To ensure this 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 lint-free cloth, lightly dampened with warm water and a
standard disinfectant/detergent solution.
Do not use the following disinfectant types:
NaDcc (such as PRESEPT)•
Hypochlorites (such as CHLORASOL)•
Aldehydes (such as CIDEX)•
Cationic Surfactants (such as Benzalkonium Chloride)•
Iodine (such as Betadine)•
The following products were tested and are acceptable for use on the Alaris® Syringe Pump range if used in accordance with the
specified manufacturer’s guidelines.
Before cleaning always switch OFF and disconnect from the AC power supply. Never allow fluid to enter the casing
A
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.
Use an appropriate cleaning method that does not allow an excess of fluid to accumulate around the keypads.
Aggressive cleaning can potentially create a fluid ingress path into the shelf keypad which can result in keypad
failure.
In case of failure, usually resulting in a KY1 error code, the shelf keypad must be replaced. As a preventive
measure, shelf keypads manufactured after week number 15, 2003 should be used since they offer more
protection to excessive cleaning. The week number may be found on the keypad connection tail.
We recommend that all pumps within the following serial numbers -
Alaris® GS Syringe Pump 08510 - 09976
Alaris® GH Syringe Pump 16437 - 22286
Alaris® CC Syringe Pump 03471 - 06632
Alaris® TIVA Syringe Pump 01310 - 02369
(or pumps outside of this range which had their shelf keypad replaced between 2nd July 2002 and 30th April
2003) have their shelf keypad replaced at the next routine service. All other pumps have a shelf keypad that does
not exhibit this potential risk.

Updates
Upgrading software
Recommended at the next service: If the pump has software versions V1.9.3 (MK1/2) or V2.3.5 (MK3) and below,
then upgrade to software version V1.9.4 (MK1/2) or V2.3.6 (MK3) or greater.
Strongly recommended: If the pump has software version V1.5.9 and below then upgrade the Alaris® Syringe
Pump (except the Alaris® TIVA Syringe Pump) software to the latest software versions, as this will address a
potential issue that may result in a condition where the running LED is flashing, the infusion status shows
"INFUSING" but the volume infused display will not increment and no drug will be infused into the patient.
This potential issue may occur under the following remote circumstances :-
If the pump is subsequently stopped and restarted, the infusion will start normally.
Mandatory: If the Alaris® PK Syringe Pump software is below V3.2.16 then upgrade to software version V3.2.16
or greater. This will provide an additional advice screen for the Propofol Schnider model usage, alerting the user
that a Tpeak of 1.6 minutes is used.
When upgrading a pump from one software version to another where the first or middle digit changes, cold start
will be required before and after software upgrade, unless otherwise stated in a Technical Information Notice.
Calibration will also be required after software upgrade and cold start.
