damage if proper procedures are not followed.

Chapter 1—Introduction Cautions
Cautions
Cautions provide information needed to safely and effectively use the Alaris® product.
A CAUTION is an alert to a potential
hazard which could result in minor personal injury and/or product
damage if proper procedures are not followed.
CAUTION
• Loading the System Maintenance Software is considered a non-clinical
service activity. Interconnecting a medical device with a personal computer
might cause the safety or electromagnetic environment to change while the
connection exists. The threat of higher leakage currents or EMI disturbance
levels might be present. Remove the connection at both ends before patient
use.
• By default, the System Maintenance Software is set to automatically clear
logs after they are downloaded. Once log entries have been cleared, they
cannot be downloaded again from the instrument. The log entries remain in
the database and can be displayed using the View Reports tab in the main
window.
• Only one PC Unit should be connected to a group of attached modules at
any given time. Connection of multiple PC Units to each other will cause
damage to the IUI connectors.
• Only one SpO
• If a Pump Module fails the patient-side occlusion or rate accuracy verification
(RAV) tests, calibration is required. Failure to calibrate and retest the
instrument might result in improper instrument operation.
Module can be connected to the PC Unit at any one time.

• For tests that require water, use distilled water at room temperature between
41°F and 104°F (5°C to 40°C). If water is not within this temperature range,
the reading might be inaccurate.
• If multiple instances of the System Maintenance Software are running
(typically on different personal computers), it is possible to assign dif ferent IP
addresses to the same PC Unit. To ensure this does not occur, assign each
PC Unit a single, unique IP address.
NOTE: If the System Maintenance Software instances are connected to the
same System Maintenance Software databases, this problem cannot occur.
• Calibration verifications perform strenuous tests on the Syringe Module and
PCA Module. In some cases, these tests differ from the check-in/preventive
maintenance tests.
• Following calibration, use calibration verifications (rather than check-in/
preventive maintenance verifications) to verify correct calibration.
• Use of accessories or cables ot he r th an thos e spec ifie d mig ht res ult in

• The flow rate out of the gas source and into the EtCO
Module must be

greater than 0.5 liter/minute to ensure accurate readings. It is r ecommended
to place a flow meter between the gas source and th e “T” in the line (b reather
