Warnings and Cautions

The SYMBIQ™ Infusion System is designed and manufactured to be safe, reliable, and easy to use. This section describes possible hazards and explains how to prevent these hazards.

Warnings

• When infusing at low delivery rates (5.0 mL/hr or less), use thick-walled microbore sets to reduce the fluid bolus amount that may be delivered when a distal line occlusion is released.
• To obtain optimal low flow continuity at rates (between 0.1 and 1.0 mL/hr) manually prime the set.
• DO NOT use medications incompatible with silicone rubber or PVC plastic or medications not stable under infusion conditions.
• ALWAYS prime the administration set to remove air from the cassette, tubing, and injection sites prior to connecting to the patient. ALWAYS disconnect the administration set from the patient prior to priming or purging.
• Arrange tubing, cords, and cables to minimize the risk of patient strangulation or entanglement.
• Consult medication labeling to confirm medication compatibility, concentration, delivery rates, and volumes are all suitable for desired delivery mode.
• When using the infuser for secondary deliveries (piggybacking), ensure the fluids being infused are both chemically and physically compatible.
6 SYMBIQ™ Infusion System Operating Manual
Page 11
Warnings and Cautions Chapter 1: Introduction
• When an administration set is loaded in the infuser, a small amount of fluid is expelled each time the cassette carriage is opened or closed. If potent medications are being used, disconnect the administration set from the patient to prevent over medicating the patient.
• Delayed respiratory depression following continuous epidural administration of preservative-free morphine sulfate has been reported.
• Administer only anesthetics and analgesics approved for epidural administration (as indicated by the medication’s FDA approved labeling). Epidural administration of medications other than those indicated for epidural use could result in serious patient injury.
• Rate accuracy can be affected by variations of fluid viscosity, fluid temperature, head height, back pressure or any combination of these. Additional factors that may influence rate accuracy are administration set configuration and the duration of time the administration set is utilized.
• When delivering a secondary infusion, use a SYMBIQ™ primary administration set with a backcheck valve.
• For piggyback deliveries from a secondary container, ensure the secondary container is hung higher than the primary container.
• Use of additional non-SYMBIQ™ equipment or accessories on the same I.V. line to the patient may cause potential safety hazards.
• After pressing
Emergency Stop, verify that the Emergency Stop Banner is displayed and delivery
has stopped.

General Cautions

• Federal (USA) law restricts the sale of this device. It is sold by order of a physician or other licensed health practitioner.
• DO NOT place the SYMBIQ™ Infusion System in service if it fails any of the diagnostic self-tests.
• Before use, inspect the AC cord for defects.
• Before use, ensure the infuser has a functional battery installed. Use of a properly installed and functional battery ensures that the infuser operates properly.
• Only qualified biomedical technicians should access the infuser’s Biomed mode.
• To prevent product damage, use proper care during unpacking and installation. DO NOT use a SYMBIQ™ Infusion System if it appears damaged in any way.
• DO NOT attach more than two connected infusers to an I.V. pole (see “Attaching and
Removing an Infuser from an I.V. Pole” on page 53).
• When a primary infuser is connected to an AC power main, never connect more than one additional infuser in series to the rear infuser AC power outlet. Connecting more than one additional infuser in series may cause an electrical safety hazard (see “Rear Infuser AC
Power Outlet” on page 22 for more information).
®
• Use ONLY Hospira MedNet
Server Suite with the SYMBIQ™ Infusion System.
• To prevent personal injury or product damage, make sure the pole clamp is tightened properly and the infuser is securely attached.
SYMBIQ™ Infusion System Operating Manual 7
Page 12
Chapter 1: Introduction Warnings and Cautions
• Disconnect AC power line prior to opening unit or changing battery.
• Manually ejecting a cassette renders that channel incapable of infusing until it is reset by Biomed.
• NEVER use sharp objects such as fingernails, pens, pencils, paper clips, or needles as means to program the infuser. The
LCD screen may scratch.

