Two channel relay
The use of the 2 channel relay is particularly recommended to avoid any infusion discontinuity, for example, in case of infusion of cardio-vascular or short half-life anaesthetic drugs.
Principle
The 2 channel relay consists in associating two channels that will infuse, either one after the other a same drug at the same administration.
In case of different concentrations for the same drug, the flow rate (in ml/h) calculation will be done automatically to respect the prescribed dose.
Installation of the two syringes can be done simultaneously only if the syringe of the second channel in relay has been validated after the activation of the 2 channel relay.
Pressing the PRIME/BOLUS key is mandatory for the channel in relay so as to improve the two channel relay performances.
In case the second syringe is installed later, the user will preprogram a prealarm « relay not ready » to be informed from 5 minutes to 1 hour before the end of infusion of the first syringe in order to complete the relay.
Recommendations to operate a 2 channel relay
The respect of these recommendations is mandatory when infusing hemodynamically unstable patients.
Orchestra® Infusion Workstation installation
Place Base Intensive at the same level or lower than the patient.
Use Module DPS from position 1 to position 6 only.
Syringes to be used
Adapt syringe size to the selected flow rate:
flow rate < 0.5 ml/h : 5 and 10 cc syringes,
0.5 ml/h < flow rate < 1 ml/h : 5, 10 and 20 cc syringes,
flow rate > 1 ml/h : any syringe size, i.e. 5, 10, 20, 50/60 cc.
Please refer to Module DPS syringe list.
2-channel relay syringe installation
Up to 24 hours before the infusion starts.
Always check that the selected syringe corresponds to the installed
syringe.
Make sure that the infusion line is not connected to the patient when
priming.
Prime till a drop appears at the end of the infusion line.
Patient connection
Use catheters with low priming volume and reduced compliance.
Unidirectional valves are authorised while anti-siphon valves are not (the
open pressure can generate infusion delay).
Carefully respect the cautions applying to continuous infusion of vaso-active drugs (dedicated access route, avoid discontinuous injection, …).

Precautions to be taken
The symbol visible on the condensed instruction guide of the devices recommends this Operator Guide should be completely read, in accordance with the EN 60 601-1 standard.
Fresenius Vial will not be liable for any damages or claims, medical or otherwise, of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or consequential, caused by improper use of this device.
Special attention must be paid to the stability of Orchestra® when several modules are used on Base Intensive.
From the 4th Module onwards, Orchestra® must be equipped with the Multifix accessory to ensure rigidity.
During transportation of Orchestra® with Multifix accessory, only install maximum 6 Modules on Base Intensive.
Use the device in horizontal position, on a table, or with the Multifix for use on a pole.
Fresenius Vial recommends not to place the Modules higher than 1,3 meter above patient.
We recommend you partially or completely recharge the battery when you receive the devices or in the case of prolonged storage so as to prevent all risk of premature discharge.
To preserve the environment, remove the battery from the device prior to destruction or at the end of the device life and as during normal maintenance replacement, return it to a competent recycling organisation. Proceed in the same way for the device itself (electronic boards, plastics…).
Avoid short circuit and excessive temperature.
Anaesthetic substances: the device must not be used in the presence of inflammable anaesthetic agents due to the risk of explosion. It should always be used away from all risk areas.
Use only disposable proposed in the Module DPS and Module MVP Operator’s Guide in accordance with local standard operating procedures and good clinical practices. Using NO recommended disposable could lead to serious hazards such as free flow or pump degradation.
Fuses should be replaced by equivalent parts. This should be done by a qualified technician. Refer to the part list of the technical manual for full specification.
The Base Intensive may only be connected to the mains with the power cord supplied by the manufacturer. Check that the supply voltage corresponds with the value indicated on the label placed underneath the device.
Do not exceed the permitted voltage whether the supply is from the mains, an external source or via the different external connections.
Standard precautions should be taken to prevent contamination or injuries while discarding the associate disposable (e.g.: syringes, extension sets, needles, etc.).
Only use Luer Lock connection to prevent disconnection due to infusion pressure.
Check that all equipment connected to Orchestra® resist to a pressure of 2000 HPa.
Do not use in conjunction with positive pressure infusion devices that could generate back pressure higher than 1 500 Hpa susceptible to damage infusion disposable and the device.
While in use, negative pressure variation may occur in the syringe, by the relative height from the device to the injection site or by combined infusion devices such as blood pump, alternative clamp, etc.
Pressure variation may generate flow discontinuity mainly noticeable at low flow rates.
When the container is placed higher than the injection site, please pay attention to correctly manipulate the infusion set only when the extension set is clamped or disconnected from patient side.
Make sure that infusion line does not hinder moving parts of other devices.
Fresenius Vial recommends the use of one way valves or positive pressure infusion devices for multi-line infusions. If there is no one way valve on a gravity infusion line during a multi-line infusion, this will make it impossible to detect occlusions on the patient side, and could result in accumulation of the drug being infused in the gravity line, which could later be infused in an uncontrolled manner when the occlusion is released. Place the connection between the gravity line and the pump-driver line as near to the start of the set as possible in order to minimise the dead space and consequently the impact of any change in flow rate on the gravity line.
One way valve
For « Y » connections used in 2 channel relay, it is recommended to prime the lines particularly in case of concentration changes where dead volumes of the sets may generate a risk of under or over dosage.
This device can be disturbed by environmental pressure or pressure variations, mechanical shocks, heat ignition sources, etc...
A non-medical electric device connected to the RS232 interface must be in conformity with the suitable IEC/EN standard (e.g. IEC / EN 60950). In all cases, the IEC/EN 60601-1-1 international standard must be taken into account. Both installation and use of Base Intensive via an RS 232 link must
comply with the accompanying document: RS 232 protocol for Base Intensive. This document is available from our After-Sales Department.
Fresenius Vial will not be responsible whatsoever for use of any interface communication between the Base Intensive and computer system.
Opening the pump must only be carried out by the qualified personnel in your establishment, and taking all the necessary technical precautions. W e recommend you follow the maintenance procedures defined in the Technical Manual. To obtain a copy of this document, please contact our After-Sales Department, specifying the identification number of the device. Non-respect of these procedures is dangerous to the personnel and may damage the pump.
