Edition)

INFUSION PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS

Carefully read and follow accompanying syringe extension set instructions for priming the set and the recommended set change interval.

The syringe and syringe extension set should be disposed of in an appropriate manner, considering the nature of the residual fluid that may be contained within and in accordance with the hospital/homecare provider's disposal practices.

Drugs for infusion to be used with the syringe pump may only be prescribed by a qualified medical practitioner. Caution must be exercised in the selection of drugs and the amount and rate intended to be delivered via syringe pump.

If the drug contained in the syringe will be exposed to extreme environmental conditions for prolonged time periods, it is important to select drugs that will not change pharmacologically upon such exposure.

As with all automatic syringe pumps, whenever a toxic or dangerous level of drug is stored in the reservoir, constant/frequent monitoring of the infusion is required.

In all applications, time to alarm under occlusion or other fault conditions will depend on the infusion rate and levels of alarm settings. It is recommended to consider these parameters when using drugs requiring infusion stability or low flow rates and therefore a quick time to alarm.

Do not use Slip-tip syringes. Luer Lock syringes must always be used to ensure secure connection of the syringe extension set and the syringe pump.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS

The maximum volume that may be infused under single fault condition is 0.1 ml.

Potential strangulation may occur if the cables/tubing are of excessive length.

Potential choking may occur if small parts are inhaled or swallowed.

DFU999-103EN Rev. 04

Section 1: General Information

Use of accessories other than those specified or provided by the manufacturer of this equipment could result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic immunity of this equipment and result in improper operation.

Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the T34TM syringe pump, including cables specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment could result.

PUMP ACCURACY

The following graphs and curves were derived from testing described in IEC60601-2-24. Testing was performed under normal conditions at room temperature (72°F or 22°C). Any deviations from normal conditions and room temperature may cause changes in the accuracy of the syringe pump.

Start-up Curves

The Start-up curves represent continuous flow versus operating time for two hours from the start of the infusion, measured for infusion rates of 5 ml/h and 1 ml/h. 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 according to IEC 60601-2-24 standard.

Trumpet Curves

With the T34™, as with all infusion systems, variations cause short term fluctuations in rate accuracy.

The following curves show typical performance of the system in two ways:

1. The accuracy of fluid delivery over various time periods is measured (trumpet curves).

2. The delay in onset of fluid flow when infusion commences (start up curves). 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 fluctuation has 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 shelf life of the drug being infused and the degree of inter-vascular integration. The clinical effect cannot be determined from the trumpet curves alone.

Section 2: Disposables and Accessories

2.1 Syringe Brands and Sizes

The T34™ Syringe Pump is programmed to recognize most commonly used syringes from 2 ml to 50 ml. Luer Lock syringes should always be used to ensure secure connection of the syringe extension set and syringe.

To avoid accidental selection of an incorrect brand of syringe during setup, it is recommended to disable all syringe types not in regular use. Unused syringe types can be disabled by an authorised technician.

Do not use Slip-tip syringes. Luer Lock syringes must always be used to ensure secure connection of the syringe extension set and the syringe pump.

Should you need to operate the T34™ Syringe Pump with a syringe manufacturer and/or brand other than those listed here, please consult either your local medical engineering department or CME Ltd. Technical Services.

Syringe Volumes

Due to the physical length of the screw that drives the syringe plunger forward there are limits to the maximum amount of infusate that can be delivered from larger syringes and on some smaller syringes there is an undeliverable volume of infusate that will remain in the syringe once the actuator has driven to the zero position.

Braun 2 ml, BD 10 ml, Codan 10 ml, Monoject 3 ml, Monoject 12 ml, Monoject 35 ml, Nipro 10 ml and Nipro 20 ml syringes cannot empty completely, potentially a small volume of infusate will be left in the syringe due to limitations of the syringe pump and the syringes design. The T34™ Syringe Pump will display the volume as, for example, Vol 5 (of 5.2)ml. In this example the syringe pump can only deliver 5 ml of the 5.2 ml in the syringe and when the syringe pump has driven the syringe plunger as far forward as possible, 0.2 ml will remain in the syringe. The potential volumes that might remain in the syringes are listed in the table below:

Syringe size and brand Undeliverable infusate volume

Braun Omnifix 2 ml 0.000 ml to 0.114 ml

2.2 Syringe Extension Sets

INTRODUCTION

The T34™ Syringe Pump can be operated with any syringe extension set with a Luer connection. However, it is recommended, to optimise system accuracy and performance, that proprietary syringe extension sets from CME Ltd. are used. All CME Ltd. syringe extension sets have siphon/free flow protection.

