Operating Precautions
Disposable Infusion Sets
To ensure correct and accurate operation, only use CareFusion dedicated infusion sets described in this
Directions For Use.
It is recommended that infusion sets are changed according to the instructions in the 'Changing the Infusion
Set' section. Carefully read the Directions For Use supplied with the infusion set prior to use.
Use of non-specified infusion sets may impair the operation of the pump and the accuracy of the infusion.
When combining several apparatus and/or instruments with infusion sets and other tubing, for example via
a 3-way tap or multiple infusion, the performance of the pump may be affected and should be monitored
closely.
Uncontrolled flow may result if the infusion set is not properly isolated from the patient i.e. closing a tap in
the set or activating an in-line clamp / roller clamp.
The infusion set may be fitted with an in-line clamp, which can be used to occlude tubing in case it is required
to stop fluid flow.
The IVAC® 598 Volumetric Pump is a positive pressure pump, which should use infusion sets fitted with luer
lock fittings or equivalent locking connectors.
To infuse from a burette, close the roller clamp above the burette and open the clamp on the vent on top of
the burette.
Discard infusion set if the packaging is not intact or the protector cap is detached. Ensure sets are not kinked
as this may occlude the tubing.
Using Collapsible Bags, Glass Bottles and Semi Rigid Containers
It is recommended that the air vent be opened on the IVAC® 598 Volumetric Pump set if using glass bottles
or semi-rigid containers, to reduce the partial vacuum formed as the fluid is infused from the container.
This action will ensure the pump can maintain volumetric accuracy whilst the container empties. The action
of opening the air vent for semi-rigid containers should take place after the spiking of the container and
priming of the drip chamber.

Operating Environment
When using any infusion pump in conjunction with other pumps or devices requiring vascular access,
extra care is advised. Adverse delivery of medication or fluids can be caused by the substantial variation in
pressures created within the fluid channels of 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 mains power supply network that supplies buildings
used for domestic purposes. However, it may be used in domestic establishments under the supervision of
medical professionals with additional necessary appropriate measures. (Consult Technical Service Manual,
appropriately trained technical personnel or CareFusion for further information). Mains power quality should
be that of a typical commercial or hospital environment.
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
The pumping pressure alarm system is not designed to provide protection against, or detection of,
extravasation or tissuing 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.

IVAC® 598 Volumetric Pump
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.
The IVAC® 598 Volumetric Pump is a Class I device, therefore must be earthed when connected to an AC
power supply.
The Pump also has an internal power source.
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.
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 a qualified service
engineer. 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.
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 abnormally high 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. 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 manufacturers’ 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, the Pump emits a certain level of electromagnetic radiation which is
within the levels specified by IEC/EN60601-1-2. 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 appropriately trained technical personnel.
