Alaris™ PK Plus Syringe Pump

Introduction

This Directions for use can be used with the Alaris™ PK Plus Syringe Pump MK4.

The Pumps can be identified as MK4 version by the MK4 on

The Alaris PK Plus Syringe Pump (hereinafter referred to as Pump) provides the user with an infusion tool for the administration of drugs for anaesthesia. The embedded software within the Pump is loaded with three compartment pharmacokinetic predictive models and has 4 modes of operation:

1. Continuous infusion (ml/h)

2. Total Intravenous Anaesthesia (TIVA) mode.

3. Total Intravenous Anaesthesia (TIVA) with TCI predictions mode.

4. TCI Mode

The Alaris PK Plus Syringe Pump has a user friendly interface that displays the infusion rate, the total drug dose delivered, and the estimated plasma and effect-site concentrations to enable the user to follow the drug prescription information from the relevant country.

the label on the rear case, see image right, or by verifying the software version as 3.3.0 or above on power up.

– In this mode the user is able to select the infusion rate and administer bolus doses as required.

– In this mode the user is able to select the infusion rate and administer bolus doses as required. The pharmacokinetic model is

used to estimate the plasma and effect site concentration.

• Plasma target-controlled infusion (TCI). – In this mode the user selects the desired (target) plasma drug concentration, and the pharmacokinetic model is used to

calculate the infusion rates required to achieve that concentration. A graphic display shows the trajectory of the estimated plasma and effect site drug concentration over time.

• Effect Site target-controlled infusion (TCI). – In this mode the user sets the desired effect site target concentration and the pharmacodynamic model is used to calculate

the infusion rates required to achieve that concentration. A graphic display shows the trajectory of the estimated effect site and plasma concentration over time.

Intended Purpose

The Alaris PK Plus Syringe Pump is intended for use by medical staff for purposes of controlling infusion rate and volume.

Conditions of Use

The Alaris PK Plus Syringe Pump should only be operated by a clinician competent in use of automated syringe pumps and postplacement management of intravenous catheters.

Use of the Alaris PK Plus Syringe Pump does not limit the responsibility of the anaesthetist for drugs administration. It is important that users operating the Alaris PK Plus Syringe Pump are fully aware of the available literature for any model used in association with a drug and that they refer to the prescribed information for rate and dosing limits. Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Interactions among anaesthetic drugs are known, but are not taken into account in the calculation of the plasma and effect site concentrations.

The user should be appropriately trained in the use of the Pump and should follow the recommendations of this Direction For Use (DFU).

In particular, the user must be aware that starting the Pump in a TCI mode will result in the automatic infusion of a pre-calculated bolus dose followed by an infusion to achieve the selected target concentration. The initial parameter calculations are displayed on screen prior to starting the infusion. It is thus essential that the user verifies that the patient characteristics and the selected infusion rate or target concentration conform with the drug prescribing information of the relevant country.

CareFusion has verified the accuracy of the mathematical model implementation as well as pump delivery accuracy - (specification and accuracy of pump - delivery are available in 'Profiles from TCI Mode' section).

Different drugs are associated with dedicated models – each model consists of a set of standard pharmacokinetic parameters which can be selected and used by the embedded 3 compartment model used in the Alaris PK Plus Syringe Pump (where use of that drug in TCI mode is authorised);

Diprivan from ASTRA-ZENECA is the only recommended Propofol formulation to be used in TCI mode as per prescribing information. This Pump includes the Marsh model for the calculation of the Diprivan infusion rates, and plasma and effect-site concentrations.

When Remifentanil and Sufentanil are used in TCI mode, – the Minto and Gepts models respectively – are used to calculate the required infusion rates.

TCI Overview

The dose-response relationship can be divided into three parts: the relationship between administered dose and plasma concentration (the pharmacokinetic phase), the relationship between effect organ concentration and clinical effect (the pharmacodynamic phase) and the coupling between pharmacokinetics and dynamics. The ultimate goal when administering a particular dose of a drug is to obtain the desired clinical effect, for which a specific therapeutic concentration of the drug at the site of action (the receptor) is necessary.

