The IVAC® PCAM® Syringe Pump is designed to provide a small, self-administered dose of analgesic, as and when the patient demands
it by activating a hand operated button. The clinician can select limits for various parameters, including the size of each individual
dose, the minimum time between doses and the number of doses allowed during a period. In parallel to the patient controlled
operation the pump allows the clinician to set an automatic loading dose which will be delivered at the onset of treatment. Similarly a
continuous background infusion which is delivered irrespective of the patients demands for analgesia, can also be selected.
In addition, the pump will automatically record valuable information about each patients treatment and their individual demands for
analgesia. This allows further analysis of the frequency with which analgesia is being requested, the total dose delivered etc.

Once Teach Learn is complete, all configuration settings on the Learner pump, including DRUG
NAMES AND SAFETY LIMITS, must be checked against the Teacher pump (original source).
The linear accuracy of the pump can be verified by measuring the time the plunger holder takes to travel a specified distance. The
distance travelled is measured using a dial indicator, mounted in place of the syringe, and the elapsed time can be measured using a
stop watch.
Test gear required: 1000TG00080, 0000TG00032 and 0000JG00014
1. Declutch the drive mechanism and move the plunger holder to the right.
2. Fit the linear test gear 1000TG00080 and 0000JG00014 (plunger protect) to the pump, and 0000TG00032 (magnet) to the cover clip
position and move plunger holder towards the dial gauge until it is a about 3mm clear of the probe.
3. Set up the pump and perform the test in either PCA mode or in Continuous mode (as described below). Use the most appropriate
method, depending on the pump configuration.
PCA mode method
Switch LOCK 1 to the SET position. Set PCA delivery to STAT, PCA dose to 20mg then switch LOCK 1 to the RUN position.
Note: The use of a generic drug is recommended, for example,
option and the VARIABLE DOSE RATES option (for PCA delivery) in GENERAL OPTIONS, access code 251, see Chapter 2 for
instructions.
Confirm syringe type 'BD Plastipak' then press handset to start infusion.
Allow the pump to run until it touches the probe and then using a stop watch, time the travel over a distance of 15.00mm.
Check that the pump is travelling at the correct speed, within the range of 4mins 50secs to 4mins 58secs. If the time falls
outside the range (or the movements of the dial are jerky) then the pump requires further investigation.
MASS DRUG. If necessary, enable the GENERIC DRUG
IMPORTANT: Where configuration settings and/or protocol parameters are changed, ensure
each one is changed back to the original value on completion of the test.
Continuous mode method
Switch LOCK 1 to the SET position, set the pump to run at a continuous rate of 20ml/h then start the pump. Allow the pump to
run until it touches the probe and then using a stop watch, time the travel over a distance of 10.00mm.
Using the values specified in the 'Linear Accuracy Table' below, check that the pump is travelling at the correct speed. If the
time falls outside the range (or the movements of the dial are jerky) then the pump requires further investigation. Note: Syringe
constants are also provided for a combination of rates and syringe sizes. See next section.
4. Switch LOCK 1 to the OFF position and remove the test gear.

2) Alarm level (for BD Plastipak only) is 3.9 KgF ± 0.4 KgF on pumps with software below V2R6.
Potential Equalisation Terminal Resistance Test (PE Test)
Equipment required: DVM Resistance Meter
1. Connect one lead from the DVM resistance meter to the PE terminal on the pole clamp of the pump and the other to the pump
leadscrew. Check that the settled value of resistance is less than 20MΩ.
2. Move the lead from the leadscrew and repeat the check with the lead to the outer tube. Check that the settled value is less than
20MΩ.
3. If the value of either of the two readings is greater than 20MΩ the pump fails this test and must be removed from service for further
investigation.
Maintenance:To achieve optimum operation of the pump whilst being used on battery power, it is recommended
that a battery test (see 'Battery Test' below is performed to ensure that the pump will operate
correctly on battery power. Where it is not possible to run a battery test, it is recommended that the
battery is replaced every 2 years.
