Operating Precautions

Infusion Sets

 To ensure correct and accurate operation, only use Cardinal Health single use infusion sets described in this

Directions For Use.

 It is recommended that infusion sets are changed according to the instructions in the 'Changing the

Infusion Set' section.

 Use of non-specified infusion sets may impair the operation of the pump and the accuracy of the infusion.
 When combining several apparatus and/or instruments with infusion sets and other tubing, for example via

a 3-way tap or multiple infusion, the performance of the pump may be affected and should be monitored
closely.

 Uncontrolled flow may result if the infusion set is not properly isolated from the patient i.e. closing a tap in

the set or activating an in-line clamp / roller clamp.

 The infusion set may be fitted with an in-line clamp, which can be used to occlude tubing in case it is

required to stop fluid flow.

 The IVAC® 598 Volumetric Pump is a positive pressure pump, which should use infusion sets fitted with luer

lock fittings or equivalent locking connectors.

 To infuse from a burette, close the roller clamp above the burette and open the clamp on the vent on top

of the burette.

 Discard infusion set if the packaging is not intact or the protector cap is detached. Ensure sets are not

kinked as this may occlude the tubing.

 It is recommended that the air vent be opened on the IVAC® 598 Volumetric Pump set if using glass bottles

or semi-rigid containers, to reduce the partial vacuum formed as the fluid is infused from the container.
This action will ensure the pump can maintain volumetric accuracy whilst the container empties. The action
of opening the air vent for semi-rigid containers should take place after the spiking of the container and
priming of the drip chamber.

Carefully read the Directions For Use supplied with the infusion set prior to use.

Using Collapsible bags, Glass Bottles & Semi Rigid containers

Steps for the Collapsible bags

Steps for Semi-rigid containers

Follow steps 1 to 3 as shown for the
semi-rigid containers, however do not
open vent as in step 4, but prime the
set as per step 5. Ensure the bag outlet
is fully pierced before filling the drip
chamber.

Operating Environment

 When using any infusion pump in conjunction with other pumps or devices requiring vascular access,

extra care is advised. Adverse delivery of medication or fluids can be caused by the substantial variation
in pressures created within the fluid channels of such pumps. Typical examples of those pumps are used
during dialysis, bypass or cardiac assist applications.

 The pump is suitable for use in all establishments, other than domestic establishments and those directly

connected to the public low voltage power supply network that supplies buildings used for domestic
purposes.

 This pump is not intended to be used in the presence of a flammable anaesthetic mixture with air or

oxygen or nitrous oxide.

Operating Pressure

 The pumping pressure alarm system is not designed to provide protection against, or detection
of, extravasation or tissuing complications which can occur.

1000DF00161 Issue 1 6/24

M

Operating Precautions (Continued)

Alarm Conditions

 Several alarm conditions detected by this pump will stop the infusion and generate visual and audible

alarms. Users must perform regular checks to ensure that the infusion is progressing correctly and no
alarms are operating.

Electromagnetic Compatibility and Interference

 This pump is protected against the effects of external interference, including high energy radio frequency

emissions, magnetic fields and electrostatic discharge (for example, as generated by electrosurgical and
cauterising equipment, large motors, portable radios, cellular telephones etc.) and is designed to remain
safe when unreasonable levels of interference are encountered.

 In some circumstances the pump may be affected by an electrostatic discharge through air at levels close

to or above 15kv; or by radio frequency radiation close to or above 10v/m. If the pump is affected by
this external interference the pump will remain in a safe mode; the pump will duly stop the infusion and
alert the user by generating a combination of visual and audible alarms. Should any encountered alarm
condition persist even after user intervention, it is recommended to replace that particular pump and
quarantine the pump for the attention of appropriately trained technical personnel.

 This p ump is a CISPR 11 Group 1 Class A device and uses RF e nergy only for its internal f unction in the normal

product offering. Therefore, its RF emissions are very low and are not likely to cause any interference with
the nearby electronic equipment. However, this pump emits a certain level of electromagnetic radiation
which is within the levels specified by IEC/EN60601-2-24 and IEC/EN60601-1-2. If the pump interacts with
other equipment, measures should be taken to minimise the effects, for instance by repositioning or
relocation.



B



Earth Conductor

 The IVAC® 598 Volumetric Pump is a Class I device, therefore must be earthed when connected to an AC

power supply.

 This pump also has an internal power source.
 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 on the AC power cable has been compromised, the pump
should be disconnected from the AC power source and operated utilising the internal battery.

Hazards

 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 pump’s casing is opened or removed.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

 If this pump is dropped, subjected to excessive moisture, fluid spillage, humidity or high
temperature, or otherwise suspected to have been damaged, remove it from service for inspection
by a qualified service engineer. When transporting or storing the pump, use original packaging
where possible, and adhere to temperature, humidity and pressure ranges stated in the
Specifications section and on the outer packaging.