Fig. 1: Schematic representation of the pharmacokinetic and dynamic processes determining the relationship between administered dose and resulting effect intensity of a drug. Pharmacokinetic factors such as distribution, metabolism, and/or excretion determine the relationship between drug dose and drug-concentration in the plasma and bio-phase (effect-site). In the bio-phase the drug interacts with the receptor resulting in the pharmacological effect.

Until recently, when intravenous anaesthetic agents were used for induction or maintenance of anaesthesia, they were administered either manually (by hand) or by simple infusion pumps (the anaesthetist calculated the infusion according to the body weight of the patient). Inline measurement of concentrations is not possible, and the polyexponential equations required to predict the concentrations requires vast computer processing power. Based on the pioneering work of Kruger-Thiemer2 and Schwilden et al.3, the TCI concept was developed during the 1980’s and early 1990’s, as advances in computer technology made inline predictions of drug concentrations feasible.

The pharmacokinetic behaviour of most anaesthetic drugs can be described mathematically with a 3-compartment model: usually a central compartment (V1), a vessel-rich compartment (V2) and a vessel-poor compartment (V3) are described. Transfer of drug between different compartments (distribution) is described by rate constants (k by the rate constant k10 (Fig. 2). The aim of TCI techniques is to use pharmacokinetic modelling to calculate the infusion rates required to achieve a desired plasma concentration. Thus, instead of specifying an infusion rate, the user specifies a "target" concentration, based on clinical judgement. When a concentration in the plasma compartment is targeted, this is called "open-loop plasma targeted TCI". When a certain concentration at the effect compartment is targeted, then this is called "open-loop effect-site targeted TCI".

, k21, k31 and k13) or clearances. Drug metabolism is described

Fig. 2: Schematic representation of the three compartment model used for target-controlled infusions.

For anaesthetic agents the effect-site (or bio-phase) is not the plasma4 but the brain, where concentrations cannot be directly measured. Until the early 1990’s it was considered that blood-brain equilibration was virtually instantaneous. Early TCI systems were thus all plasma-targeted. For many drugs the relationship between plasma concentration and clinical effect was described, usually in terms of the Cp50 or Cp95 (the concentrations required to elicit a specified clinical effect in 50 or 95% of patients respectively). For an example see Ausems et al.

During the 1990’s it was increasingly appreciated that after a change in plasma concentration there is a temporal delay in equilibration between the plasma and effect-site concentrations. The clinical effect changes in parallel with the effect-site concentration, and so for most drugs the rate of drug transfer into and from the site of action can be characterized by the time-course of drug effect

6,7

. This means that the effect can be transferred to concentrations, thereby resulting in a quantitative approach. The concentration at the site of action is called "the effect-site concentration" and the corresponding compartment8 (see Fig. 3) is called "the effect-site compartment". Because the actual amount of drug entering the brain is very small, the effect-site compartment can be regarded as having no volume, the rate constant k1e can be ignored and the rate constant keo can be used to describe the rate of equilibration between the plasma and effect-site compartments.

TCI Overview

Knowledge of the keo for various agents has made targeting of the effect-site possible. With effect-site targeting the TCI system first calculates the necessary plasma concentration profile required to achieve the effect-site target as rapidly as possible, and then calculates the infusion rates required to achieve that plasma concentration profile (Fig 3). Effect Site vs Plasma Concentration will generate a larger induction dose followed by a pause in the infusion to allow plasma to equilibrate with effect site concentration.

TCI infusion pumps can provide optimal control of anaesthesia when the three elements mentioned above have been accurately modelled and described. Firstly, the model that controls the Pump has to work accurately (The models used in the Alaris PK Plus Syringe Pump are well-validated and accepted). Secondly, the pharmacokinetic parameter set of a particular drug used by the computer model should match the pharmacokinetics of the patient (it should be remembered that the models described in the literature are based on "population" data, and apply to an "average" patient. They do not take account of the inter-patient pharmacokinetic variability). Thirdly, the pharmacodynamics of the administered drug should be well understood to enable the user to select the plasma or effect-site concentration needed for the required effect (with most anaesthetic agents there is broad inter-patient pharmacodynamic variability, and so the user needs to match knowledge of the general population pharmacodynamic data with careful observation of the individual patient to ascertain that individual’s sensitivity to the drug, to enable titration to effect if necessary).

