These Instructions for Use (IFU) are applicable to the Agilia SP MC WiFi. This
device is referred to throughout this manual as the "Agilia SP MC" or "Agilia
pump".
The user must adhere to the instructions specified in this IFU. Failure to adhere to
these instructions may result in damage to the equipment, injury to patients or
injury to users.
Warning
Check that this IFU is applicable to the current software version of the
device.
The software version of the device is displayed on the start-up
screen.
The software version described in this IFU is displayed in the
Release Notes, page 127.
1.2Intended Use
The Agilia SP Infusion System is intended for use on adults, pediatrics, and
neonates for the intermittent or continuous delivery of parenteral fluids,
medications, blood and blood derivatives through clinically accepted routes of
administration such as intravenous, intra-arterial and subcutaneous routes.
It is intended for use by trained healthcare professionals in healthcare facilities.
1.3Principles of Operation
Agilia SP MC is a programmable electronic medical system dedicated to
administering a pre-determined volume of a syringe at a programmed rate. This
syringe pump ensures fluid delivery, by pushing the syringe plunger and
advancing the liquid to the patient through an extension set equipped with a
female Luer lock (applied part).
Agilia SP MC can be used standalone or mounted on the Agilia Link rack.
Agilia SP MC is a transportable and reusable device that can be used everyday.
The size of a syringe can be minimum of 5 mL and maximum of 60 mL. For
comprehensive list, see Section 24.4, page 120.
Agilia SP MC is intended for use on only one patient at a time. It can be reused
indefinitely on multiple patients throughout its lifetime.

1.4Intended Products to be Infused
The pump administers products through clinically accepted routes. These
products include but are not limited to the following:
Intended Products
Standard solutions
Parenteral Fluids
Medication
Transfusion
When using Agilia SP MC to infuse critical medications in healthcare facilities,
ensure that adequate monitoring is provided, and that backup pumps and syringes
are available for immediate use.
Only use Agilia SP MC for the infusion of fluids that are intended for infusion
pumps.
Blood
Red blood cells
Platelets
Plasma
Albumin
1.5Intended Users
The pump must only be used by qualified and trained healthcare professionals
including but not limited to: nurses (primary users), physicians, nurse practitioners
and physician assistants.
Typical initial training duration: 1 hour.
It is recommended that users attend a refresher training session of about
20 minutes every year.
For training, contact your Fresenius Kabi sales representative.
10
1.6Intended Patients
Agilia SP MC is intended to be used according to healthcare facilities protocols on
patients with the following characteristics:
Patient Characteristics
Sex
Age
Adults (including elderly)
Weight
Male
Female
Neonates
Pediatrics
0.25 kg to 350 kg
Body Surface Area
Note: 1 kg = 2.2 lb
0.05 m² to 4.5 m²
When using the pump with specific patients easily affected by light and noise like
neonates, make sure to:
Switch to night mode
Set the alarm volume to the minimum level
Warning
Specific attention for infusing high risk and life sustaining medication
therapies : use the smallest compatible syringe size necessary to deliver
the fluid or medication; this is especially important when infusing high
risk or life-sustaining medications at low infusion rates (e.g., less than
5 mL per hour, and especially flow rates less than 0.5 mL per hour).
Using a larger syringe when infusing at low rates can lead to inadequate
syringe pump performance including delivery inaccuracies, delay of
therapy, and delayed generation of occlusion alarms. This is due to the
increased friction and compliance of the syringe plunger head with larger
syringes.
11
1.7Contraindications
Do not modify the pump (except in the case of operations recommended
by Fresenius Kabi).
Do not use the pump with the following fluids:
- Flammable liquids

with Agilia Partner software to perform technical operations.
1.8Use Environment
Agilia SP MC is intended for use in healthcare facilities, under the supervision of
trained healthcare personnel.

3Fundamentals
3.1Profiles
A profile defines the device configuration and drug library used for a group of
patients in a given healthcare environment.
By default, factory settings include only 1 profile (Basic Profile).
Custom profiles can be created and loaded to the pump using a compatible DERS.
Custom profiles feature a specific pump configuration and a drug library.
A pump can manage up to 20 profiles:
1 Basic Profile
Up to 19 custom profiles
Information
For pumps used on only one group of patients, we recommend disabling
the ability to select the profile, thus locking the pumps to the selected
profile.
3.1.1Basic Profile
Basic Profile allows programming of an infusion for which settings have not been
pre-defined with a compatible DERS.
To program an infusion with Basic Profile, choose "Basic Profile" when selecting
a profile.
Basic Profile has the following characteristics:
The only infusion rate allowed is flow rate (mL/h).
The DERS's safeguards are unavailable:
- The infusion is programmed without drug names.
- Limits on drug infusion rates are not included.
Configurations and settings accessible in Basic Profile may not be suitable for all
patient groups and protocols.
3.1.2Custom Profiles
Custom profiles can be created and uploaded to the pump using a compatible
DERS.
A custom profile contains the following:
a specific device configuration (pump settings that control the
mechanical functions of the pump such as alarm volume, and so on)
a drug library (optional), see section 3.2, page 21.
Depending on the way it is pre-configured with the medication safety software, a
custom profile may or may not include all of the functionalities described in this
IFU.
20
Information
We recommend using a custom profile when infusing critical
drugs.
We recommend that you create and upload profiles in order to
limit usage errors, and to better adapt the use of the pump to the
local practices of the different care units. For example, make sure
to limit flow rates for sensitive populations.
We recommend creating a specific profile per patient population
and/or care unit, therapy, protocol, and so on.
3.2Drug Libraries
A drug library is a comprehensive list of drugs that includes limits on drug infusion
rates.
Information
Each drug library can support up to 150 drug entries that are
defined and validated by healthcare professionals according to
the drug protocols used at the healthcare facility and/or ward
level.
Drug settings may be adjusted on the pump according to pre-
defined programming limits, such as dose limits.
Infusion modes defined in a custom drug entry are not adjustable
on the pump.
3.3Drugs
3.3.1Infusion Rates
A drug in a drug library must specify the infusion rate:
Flow rate: Infusion of a volume over a period of time
Dose rate: Infusion of a specific amount of a drug corresponding to a dose
rate
3.3.2Drug X (mL/h)
Drug X (mL/h) is an open entry that can be selected if the intended drug is not
found in the drug library. It has the following characteristics:
Fewer limits than the other drugs in the library.
A full complement of the medication safety software's safeguards is
unavailable.
It is strongly recommended to use Drug X (mL/h) in a limited number of clinical
cases and under close patient monitoring by the clinical staff.
In each custom profile, the healthcare facility can enable or disable Drug X (mL/h)
using the medication safety software.
