Note that option names may vary and the Model TCI & TIVA and Model TIVA pumps have
additional model-specific features. For additional information, refer to the relevant DFU.
BACKOFF is a configurable feature, enabled/disabled via the CONFIGURATION menu, access code 251. When enabled,
BACKOFF is automatically activated every time an occlusion occurs. The pump action reverses and pumps backwards to
release the pressure which has built up in the infusion system. This minimises the post occlusion bolus.
How BACKOFF works
When an occlusion occurs, the pump continues pumping until the pressure alarm level is reached and the pump stops.
Note that an occlusion can be due to a clamp or stopcock being left closed, kinked line, infiltration etc. During this time,
a bolus volume of fluid builds up and is stored between the occlusion and the syringe, because it is unable to be infused
into the patient. BACKOFF prevents the accumulated volume of fluid from being released into the patient as a post
occlusion bolus.
Following an occlusion alarm:
Pumping mechanism reverses, it pumps backwards
Accumulated volume of fluid (post occlusion volume) is ‘taken back’ into the syringe and not infused into the
patient
Post occlusion volume is deducted from the VOLUME (Volume Infused) value shown on the Display
Post occlusion volume is deducted from the infused value in the 24H LOG as this volume has not been infused into
the patient
BACKOFF time and date is recorded in the EVENT LOG
Clinical benefits of BACKOFF
Reduces the pressure in the extension set due to the plunger of the syringe moving backwards
Removes the post occlusion volume of fluid from the system, it is not delivered to the patient as a bolus on
removal of the occlusion. This prevents the patient from receiving an unintentional and unnecessary bolus
Fast Start Feature (Model P7000 only)
FAST START is a configurable feature of the Model P7000 syringe pump, enabled/disabled via the CONFIGURATION
menu, access code 251. When enabled, FAST START automatically reduces the 'mechanical slack' between the plunger
mechanism and syringe at the start of an infusion. The mechanical slack is a very small gap (barely visible) due to the type
of syringe and mechanics of the pump, between the back of the syringe plunger and the plunger drive mechanism at the
start of an infusion.
How FAST START works
At the start of an infusion, the pump starts at a faster rate for a short period of time. This action minimises the start up
delay but may not eliminate it completely.
Notes:
1) The pump can be heard to pump faster than the set infusion rate and can also be felt if a hand is rested on the pump
at the start of an infusion.
2) The faster rate is 50% of the maximum syringe rate, syringe rate ranges are listed in Appendix A, 'Specifications'.
Purge recommendation: Even with FAST START available, it is still recommended to perform a PURGE with the pump before
connecting the extension set to the patient and starting the infusion, especially at low flow rates i.e. below 5ml/h.
Clinical benefits of FAST START
The fluid is delivered to the patient much sooner than if fast start was not available
The delay in delivering the drugs following the changes of syringes is reduced greatly

The calibration procedure for each of the four sensors within the pumps are described in this section. Calibration is only
necessary if in testing, the sensor performs outside of specification or if a full memory clear has been carried out (in
which case all calibration stages must be completed). Refer to Chapter 3, 'Routine Maintenance' for test procedures.
Syringe Size Calibration (243)
Calibration tools required: 1000TG00010 (50ml Spacer A) and 1000TG00011 (100ml Spacer B)
Analysis of process variation shows that a 2 point calibration system is not always sufficient to
define the syringe size detection system across the 5ml to 100ml range. The effect is only observed
when using 100ml syringes, which may not be recognised. If this occurs, the pump should be
recalibrated using a 3 point calibration.
Calibration procedure:
Enter the access code 243.
Fit calibration tool into position on pump as shown below in Steps 1-3 and close the clamp. At each step, CAL is
displayed if value is within tolerances.
Press CAL softkey to store calibration point.
Notes:
1) If CAL is not displayed, check for correct positioning of calibration tool. If calibration cannot be performed, repairs
to pump may be necessary.
2) The calibration values shown on the pump displays are for illustrative purposes only.