Note: Specific model parameters are available in the "TCI Overview" section or directly on the Pump via the information key when

selecting drugs. Users should refer to the drug- prescribing information to verify that TCI mode is authorised in their respective countries.

TCI Precautions

When first starting the infusion the pharmacokinetic / pharmacodynamic models within the Alaris PK Plus Syringe Pump are reset to zero. Therefore, for any reason, if the Pump is switched off during the surgical procedure all current pharmacokinetic / pharmacodynamic model information will be lost. Under such circumstances switching the Pump off and on and restarting the infusion whilst the patient contains a significant residual drug dose could result in an over-infusion and, therefore, the Pump should not be restarted in TCI mode.

Operating Precautions

Disposable Syringes and Extension Sets

• The Pump has been calibrated for use with single-use disposable syringes. To ensure correct and accurate operation, only use 3 piece Luer lock versions of the syringe make specified on the Pump or described in this manual. Use of non-specified syringes or extension sets may impair the operation of the Pump and the accuracy of the infusion.

• Uncontrolled flow or syphoning may result if the syringe is located incorrectly in the Pump, or if it is removed from the Pump before the extension set is properly isolated from the patient. Isolation may include closing a tap in the patient line or activating a flow stop clamp.

• Secure the extension set to the Pump using the extension set hook at the rear of the Pump. This provides protection against accidental dislodging of the syringe from the Pump.

• When combining several apparatus and/or instruments with extension sets and other tubing, for example via a 3-way tap, the performance of the Pump may be impacted and should be monitored closely.

• Always clamp or otherwise isolate the patient line before unclamping or removing a syringe from the Pump. Failure to do so may result in unintended administration.

Mounting the Pump

• When more than one pump is being used on a patient, those containing high risk, critical medications must be positioned as close to the patient's heart level as possible to avoid the risk of variations in flow or siphoning.

• Raising a Pump whilst infusing may result in a bolus of the infusate, whereas lowering a Pump whilst infusing may result in a delay in the infusion (an underinfusion).

• Do not mount the Pump in a vertical position with the syringe pointing upwards as this could lead to an infusion of air which may be in the syringe. To protect against the introduction of air the user should regularly monitor the progress of the infusion, syringe, extension line and patient connections and follow the priming procedure specified herein.

Alaris™ PK Plus Syringe Pump

Operating Precautions

Operating Environment

• Intended environments include intensive care and operating rooms. Ensure that the Pump is appropriately attached using the provided pole clamp. If the Pump is dropped or experiences any severe physical disturbances, arrange a thorough inspection by Qualified Service Personnel as soon as is practically possible. The Pump may be used as long as the temperature is within the specified range as stated in the 'Specifications' section and on the Pump label.

• When using any infusion pump in conjunction with other pumps or devices requiring vascular access, extra care is necessary. Adverse delivery of medication or fluids can be caused by the substantial variation in pressures created within the infusion system by such pumps. Typical examples of those pumps are used during dialysis, bypass or cardiac assist applications.

• The Pump is suitable for use in hospital and clinical environments other than domestic establishments and those directly connected to the public single phase AC Power Supply network that supplies buildings used for domestic purposes. (Consult Technical Service Manual, Qualified Service Personnel or CareFusion for further information).

• The Pump is not intended to be used in the presence of a flammable anaesthetic mixture with air or oxygen or nitrous oxide.

Operating Pressure

• This is a positive pressure Pump designed to achieve very accurate fluid administration by automatically compensating for resistance encountered in the infusion system.

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

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.

Operating Precautions

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.

• 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 in the installation or its arrangement is in doubt, the Pump should be operated from the battery.

• Do not open the RS232/Nurse Call protective covering when not in use. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions are required when connecting RS232/Nurse Call. Touching the pins of the connectors may result in ESD protection failure. It is recommended that all actions must be taken by appropriately trained personnel..

• If the 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 Qualified Service Personnel. 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.

• The embedded Pump software incorporates limits and Pump configuration parameters. Qualified personnel must ensure the appropriateness of the limits, the compatibility of the drugs, and the performance of each Pump, as part of the overall infusion. Potential hazards include drug interactions, and inappropriate delivery rates and pressure alarms.