Charging:Typically, a new battery will take approximately 24 hours from discharge to 100% charge.
New Batteries:Where a battery is not tested prior to installation, it is recommended where possible that a battery
test is performed.
Battery Test:Run the pump on battery power at the rate of 5 ml/h in CONTINUOUS mode, for a minimum of 4
hours (2.8Ah battery) or 6 hours (3.4 Ah battery). This test should be performed annually, or more
frequently as required (e.g. where charge retention is critical to pump operation).
Storage:The pump should be fully recharged after discharge before storage, and at 3 month intervals during
storage.
Battery Life:The internal rechargeable sealed acid lead battery will retain charge if maintained correctly. Charge
retention will degrade over time. The internal battery should be replaced every 3 years, or if the
pump fails the battery test.
Physical Inspection and Clean
To ensure the pump remains in good operating condition, it is important to keep it clean and carry out the routine procedures
described below. All servicing should only be performed by a qualified service engineer.
Thoroughly clean external surfaces of the pump, by wiping over with a cloth lightly dampened with warm water and a standard
disinfectant/detergent solution.
Before cleaning always switch OFF and disconnect from the AC power supply. Never allow fluid to
enter the casing and avoid excess fluid build up on the pump.
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents as these may damage the exterior surface of the pump.
Do not steam autoclave, ethylene oxide sterilise or immerse this pump in any fluid.
Check that labels are flat, legible and fully adhered. Replace as necessary.
Inspect case components for damage and replace if necessary.
Inspect the pole clamp for damage and check that it functions correctly.
Inspect the AC power supply plug and cable for damage.

The IVAC® PCAM® Syringe Pump is designed to be serviced generally to major assembly level.
The circuitry within the pump is contained on four printed circuit boards (PCBs): Control PCB, Display PCB, Power Supply PCB and
Communications PCB. In addition, two flexible printed circuits are utilised to hold the optical sensors and to provide the necessary
interconnects to the moving parts of the pump.
Cardinal Health will make available, on request, circuit diagrams which will assist appropriately qualified technical personnel to repair
those parts of the device which are designated by the manufacturer as repairable.
Control PCB
Contains the main processor module which provides the control functions for almost all aspects of the pump. It drives and monitors all
other modules using the program code stored in the flash EPROM. The main processor runs the main application program.
Power Supply Supervisor
The power supply voltage is monitored by IC6 which provides an active low reset signal to the microcontroller at power up and if
the regulated 5V input falls below a preset level. IC6 also switches battery backup power to the static RAM IC4 and real time clock
chip IC13.
Real-time Clock
The real time clock chip, IC13, maintains time and date information.
Watchdog
The watchdog alarm will enable the audible alarm on the Power Supply PCB and disable the motor supply current.
Audible Alarm Drive
The audible alarm is located on the Power Supply PCB, the alarm signal is fed to PL6.
AC/DC Input
The AC/DC input level is a high or low signal from the Power Supply PCB. The signal from the Power Supply PCB is high at PL6
when AC is connected and low when the pump is being operated from its internal battery.
Motor Drive and Speed control
The motor speed is controlled by adjusting both the mark-space ratio of the drive signal and its repetition rate applied to the DC
motor. In normal operation if the watchdog fails the power is prevented from reaching the motor.
The motor speed control algorithm uses three feedback signals from the optical switches. The optical encoder signals are all fed via
schmitt trigger inverters in IC14. The direction of the motor is monitored during operation using the optical encoder signals and
linear speed sensor.
Linear Speed Sensor
The linear movement of the pump transmission is monitored using a slotted optical switch, known as the linear speed opto,
coupled with a linear grid. As the optical switch moves over the slots in the linear grid, the signal from its output changes state. This
signal is applied to a schmitt trigger, IC14, via PL5 and the output is then read by the microcontroller via IC9. The LED in the optical
switch is switched on and off by TR9 so that the operation of the optical device can be self tested during normal operation.