Epidural Administration

Recommended use of the epidural route is to provide anesthesia or analgesia for periods up to 96 hrs.
• This device can be used to administer only those anesthetics/analgesics approved for epidural administration (as indicated or allowed by the medications’ FDA approved labeling). Epidural administration of medications other than those indicated for epidural use could result in serious injury to the patient.
• For epidural administration, the use of Hospira catheters, SYMBIQ™ sets without Y-sites, and “epidural” stickers indicating ongoing epidural administration are recommended.
Administration of medications via the epidural route should be limited to personnel familiar with associated techniques and patient management problems. Proper epidural placement of the catheter is essential since catheter migration could result in intravascular or intrathecal administration. Facilities practicing epidural administration must be equipped with resuscitative equipment, oxygen, naloxone, and other resuscitative medications. Adequate monitoring equipment (e.g., Oximetry and/or Capnography) is recommended for continuous monitoring of the patient during epidural administration. Patients must be observed frequently for side effects in a fully-equipped and staffed environment for at least 24 hours following completion of medication administration by the epidural route. DELAYED RESPIRATORY DEPRESSION FOLLOWING CONTINUOUS EPIDURAL ADMINISTRATION OF PRESERVATIVE-FREE MORPHINE SULFATE HAS BEEN REPORTED. If over-delivery occurs during administration, observe the patient closely for signs of spinal cord compression (disorientation, headache, transient neuralgias) and medication overdose.

Administration Sets and Delivery Cautions

• USE ONLY Hospira SYMBIQ™ administration sets with the SYMBIQ™ Infusion System. Use of unauthorized sets may result in injury to the patient or damage to the infuser.
®
GemStar
• To prevent contamination, use aseptic techniques with all fluid-path connections. Remove protective coverings as administration set assembly progresses.
• When priming is complete and the cassette flow stop is closed, ensure no fluid flows at the distal end of the administration set. If fluid flow is observed, DO NOT use the administration set.
• Before using a CLAVE DO NOT use needles to access the CLAVE
• Before removing the cassette from the infuser, close ALL slide clamps for added free flow protection.

Page 13
Warnings and Cautions Chapter 1: Introduction
• In vitro studies suggest that packed red blood cells with unusually high hematocrit be diluted with blood-compatible fluids like 0.9% sodium chloride injection to decrease hemolysis and increase flow rate.
• Before disconnecting a syringe from the CLAVE
®
, pull the plunger up slightly to avoid spilling fluid. For rigid containers, close the upper slide clamp, open the cassette carriage, remove and invert the cassette (ports down).
• Air bubbles may form in the administration set as result of normal outgassing of dissolved air in the fluid. This may occur if using a chilled solution if the infuser is mounted significantly above the patient when an administration set is used for more than 24 hours, or when using certain fluids known to routinely outgas. In these cases, an air eliminating filter may be used.
• Repeatedly opening and closing the cassette carriage may defeat the proximal air-in-line alarm and may cause a distal alarm requiring repriming.
• SYMBIQ™ administration sets with integral non-blood filters are not for administration of blood, blood products, emulsions, suspensions, or any medications not totally soluble in the solution being administered. These medications may be administered through the lower Y­injection site below the filter or via SYMBIQ™ administration sets with blood filters.
• Administration sets should be changed per CDC guidelines or hospital policy. Ensure administration sets are properly discarded per CDC guidelines or hospital policy
.
• DO NOT push the cassette carriage closed. Use the LOAD/EJECT button to open and close the cassette carriage.
• If a cassette is manually ejected from a channel, that channel must not be used until it is reset in Biomed mode.
• To protect the patient from equipment error resulting in over-infusion and - where applicable
- in under-infusion refer to the Technical Service Manual and to “Chapter 10: Alarm and
System Messages” on page 145 and “Appendix B: Alarm Messages and Troubleshooting” on page 199.
• The syringe container size must be between 1 mL and 60 mL. DO NOT use syringe containers larger than 60 mL with the syringe holder adapter.
• Use a vented syringe adapter to assure accurate delivery and reduce the risk of an occurrence of proximal occlusion.
• DO NOT operate or store a SYMBIQ™ Infusion System with the cassette carriage opened. To avoid damaging the cassette carriage, keep it securely closed while the infuser is not in use.
• Accuracy of medication amounts recorded in the logs are dependent on the fill accuracy of IV container and amount discarded during priming.
• Programming a Piggyback VTBI less than the actual container volume results in the remaining volume being delivered at the primary rate after the completion of the Piggyback Program.
• Incorrect selection of proximal occlusion setting may result in a delayed proximal occlusion alarm and under delivery.