• Warning: Alaris Syringe Pumps should not be modified or altered in any way, except where explicitly directed or authorised by CareFusion. Any use of Alaris Syringe Pumps which have been altered or modified otherwise than in strict application of directions provided by CareFusion, is at your sole risk, and CareFusion does not provide any warranty for or endorsement on any Alaris Syringe Pump that has been so modified or altered. CareFusion product warranty shall not apply in the event the Alaris Syringe Pump has suffered damage or premature wear, or malfunctions or otherwise operates incorrectly, as a result of unauthorised modification or alteration of the Alaris Syringe Pump.

Operating Precautions

Electromagnetic Compatibility and Interference

• The 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.

• Therapeutic Radiation Equipment: Do not use the Pump in the vicinity of any Therapeutic Radiation Equipment. Levels of radiation generated by the radiation therapy equipment such as Linear Accelerator, may severely affect functioning of the Pump. Please consult manufacturer’s recommendations for safe distance and other precautionary requirements. For further information, please contact your local CareFusion representative.

• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): The Pump contains ferromagnetic materials which are susceptible to interference with magnetic field generated by the MRI devices. Therefore, the Pump is not considered an MRI compatible pump as such. If use of the Pump within an MRI environment is unavoidable, then CareFusion highly recommends securing the Pump at a safe distance from the magnetic field outside the identified ‘Controlled Access Area’ in order to evade any magnetic interference to the Pump; or MRI image distortion. This safe distance should be established in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations regarding electromagnetic interference (EMI). For further information, please refer to the product Technical Service Manual (TSM). Alternatively, contact your local CareFusion representative for further guidance.

• Accessories: Do not use any non-recommended accessory with the Pump. The Pump is tested and compliant with the relevant EMC claims only with the recommended accessories. Use of any accessory, transducer or cable other than those specified by CareFusion may result in increased emissions or decreased pump immunity.

• This Pump is a CISPR 11 Group 1 Class A device and uses RF energy only for its internal function 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/EN60601-1-2 and IEC/EN60601-2-

24. If the Pump interacts with other equipment, measures should be taken to minimise the effects, for instance by repositioning or relocation.

• 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 Qualified Service Personnel. (Consult Technical Service Manual for further information).

Do not mount the Pump with the AC power inlet or the syringe pointing upwards. This could affect the electrical safety

in the event of a fluid spill or lead to the infusion of air which may be in the syringe.

Pole Clamp Installation

Alaris™ PK Plus Syringe Pump

Getting Started

The pole clamp is fitted to the rear of the Pump and will provide secure fixing to vertical I.V. poles of a diameter between 15 and 40 mm.

1. Pull the folded pole clamp towards you and unscrew the clamp to leave enough room for the size of the pole.

2. Place Pump around pole and tighten screw until the clamp is secured to the pole.

Ensure the pole clamp is folded away and stored

within the recessed area at the rear of the Pump before connecting to a Docking Station/Workstation* or when not in use.

Never mount the Pump such that the I.V. infusion stand becomes top heavy or unstable.

Prior to each use, check the pole clamp:

• does not show any signs of excessive wear,

• does not show any signs of excessively loose movement in the extended, mountable position.

If these signs are observed, the Pumps should be taken out of service for examination by Qualified Service Personnel.

Recessed area

Docking Station/Workstation* or Equipment Rail Installation

The rotating cam can be fitted to the rectangular bar on the Docking Station/Workstation* or the equipment rail measuring 10 by 25mm.

1. Align the rotating cam on the rear of the Pump with the rectangular bar on the Docking Station/Workstation* or the equipment rail.

2. Hold the Pump horizontally, push the Pump firmly onto the rectangular bar or equipment rail.

3. The Pump should click into position when fitted to the bar.

4. Ensure that the Pump is positioned securely. Verify Pump is secure by gently pulling the Pump away from the Docking Station/ Workstation* without using the release lever. When the Pump is securely attached, it should not come off the Docking Station/ Workstation*.

5. To release, push the release lever and pull the Pump forwards.

Warning: Pump may fall off the Docking Station/Workstation* if not properly mounted which could result in user and/or

patient harm.

Syringe Loading

Prepare Syringe and Administration Set

To decrease potential start-up delays, delivery inaccuracies and delayed generation of occlusion alarms each time a new syringe is loaded:

• Use smallest syringe size possible, for example, if infusing 9 ml of fluid, use a 10 ml syringe.