FEATURES AND CHARACTERISTICS

Feature Description

Materials

Tubing

Slide clamp Clamps: to prevent fluid flow to patient (optional on some syringe extension sets).

Pressure activated antisiphon/anti-reflux valve

The syringe extension sets are manufactured using PVC materials that do not contain latex or di-2ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP).

Micro-bore: require small priming volumes.

Anti-kink: to prevent kinking or occlusion particularly in configuration.

Various lengths available.

All CME Ltd. syringe extension sets contain an anti-syphon valve to prevent uncontrolled flow of fluid either into or from the patient.

The syringe extension set with pressure activated anti-siphon/anti-reflux valve reduces the potential for uncontrolled flow and backflow (backtracking).

The pressure-activated anti-siphon valve requires pressure to open. The syringe pump occlusion pressure setting may require adjustment to prevent occlusion alarms.

The anti-syphon valve enhances pump functioning by:

• Preventing siphoning (uncontrolled flow) in the event the syringe extension set is detached from the syringe pump or mechanical malfunction, and

• Preventing reflux (back-flow) in the event several infusion pumps are connected simultaneously to the same patient.

Luer Lock end connector

Ensure the syringe extension set is NOT connected to the patient during priming.

A kinked or occluded syringe extension set may impair the operation and accuracy of the syringe pump. Before operation, verify that the syringe extension set is not kinked or occluded.

Note: The recommended syringe extension set change interval is maximum 72 hours.

The syringe extension set is designed to be connected to Luer Lock syringes.

Luer Lock syringes allow a connection between male and female Luer. This provides a secure connection and prevents accidental removal.

ADVISORY WARNINGS AND NOTES FOR SYRINGES AND SYRINGE EXTENSION SETS

Component damage may occur if the syringe extension set is not correctly attached to the syringe. Assure all connections are secure: Do not over-tighten connection. This will help minimise leaks, disconnection and component damage.

Disposables (as with any infusion) used with the syringe pump must be compatible with the drug/fluid being delivered. Check with the manufacturer of the disposables before use. Consult the fluid or drug manufacturer's information for precautions, guidelines, and instructions for preparation and use of disposables.

Replace the syringe and/or syringe extension set in accordance with local guidelines.

Use aseptic technique when filling the syringe and priming the syringe extension set. Patient infection may result from the use of non-sterile components. Maintain sterility of all syringe extension set components and do not re-use single-use syringe extension sets.

Syringes and syringe extension sets should be disposed of in an appropriate manner, considering the nature of the residual fluid that may be contained within, in accordance with the hospital/homecare provider's disposal practices.

Note: Tested at flow rates and occlusion thresholds as described in the table above, using a BD Plastipak 20 ml syringe.

If a battery is too tight, do not try to force it into the battery compartment as this may damage the battery contacts.

Only use accessories designed for the system. Unsafe operation may result from using improper accessories. Use only accessories and options designed for this system and supplied or recommended by the T34™ Syringe Pump distributor.

BATTERY LIFE

Factors that affect battery life include:

• Pump settings,

• Infusion rate,

• The number of interventions that occur (e.g. stopping/starting infusions, manual movement of actuator and backlight activation),

• The number of key presses that occur, and

• Frequency of LED green light flashing.

The syringe pump battery meter displays battery life remaining as a percentage (%).

• When the battery power is low a low battery alert will activate.

• When the battery power is almost depleted, an end of battery alarm will activate.

• The end of battery alarm will continue until the user presses key to confirm or the battery power is fully depleted.

Refer to alerts, alarms and troubleshooting section for further information on alerts, alarms and troubleshooting.

INDICATIONS TO CHANGE A BATTERY

Guidance for battery changing may vary for different areas according to local policy and where the syringe pump is to be used and who is managing the syringe pump (healthcare professional or patient).

If the syringe pump is being managed in an environment where designated personnel are available at all times to change a battery if necessary, the low battery alert can be used as an indication to change a battery.

If the syringe pump is being managed in an environment where designated personnel are unavailable to change a battery

Note:

if necessary, the following rule applies: To ensure delivery of 24 hours at flow rate of up to 1ml/h, always change to a new battery.