Chapter 1: Introduction Warnings and Cautions

Battery Operation Cautions

• The battery may not be fully charged upon receipt. Connect the infuser to AC power for at least four hours prior to initial use. Failure to fully charge the battery may significantly reduce battery life.
• Before connecting a patient to the infuser, ensure the infuser has a fully charged battery installed for continuous infuser operation.
• If the low-battery alarm activates, connect the infuser to AC power immediately.
• Use AC power as the primary power source whenever possible. Before use, inspect the AC cord to check for defects. Connect to AC power during storage to ensure a fully charged battery for emergencies. If the quality of the earth grounding source is in doubt, DO NOT use the infuser on AC power, use only battery power.

Unintended Bolus Delivery

• To avoid delivering a bolus when a distal occlusion is cleared, disconnect the tubing from the patient while eliminating a distal occlusion.

Cleaning Cautions

• To avoid mechanical or electronic damage, DO NOT immerse the SYMBIQ™ Infusion System in fluids or cleaning solutions. DO NOT spray cleaning solutions in or near infuser openings. DO NOT allow cleaning solutions to saturate the air-in-line detectors or enter the infuser when cleaning the air-in-line detectors.
• USE ONLY the recommended cleaning solutions and follow the manufacturer’s recommendations. Using cleaning solutions not recommended by Hospira may result in product damage. The disinfecting properties of cleaning solutions vary; consult the manufacturer for specific information. See “Chapter 12: Cleaning, Maintenance, and
Storage” on page 171.
• DO NOT use compounds containing combinations of isopropyl alcohol and dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride.
• NEVER use sharp objects such as fingernails, paper clips, or needles to clean any part of the infuser.
• DO NOT sterilize by heat, steam, ethylene oxide (ETO), or radiation.
• DO NOT use abrasive scrub pads or brushes on the scratched or damaged. Use only soft cloths or sponges.

Chapter 1: Introduction US FCC (Federal Communications Commission) Statement

Radio Frequency Exposure Statement

• The Wireless LAN radio device in the Connectivity Engine peripheral board with this infusion device has been evaluated and found compliant to the requirements of the following Radio Frequency exposure standards:
- Federal Communications Commission, OET Bulletin 65 (Edition 97-01), Supplement C (Edition 01-01), Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio frequency Electromagnetic Fields, July 2001.
- Industry Canada, Evaluation Procedure for Mobile and Portable Radio Transmitters with respect to Health Canada's Safety Code 6 for Exposure of Humans to Radio Frequency Fields, Radio Standards Specification RSS-102 Issue 1 (Provisional): September 1999.
• The radiated output power of this Wireless LAN device is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. The Wireless LAN device has been evaluated with zero inches of human body separation from the antenna and found to be compliant with FCC RF exposure limits.

Electrical Artifacts in Clinical Settings

The SYMBIQ™ Infuser has been tested and found to comply with EMC/EMI limits in accordance with:
• The use of portable and mobile RF equipment may have an impact on this and other pieces of medical equipment
• Nonhazardous, low-level electrical potentials commonly occur when fluids are administered using infusion devices. These potentials are well within accepted safety standards but may create artifacts on voltage-sensing equipment such as ECG, EMG, and EEG machines. If the monitoring equipment is not operating correctly or has loose or defective connections to its sensing electrodes, these artifacts may be accentuated to the point of simulating actual physiological signals. To determine if the abnormality in the monitoring equipment is caused by the infusion device instead of some other source in the environment, temporarily suspend fluid delivery (a therapy should only be suspended if doing so does not pose a clinical risk to the patient). Disappearance of the abnormality indicates it was probably caused by the electronic noise generated by the infusion device. Proper setup and maintenance of the monitoring equipment should eliminate the artifact. Refer to the appropriate monitoring equipment system documentation for setup and maintenance instructions.
• The SYMBIQ™ Infusion System is designed to operate around normally encountered electromagnetic interference (EMI) conditions. If extreme levels of interference like that produced by an electrosurgical generator are encountered, normal operation of a sensor or microcomputer might be disrupted.
• This equipment has been tested and found to comply with EMC/EMI limits in accordance with IEC/EN 60601-1-2 (2001). These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a typical medical installation. The equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to other devices in the vicinity. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment

Use channel level buttons to access BOLUS, BASIC, ADVANCED, and PIGGYBACK PROGRAMMING SCREENS when available.
Channel Feature Availability
Selecting a channel level feature affects the availability of other channel level features. For example, entering a single value on the BASIC PROGRAM SCREEN deactivates the Advanced button until the Basic program is cleared. Similarly, entering a single value on an ADVANCED PROGRAM SCREEN deactivates the
Basic button until the Advanced program is cleared.
The Piggyback button is only available for a channel with a confirmed Basic program that has a volume to be infused (VTBI) greater than zero.