• Use the PURGE SYRINGE or PURGE option on the Pump to decrease the delay in the start of the infusion, see Starting the Pump

section.

Warning: Use the smallest compatible syringe size necessary to deliver the fluid or medication; this is especially

Practice Recommendations:

important when infusing high risk or life-sustaining medications at low infusion rates, especially flow rates < 0.5 ml/h.

Warning: Purge the Pump system before starting an infusion or after replacing a near-empty syringe with a replacement syringe. When Purging ensure that the extension set is not connected to the patient.

• Tubing internal diameter: Smallbore or microbore tubing is recommended when infusing at low rates

• Filters: Internal volume, dead space, of in-line filters should be minimized

• Connection sites: Critical drugs should be connected as close to the vascular access site as possible

Positioning of Pump

Ensure that the Pump is as close to level of patient’s heart as possible.

Patient’s heart level should be in line with the middle of the Pump or the pressure disc for the Alaris CC Syringe Pumps.

w w

Warning: Adjusting the Pump's height relative to the patient's heart level can lead to temporary increases or decreases in fluid delivery

Caution: If using multiple syringe pumps and it is not clinically feasible to have all Pumps level with the patient’s heart, place the high risk or life-sustaining medications as close to the patient’s heart level as possible.

Caution: When infusing multiple high risk or life-sustaining medications, consider placing the Pumps infusing at the lowest rates as close to the level of the patient’s heart as possible.

Loading and Confirming a Syringe

Warning: To securely load and confirm a syringe carefully follow the steps below. An incorrect loading of a syringe

may result in misidentification of the syringe type and size. If then confirmed, this may lead to significant inaccuracy of the infusion rate and may also affect Pump performance.

Only use a syringe of the type stated on the Pump or in this manual. Using an incorrect syringe could adversely affect the accuracy of the infusion rate and may also affect Pump performance.

When drawing fluid into the syringe, draw enough to compensate for any 'dead space' volume in the extension set and syringe at the end of infusion as this cannot be fully infused.

IrDA, RS232 and Nurse call Specification

IrDA / RS232 / Nurse call Feature

The IrDA or RS232 / Nurse call is a feature on the Pump that allows connection to a PC or another Alaris Syringe Pump. This allows data to be transferred between the Pump and a PC or another Alaris Syringe Pump, (e.g. data sets to be uploaded to the Pump, Event Reports to be downloaded from the Pump and the Pump to be monitored remotely via a suitable central monitoring or computer system).

The nurse call interface provides a remote backup to the internal audible alarm. It should not be relied upon to replace

IrDA

monitoring of the internal alarm.

Refer to the Technical Service Manual for further information regarding the RS232 interface. Since it is possible to control the syringe Pump using the RS232 interface at some distance from the Pump and hence remote from the patient, responsibility for the control of the Pump is vested in the software run on the computer control system.

The assessment for the suitability of any software used in the clinical environment to control or receive data from the Pump lies with the user of the equipment. This software should include detection of the disconnection or other failure of the RS232 cable. The protocol is detailed in the Alaris Syringe Pump Communications Protocol and is for general information only.

Any connected analogue and digital components are required to meet IEC/EN60950 for data processing and IEC/EN60601 for medical devices. Anyone connecting additional devices to the signal input or output is a system configurator and responsible for meeting the requirements of the system standard IEC/EN60601-1-1.

Alaris™ PK Plus Syringe Pump

Trumpet Curves and Start-up Curves

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

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

The start-up curves represent continuous flow versus operating time 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 EN/IEC60601-2-24:1998 standard.

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, therefore the clinical effect cannot be determined from the trumpet curves alone.

Start-up and trumpet curves may not be indicative of operation under negative pressure.

Differences in factors such as size and plunger force in recognised syringes produced by other manufacturers can cause variations in accuracy and trumpet curves as compared to those represented. Additional curves for recognised syringes are available upon written request. For applications where flow uniformity is a concern, rates of 1.0ml/h or above are recommended.