Bonded Beam
The pumping pressure of the pump is detected by measuring the deflection of a beam at the end of the leadscrew on the
transmission by using a full bridge strain gauge. The output from the strain gauge is fed to a 2 stage differential amplifier, IC1. The
offset value of the amplifier i.e. with no pumping pressure applied, can be adjusted using potentiometer RV1, and is set during
calibration.
End of Infusion Detect
The near end of infusion point is detected using a slotted optical switch which is mounted on the motor mounting plate of the
transmission assembly. The signal from the optical switch changes state, thus detecting a near end of infusion, when a flag which is
mounted on the transmission carriage passes through the slot in the optical switch. The change of state position is independent of
the actual syringe near end of infusion point. The change of state initiates a countdown to the near end of infusion alarm point in
software. The countdown depends upon the syringe type and rate of infusion. This signal is applied to a schmitt trigger then read
via IC9.
Plunger Detect
The syringe plunger button position is detected using a slotted optical switch. The signal from the optical switch changes state
when the syringe plunger is located correctly; this signal is fed to IC9.
Transmission Disengaged Detect
A microswitch is mounted on the transmission carriage to detect when the transmission drive has been disengaged. The signal
from the microswitch changes state when the declutch levers are activated. This signal is fed via IC16 to the microcontroller.
Visual Indicators
The start and stop LEDs are located on the Display PCB but are driven through IC15. The AC power LED is driven directly from the
Power Supply PCB via connections on the Control PCB.
The keypad is located on the Display PCB but is polled from the Control PCB by sequentially taking the keypad columns low and
testing the state of the keypad rows to determine which button is activated. The keypad columns are driven through IC15, via the
data bus and the keypad rows are read directly into the microcontroller via input pins.
LCD Display Drive
The LCD display is located on the Display PCB; data is passed using the data bus to a graphics controller located on the Display PCB.
Syringe Size Measurement
A linear potentiometer mounted in the upper case detects the movement of the syringe clamp shaft. The linear potentiometer is
configured as a potential divider and produces a signal relative to the syringe diameter. The signal from the potentiometer is fed
into the one of the ADC inputs of the microcontroller.
Serial Communications
The serial interface signals, respiration alarm input and nurse call alarm output are fed to PL7. Pull up resistors are fitted to the RX
inputs so that if a Communications PCB is not fitted the inputs to the microcontroller are held high.
Backlight Power Supply Inverter
Warning: This circuit has high output voltage. the pump must only be serviced by qualified personnel using the recommended
equipment.
The Display PCB backlight is supplied by a switched mode inverter power supply on the Control PCB. The main controller for the
supply is IC8 which generates a pulse output on pin 7. The supply operates to control the lamp current at about 5mA and operates
over the full mains unregulated supply and internal battery voltages, fed via MVCC.
Power Supply PCB
The Power Supply PCB is located in the lower case. All connections between the Power Supply PCB and the Control PCB are made via
PL5.
Mains Input (AC Power)
The pump can be operated either from 110/120V or 220/240V AC power supplies depending on the configuration of the links
on the Power Supply PCB. (LK1 & LK3 for 110/120V, or LK2 for 220/240V; these links are made using insulated wire on the noncomponent side of the PCB). AC power is applied to the pump using a standard IEC connector from which an internal connection
takes the AC power to the power supply PCB via PL1. The live connection is protected by fuse, FS1.
Battery Charging
The internal lead acid battery is automatically recharged whenever the pump is connected to the AC power supply. The battery
is protected against short circuit by a fuse FS2, rated at 2A. Fuse FS3 provides a separate ground connection for the audible alarm
such that if fuse FS2 were to blow when the pump is running on the internal battery, a continuous alarm would sound.
Audible Alarm
The audible alarm is located on the power supply PCB and can be enabled either by the audible alarm drive, or the watchdog alarm
signal.
Handset
The handset connector PL4 provides power to switch on the handset LEDs and also feeds a voltage from the handset back to the
Control PCB. See 'General Options', HANDSET MODE in Chapter 2 for further details.