Chapter 3: Infuser Operations

Chapter 3 describes the basic operations of the SYMBIQ™ Infusion System. This includes a discussion of power on, power down, programming a therapy, and delivering a therapy.

Infuser Operations Overview

The infuser has four basic operations divided into four segments: power on, program, deliver and stop.
Power—to power on and power off the infuser
Programming—to program the following therapies:
- Bolus
-Basic
- Advanced (Multistep Interchannel Sequencing and Intermittent)
- Piggyback
Delivery—to observe and monitor the progress of an infusion
Stop—to stop infusion

Power Modes

The Power mode is used to power on and power off the infuser.

AC Power

When attached to an AC power source, the SYMBIQ™ Infusion System uses AC power regardless of the level of available battery power. Use AC power whenever possible, the battery is intended as a backup or emergency power source. However, if the quality of the earth grounding source is in doubt use battery power.
Before initial use, connect the infuser to AC power for at least four hours to ensure the battery is fully charged. Whenever connected to an AC power source, the infuser charges the battery.
If one channel of a two-channel infuser fails a self-test, the other channel remains available.
SYMBIQ™ Infusion System Operating Manual 37
Page 42
Chapter 3: Infuser Operations Power Modes
To power on the infuser:
1. Ensure the infuser is securely attached to an I.V. pole and connected to an AC power source.
2. Press and hold the

Battery Power

For either a one-or two-channel infuser, the battery provides approximately four hours of power at 125 mL/hr while on battery power and with the LCD backlight at Power Saving mode.
The non-volatile battery life is sufficient to retain program parameters, delivery totals, patient information (ID, weight, and height), clinician information, and logs.
CAUTION: Before use, ensure the infuser has a functional battery installed. Use
of a properly installed and functional battery helps ensure the infuser operates properly.
The battery indicator icon is located in the lower right corner of the touchscreen. Table 9 shows battery indictor icons and the associated battery life, power level, and alarm state for each indicator icon. When the infuser is attached to an AC power source, the battery indicator icon shows the current battery charge level.

None
At the first Low Battery alarm, the battery has only enough charge remaining to continue the current delivery rate for approximately 30 minutes. A Low Battery alarm also occurs when only 15 minutes of battery life remains at the current infusion rate. A Depleted Battery alarm will occur when the remaining battery life is approximately 5 minutes or less. The Depleted Battery alarm will continue until there is no power remaining. The infuser will then stop and shut down. At this point a backup buzzer will sound for about two minutes. Immediately connect the infuser to AC power when a Low or Depleted alarm sounds to assure the infusion continues.
Note: As long as a low battery condition exists, the Low Battery alarm cannot be cleared, but it
may be minimized by pressing the alarm tab.
DO NOT use a SYMBIQ™ Infusion System without a properly functioning battery installed. If no battery is detected at power on, the Service Battery alarm activates (Figure 26). In this case, remove the infuser from service until a properly functioning battery can be installed.

Touchscreen Visibility

If no keystrokes or button presses are made for a CCA-defined period of time (the default is two minutes), the infuser enters Power Saving mode. Power Saving mode is marked by an 80% reduction in touchscreen brightness.
Turning touchscreen away from direct sunlight improves visibility. Any infuser alarm state or pressing the touchscreen restores brightness to normal levels.

Power Off

When power is removed from the infuser, it enters Power Down mode. If open, close the cassette carriage. During a normal power down, all critical data is saved to the appropriate logs, the current program and all user-configured settings are retained. All alarm sensitivity settings are also retained at power down.
To power down the infuser:
1. Ensure all infusions are stopped and the infuser is not in Delivery mode.
2. Press and hold the

General Programming Guidelines Chapter 3: Infuser Operations

Invalid Value Handling

If entering a value in a field that exceeds a value limit defined for that field, the following occurs:
• activates the Invalid Entry system message
• sounds the Invalid Key tone
• replaces the value with three dashes (“---”)
There are two types of value limits for a field: maximum field length and maximum field amount.
For fields with defined maximum lengths, entering a four-character value in a field with a three­character limit exceeds the length limit for that field and activates the Invalid Entry system message.
Entering an amount that exceeds the defined limit activates the Invalid Entry system message (Figure 35).

A field must contain a valid value before exiting. To remove the Invalid Entry system message, press
Clear. Pressing Clear also replaces the three dashes (“---”) in a field with field default values;
either “0” for non-time fields or “--:--” for time fields.