Alaris™ PK Plus Syringe Pump

Profiles from TCI Mode

When targeting in TCI Mode the Alaris PK Plus Syringe Pump will automatically calculate the flow rate profile from the specific pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model for the selected drug. This section of the Directions For Use is intended to help users understand the profiled infusion and the performance accuracy attained from the TCI Pump.

Induction Bolus and maintenance rates are displayed before starting the titration. When initially starting the infusion or after increasing the target (plasma or effect) concentration by titration, the Pump will first deliver a bolus dose through a typically short, high rate infusion. On completion of this bolus, the Pump will immediately switch to a lower maintenance rate (when plasma target mode is used) or will pause for a period of time before switching to a lower maintenance rate (when effect site targeting mode is used). Once the maintenance phase is reached, any reduction made to the target (plasma or effect) concentration will typically result in the infusion rate reducing to zero until the predicted plasma (or effect) concentration reduces the new target value.

The Alaris PK Plus Syringe Pump updates the pharmacokinetic model driving the plasma (or effect) concentration prediction and the infusion rate every 10 seconds. The infusion rate graph, shown in the Infusion Rate vs Target concentration graphs was measured in accordance with the protocol described in the IEC60601-2-24

The Pump solves the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic algorithms so that the target (plasma or effect) concentration is attained as rapidly and as accurately as possible. However, the User may need to take into consideration the limitations of the physical system in attaining the target (plasma or effect) concentration; this includes:

• The limit on the flow rate permitted by the infusion pump mechanism;

• The limit on the flow rate permitted by the syringe size;

• The patient / drug dose limitation from the prescribing information to insure the safety of the administration;

• The variation in individual patient response to reach the plasma (or effect) concentration;

• The model specific cap rate.

A true assessment of the performance of the Alaris PK Plus Syringe Pump can be made if the volumetric error, that is the difference between the actual volume infused and the predicted volume infused, is calculated. For the Infusion Rate vs Target concentration graphs, over a one hour period, the Alaris PK Plus Syringe Pump has a mean volumetric accuracy in TCI Mode better than ±5%

By measuring the volume from the flow rate profile delivered from the Alaris PK Plus Syringe Pump and then introducing this into a reverse pharmacokinetic model the predicted plasma (or effect) concentration can be calculated from the flow rate. These are illustrated in the Predicted vs Ideal Concentration graphs, showing the typical performance of the system against changes in the target plasma (or effect) concentration for a typical, idealised profile. For the same targeted profile, the deviation of the predicted plasmatic (or effect) concentration (back calculated from the volume collected) from the expected Ideal plasma (or effect) concentration, results from the volumetric inaccuracy of the system (Pump and syringe). The Alaris PK Plus Syringe Pump will track the predicted plasma (or effect) concentration to within ±5% delays may decrease the accuracy of the predicted plasma (or effect) concentration particularly where high syringe drug concentrations are used in conjunction with large sizes of syringes and low target plasma (or effect) concentrations as the syringe plunger motion over time (proportional to the flow rate accuracy) will be significantly reduced.

of that calculated by pharmacokinetic model over a one hour period. Flow rate inaccuracies and start-up

Standard, with the data sample period reduced from 30 to 10 seconds.

For a given drug concentration, the volumetric error is proportional to the dose rate error. Knowledge of the system

The graphs illustrated in this section are for a Diprivan (1% Concentration); Diprivan (2% concentration), Remifentenil (50µg/ml concentration), and Sufentanil (5µg/ml concentration) are given for comparison. As an illustration of the effect the syringe size has on system performance, Remifentenil (50µg/ml concentration) is shown with a 50ml and 5ml syringe respectively.

The target (plasma or effect) concentrations shown are for illustrative purposes only.

accuracy over different time intervals may be of interest when assessing the impact of administering short-half life drugs. In these circumstances, short-term fluctuation in the infusion rate could have a clinical impact that cannot be determined from the performance profiles shown in Figures below. In general, the volumetric error will increase with small induction and maintenance rates, which may occur when with large volume syringes, high syringe concentrations, low patient weights and low target (plasma or effect) concentrations. For applications where system accuracy is important, maintenance rates less than 1.0 ml/h are not recommended; syringe sizes, drug concentrations / dilutions and target (plasma or effect) concentrations should be selected accordingly to ensure the maintenance rate exceeds this lower limit.