Keyswitch
The keyswitch has three positions. In the OFF position the power to the pump is isolated leaving only the battery charger
operational on mains. In the SET and RUN positions power is supplied via PL2 so that the microcontroller and its software can
determine the switch position.
Display PCB
The Display PCB is located in the upper case. All connections between the Display PCB and the Control PCB are via PL2 and PL4. For
the purposes of maintenance and repair, the Display PCB is supplied as a complete module, however, the Backlight can be replaced
separately.
Keypad
The keypad is made up of 10 individual mechanical switches and is arranged in an X-Y matrix. The keypad is polled from the Control
PCB.
Backlight
The LCD panel is backlit by a CCFL lamp which is mounted along one edge of the Display PCB. The backlight power supply is driven
from the Control PCB.
Two flexible circuits are used to connect the motor, opto switches and declutch microswitch on the transmission to the Control PCB.
Motor Optical Encoders
Two slotted optical switches are mounted on the back of the motor/gearbox assembly to detect the speed and direction of
rotation. The optical switches are activated by a flag mounted on the rear output shaft of the motor.
End of Infusion Optical Switch
A slotted optical switch is mounted on the transmission motor plate to detect the near end of infusion point. It is activated by a
flag which is mounted on the transmission carriage.
Linear Speed Optical Switch
A slotted optical switch is mounted on the transmission carriage and is used in conjunction with a slotted grid to monitor the linear
travel of the pump.
Declutch Microswitch
A micro switch is mounted on the transmission carriage to detect when the transmission drive has been disengaged.
Plunger Detect Optical Switch
A slotted optical switch is mounted inside the plunger holder. It detects when a syringe plunger is correctly located in the plunger
holder.
Communications PCB
The Communications PCB is located in the lower case. The RS232/Printer/Nursecall/Alarm Input interfaces are incorporated on the PCB.
RS232 interface
An isolated circuit forms the communication RS232 interface, using IC3 and IC4.
Printer/Smart Card interface
This interface allows data to be sent to a printer (or a smart card) from the Control PCB microcontroller.
Nursecall interface
The nurse call interface allows the pump to be monitored remotely and/or controlled via a suitable central monitoring or computer
system.
Note: On earlier pump models, the isolated Nursecall circuit PL3 is used to allow connection to a conventional nurse call system.
A single relay contact is open during normal operation of the pump. If the pump alarms or the power is switched off the relay
contacts close, activating the nurse call circuit.
Alarm Input interface
The alarm input allows the pump infusion to be stopped and an alarm to occur if the input is set to active. A common use of this
interface is to connect the pump to a respiration monitor. If ALM IN input, pin 1 is pulled low by connection to pin 5 of the interface
connector PL1, a current is established in the opto, OP7. The opto output then switches and can be monitored by the Control PCB
microcontroller.
Ensure the pump is disconnected from the AC power supply and switched off before attempting to
service the pump
The pump contains static-sensitive components. Observe strict ESD precautions at all times
Always protect the plunger holder and syringe clamp when the pump is upside down. For regular
servicing, the use of the case support cradle, part number 5000JG00001, is recommended
Ensure that no undue force is applied to the plunger holder and the leadscrew, when the pump is
placed upside down to remove the six case retaining screws on the base
Batteries should be disposed of as outlined by the local country regulations: do not send back to
the manufacturer
Fastener torque settings are outlined in the 'Refitting notes' sections of this chapter
Only use Cardinal Healthrecommended spare parts
Following all spare part replacement and repair activities, testing must be performed in accordance
with the Performance Verification Procedure (PVP), see Chapter 3, 'Routine Maintenance'
Spare Parts: Throughout this chapter, spare part items denoted as H.1, H.2 etc indicate that these
parts are included in a higher level kit and are also available separately.