 If this pump behaves abnormally, remove from service and contact a qualified service engineer.

Latex Content

 The IVAC® 598 Volumetric Pump does not contain any latex.

Maintenance

Routine Maintenance Procedures

To ensure that this pump remains in good operating condition, it is important to keep it clean and carry out the routine maintenance procedures
described below. All servicing should only be performed by a qualified service engineer with reference to the Technical Service Manual (TSM).
Circuit diagrams and components parts lists and all other servicing information which will assist the qualified service engineer in performing repair of
the parts designated as repairable are available upon request from Cardinal Health.

If the pump is dropped, damaged, subjected to excessive moisture or high temperature, immediately take it out of service for

A

accordance with the information supplied. Cardinal Health, Alaris® Products will not be responsible should any of these actions be
performed outside the instructions or information supplied by Cardinal Health.

Refer to the Technical Service Manual for the access code for technical service.

INTERVAL ROUTINE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE

As per Hospital policy. Thoroughly clean external surfaces of the pump before and after prolonged period of storage.

At least once per year
(Refer to TSM for identification of
parts)

examination by a qualified service engineer.

All preventative and corrective maintenance and all such activities shall be performed at a compliant work place in

1. Inspect AC power supply plug and cable for damage.

2. Perform functional tests as outlined in the Technical Service Manual.

3. Operate the pump on battery power until the battery low alarm then charge the battery to
confirm battery operation and charging.

4. Inspect mechanism for damage or excessive wear. Clean and lubricate the mechanism as outlined
in the Technical Service Manual.

Please refer to Technical Service Manual for calibration procedures. The units of measurement used in the calibration

procedure are standard SI (The International System of Units) units.

A

Replacing the Mains Fuses

If the pump continually illuminates the battery symbol and the AC power indicator light does not illuminate when the pump is connected to the AC
power supply and switched ON, either the power supply fuse in the AC plug, if fitted, or the internal fuses may have blown.

First check the power supply fuse in the AC mains plug, if fitted. If the AC power indicator light does not illuminate remove the pump from service. It
is recommended that the AC power fuses are only replaced by a qualified service engineer.

The fuses in the pump should only be replaced by a qualifi ed service engineer. For further information regarding the replacement of fuses refer to
the Technical Service Manual.

If the fuses continue to blow, an electrical fault may have occurred and the pump and power supply should be checked

out by a qualified service engineer.

A

Battery Operation

The internal rechargeable battery allows continued operation when the AC power is unavailable, for example during patient transfer or AC
power failure. A fully charged battery will provide a minimum of 6 hours of operation at 125ml/h infusion rate. When connected to the AC
power supply for 24 hours, (whether the pump is in use or not) a battery pack will be fully charged.

The battery is maintenance free, sealed Lead Acid and requires no routine servicing. However, to achieve optimum operation, ensure that
the battery is fully recharged after full discharge, before storage, and at regular 3 month intervals during storage.

Charge retention will eventually degrade. Where retention is critical the internal battery should be replaced every 3 years.

It is recommended that only a qualified service engineer replaces the battery. For further information regarding the replacement of
batteries refer to the Technical Service Manual.

Test Routines

The test routines are designed to allow confirmation of many of the pump functions, defaults and calibrations without requiring internal
inspection. They do not represent a full calibration check.

See the Technical Service Manual for a complete list of the test procedures, access codes and calibration procedures.

Trumpet and Flow Rate Curves

In this pump, as with all infusion systems, the action of the pumping mechanism and variations cause short-term fluctuations in rate
accuracy.

The following curves show typical performance of the system in two ways: 1) the accuracy of fluid delivery over various time periods is
measured (trumpet curves), and 2) the delay in onset of fluid flow when infusion commences (start-up curves).

Trumpet curves are named for their characteristic shape. They display discrete data averaged over particular time periods or 'observation
windows', not continuous data versus operating time. Over long observation windows, short term fluctuations have little effect on accuracy
as represented by the flat part of the curve. As the observation window is reduced, short term fluctuations have greater effects as represented
by the "mouth" of the trumpet.

Knowledge of system accuracy over various observation windows may be of interest when certain drugs are being administered. Short term
fluctuations in rate accuracy may have clinical impact depending on the half-life of the drug being infused and the degree of inter vascular
integration, the clinical effect cannot be determined from the trumpet curves alone.

The start-up curves represent continuous flow versus operating time for two hours from the start of the infusion. They exhibit the delay
in onset of delivery due to mechanical compliance and provide a visual representation of uniformity. Trumpet curves are derived from the
second hour of this data. Tests performed per IEC/EN60601-2-24 standard.
