programmed, a wristwatch icon is
displayed on the Main Display screen (Figure 2-14) until it is time for
the infusion to begin.
When a Delay Start infusion begins, the pump channel’s infusion mode
changes to primary rate-volume and the main display shows the
programmed infusion information. The wristwatch icon changes to the
stop icon or the drop icon, depending upon whether the infusion is
stopped or running.
The
Secondary soft key for the channel is not available until the Delay
Start infusion starts running.
For instructions on programming Delay Start infusions, see
“Programming a Delay Start Infusion,” 4-54.
3.Before initially powering on the pump, charge the battery for at least
12 uninterrupted hours. A complete charge may take longer than
12 hours.
Mounting the Pump on an IV Pole
When attaching this pump to an IV pole, ensure it has been securely clamped
and ensure that the IV pole is stable and secure. Ensure that the pole is able to
support the pump, along with any other devices, without tipping or falling.
When attached to an IV pole, the pump may become unstable (tip and fall) if the
center of the mounting clamp knob (Figure 3-1) measures 96 cm (37.8 inches)
or higher from the floor. The pole diameter should be between 0.96 and 3.81 cm
(3/8 inch and 1-1/2 inches).
Note:To help loosen the mounting clamp knob, flip open and use the
two wing-shaped extensions on the knob.
1.For triple channel pumps: proceed to Step 2.

Preparing for an Infusion
Preparing the Primary Infusion Container and Set
Always read and follow the instructions which accompany the source container
and administration sets you are using. Carefully follow any label copy
instructions for loading, removing, and reloading the set, as well as the
recommended set change interval. For optimal pump performance, set use
should not exceed the change interval shown on the set's label copy or 72 hours,
whichever is less.
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.
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.
For infection control purposes, consider the set change interval
recommended by the United States Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), the facility’s guidelines, and the instructions
provided with the administration set.
1.Prepare the primary infusion container following the manufacturer’s
directions for use.
2.Attach an appropriate Baxter administration set to the solution
container and gravity prime the administration set following the
directions for use.
Note:The optional Prime function may also be used (see “Using the
Optional Prime Function” on page 4-18).
3.Ensure all air is expelled from the administration set.
4.Close the regulating clamp on the administration set.

Replacing the Primary Infusion Container (Using the Same
Administration Set)
Laying the infusion source container flat during an infusion increases the
potential for air to enter the tubing, resulting in an Air in Line alarm and
interruption of patient therapy.
1.If the pump module is running, press the STOP key on the pump
module to stop it.
2.Close the regulating clamp on the administration set.
3.Unload the administration set from the pump module (see
“Unloading the Administration Set,” 4-70) and detach the
administration set from the empty infusion container.
4.Attach the administration set to the new infusion container and
follow the instructions for "Preparing the Primary Infusion Container
and Set" starting at step 2 on page 4-14.
Recommended Administration Sets
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.
Note:The pump must be powered on to load the administration set
(see “Powering On Using AC Power,” 4-1).
If the administration set is not loaded after the Open key has
been pressed, the mechanism closes automatically after
60 seconds.
Never use the Manual Tube Release to load or unload the administration set during normal operation.
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.
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.
When attempting to load or unload an administration set, do not insert tools or
other objects into the tubing channel.

Using the Optional Prime Function
Overview
The optional Prime function can be used to assist clinicians in preparing
a primary administration set for infusion.
If Prime is not displayed on the Programming Modes menu, this feature
has not been enabled.
Do not connect the administration set to the patient when priming.
Priming the Administration Set

full prior to using the prime function to ensure that fluid will enter
the administration set.
Note:Prime cannot be selected if an
Note:Air detection is disabled when priming is active.
Before starting an infusion, the administration set must be fully loaded.
If an administration set has not been loaded and START is

This optional programming function allows the pump to deliver fluid
from a second source container at a rate and volume that is independent
of the primary infusion. When the secondary infusion is complete, the
pump automatically switches to the programmed primary rate if a
confirmed primary infusion exists.
Note:
While Primary is
Running
When using primary administration sets with check valves and secondary
administration sets for secondary infusions, factors including but not limited to
programmed infusion rates, fluid viscosity, source containers (type and size), and
head height differences may influence system performance. Flow rates greater
than 350 mL/hr may cause fluid to be siphoned from the primary source container
during infusions, causing concurrent flow.
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:
A secondary infusion can be programmed while a primary infusion is running. A
alert message will be displayed with an audible
ary
alert tone.
Programming Second-
•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.
Failure to properly lower the primary container by fully extending the hanger
increases the potential for concurrent flow. Concurrent flow leads to
over-infusion of the primary infusion and under-infusion of the secondary
infusion.
Always read and follow the instructions which accompany the source container
and administration sets you are using. Carefully follow any label copy
instructions for loading, removing, and reloading the set, as well as the
recommended set change interval. For optimal pump performance, set use
should not exceed the change interval shown on the set's label copy or 72 hours,
whichever is less.
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.
Failure to open the roller clamp on a secondary set when starting a secondary
infusion will cause a delay of the secondary infusion and an over-infusion of the
primary infusion.
Preparing a Secondary Infusion Set