Spare Parts Replacement Procedures
Torque Guide
The torque levels established during the manufacturing process are outlined in the 'Refitting Notes' sections of this chapter. Torque
levels selected apply throughout product life for the IVAC® PCAM® Syringe Pumps.
Use the information as a guide to the 'do not exceed' torque levels when servicing the pump. When servicing, it is recommended that
torque is applied gradually until the component is secure. In any process do not exceed the stated levels.
If a torque driver is available for servicing this will help control the applied torque; otherwise, be aware that excess force may cause the
component to fail.
Where a torque level is not stated in the 'Refitting Notes' sections of this chapter then fixing should be
hand-tight.
Always use the correct torque level when performing an assembly stage.
Take care with the torque applied when re-assembling parts.
The head patterns of the fasteners are of the following types:
- Pozi Number 1 (smaller X head)
- Pozi Number 2 (larger X head)
- M3 (Hex head with 5.5mm across flats (AF) drivers)
Always select the correct tool and bit pattern for the fastener.
2. Remove the six case retaining screws and washers located on the base of the pump.
3. Carefully separate the upper and lower case halves and disconnect cables.
4. Reassemble in reverse order.
Refitting note:
When closing the case halves, ensure the longer ribbon cable (5000EL00049) is firmly adhered to the top of the PSU transformer
and folded correctly (see 'Power Supply PCB' illustration) and the shorter ribbon cable (1000EL00135) is stowed in front of the PSU
transformer. Also keep the narrow 4-pin keyswitch cable away from board components, it can be tucked around the front of the
Control PCB speaker.

Bond syringe clamp if the pump serial number is within the range 5001-00083 to 5001-02910.
Procedure:
1) Remove the two circlips and spirol pin that secure the syringe clamp assembly in the upper case then slide the
syringe clamp assembly out through the bush in the upper case. The potentiometer assembly and actuator can be
left in place.
2) Carefully knock out the syringe shaft spirol pin, clean out the syringe shaft hole and apply Loctite (item J.4), or
equivalent adhesive around the edge of the hole.
3) Reassemble the syringe clamp assembly, re-inserting the pin through the hole in the clamp and shaft.
4) Wipe off excessive adhesive and allow to cure for a minimum of 3 hours before refitting the syringe clamp assembly
into the pump. Note: If cure time of 3 hours cannot be tolerated, activators may be used to reduce the cure time.
Cover Lock Assembly, Case Sealing Cord (continued)
Refitting notes:
1) Orientate the circle etched on the lock barrel towards the front when inserting the lock into the case.
2) Ensure the lock assembly is not assembled too tightly.
3) Use retaining adhesive (for example, loctite 638) on the nut which secures the lock to the upper case.
4) Fit the latch cam, O-ring, washer and set cup screw (see Figure 1) when the rod is in position. When tightening the set cup (grub)
screw, it is important to ensure there is no lateral movement between the latch cam and the case.
Latch Cam Refitting Tip
To prevent any lateral movement between the latch cam and the case, tighten the set cup (grub) screw
as follows:
Hold the left end of the rod in position (away from the case side, biased from left to right), whilst
pushing the latch cam from right to left and fixing the grub screw.
Once complete, check from the outside that the latch is firmly butted up against the washer at the
leftmost position, without any sideways movement.
5) Use Loctite 243 on the socket set cup screw when fixing the latch cam to the rod.
6) On completion, check the lock mechanism operates correctly.

Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the
following symbol:
Note 1—At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
Note 2—These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from
structures, objects, and people.
Note 3—Compliance levels raised by EN 60601-2-24.
a The compliance levels in the ISM frequency bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz and in the frequency range 80 MHz to 2.5 GHz are intended
to decrease the likelihood that mobile/portable communications equipment could cause interference if it is inadvertently brought into patient
areas. For this reason, an additional factor of 10/3 is used in calculating the recommended separation distance for transmitters in these
frequency ranges.
b Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio,
AM and FM radio broadcast, and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due
to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the pump
is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the pump should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance
is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the pump.
c Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 10 V/m.