Value Rounding

For calculated values, the infuser truncates the value one digit beyond what the screen can display, and then rounds off the value. If the therapy is based on either a calculated value or a rounded value, the infuser delivers the therapy at the stored value. For example, if the stored value is in hundredths but displays in tenths, the infusion rate has a granularity of hundredths. Stored information does not change. If a stored value contains more decimal places than can be displayed, the infuser rounds the displayed value. The infuser uses the rounding rules based on one digit beyond what can be displayed.
Note: Calculated interim values retain all decimal places supported by the infuser’s hardware.

Chapter 4: Infuser Preparation

Overview

This chapter describes preparing the SYMBIQ™ Infusion System for use including attaching it to
an I.V. pole; attaching two infusers, preparing administration sets; loading, priming, and removing cassettes; and ejecting a cassette in an emergency.
CAUTION: To prevent product damage, use proper care during unpacking and
installation. DO NOT use a SYMBIQ™ Infusion System if it appears damaged in any way.

Attaching and Removing an Infuser from an I.V. Pole

The SYMBIQ™ Infusion System’s pole clamp mechanism utilizes a quick-travel mechanism for attaching to an I.V. pole. Attach the infuser to a pole by pushing the pole clamp against an I.V. pole, and then turning the pole clamp knob clockwise to secure the infuser in place. To assure a secure attachment, it is helpful to keep the infuser back parallel to the I.V. pole during attachment. Detach an infuser from a pole by turning the pole clamp knob counter-clockwise approximately one-half turn, and then pressing the quick travel release button to retract the pole clamp. See Appendix C for I.V. pole list number.
The following table provides mounting height data:

Ejecting a Cassette in an Emergency

In an emergency (for example, a complete power failure) the cassette can be manually ejected from the cassette carriage. This should be done only in an emergency. If a cassette is manually ejected, remove the infuser from service immediately. The Check Cassette alarm activates whenever a cassette is manually ejected. With the Check Cassette alarm active, the user cannot program, start, or resume a therapy.
CAUTION: Manually ejecting a cassette renders that channel incapable of
infusing until it is reset by Biomed.

Chapter 6: Piggyback

Overview

The piggyback function on the SYMBIQ™ Infuser allows it to deliver fluid from a secondary container at a rate and volume independent of the Basic infusion. When the Piggyback VTBI (volume to be infused) is complete, the Basic infusion automatically resumes at the primary Basic rate. The infusion Complete Callback option can be selected to notify when the piggyback infusion completes.
Piggyback deliveries are only allowed with a Basic program. A Piggyback infusion cannot be programmed with an Advance therapy, or Bolus infusion.
Program a Basic infusion prior to programming a Piggyback infusion.
WARNING: When delivering a Piggyback infusion, use only a SYMBIQ™
primary administration set with a backcheck valve.
When using the piggyback feature verify:
• The medication in the secondary container is compatible with the medication in the primary container.
• The secondary administration set is connected to the upper Y-site using aseptic technique on the primary administration set.
• The interruption of the primary infusion is clinically appropriate for the duration of the piggyback infusion.
To program a piggyback delivery, the user must first program and confirm a Basic therapy for the channel the user intends to use for the piggyback delivery.
Setting the Basic rate greater than the secondary rate results in a more rapid delivery of any residual secondary medication remaining in the line and the cassette.
WARNING: When using the infuser for secondary deliveries (piggybacking),
ensure the fluids being infused are both chemically and physically compatible.
WARNING: For piggyback deliveries from a secondary container, ensure the
secondary container is hung higher than the primary container.
Piggyback with the SYMBIQ™ Infuser requires a SYMBIQ™ Pump Set with a proximal Y-site backcheck valve and a secondary piggyback set with an extension hook. See “Appendix C:
Accessories, Administration Sets, and Components” on page 211 for list numbers. The
secondary container must be placed higher than the primary container. Refer to the instructions included with the piggyback pump set for more information.
SYMBIQ™ Infusion System Operating Manual 93
Page 98
Chapter 6: Piggyback Overview
Preparing for Secondary Delivery (Piggyback)
1. Ensure a primary piggyback pump set with a proximal Y-site backcheck valve is in use. Lower the primary container using the hanger provided with the piggyback set. Ensure the hanger is fully extended, as shown in Figure 79 below.
Figure 79: Primary Piggyback Pump
2. Suspend the secondary container higher than the primary. Prime the secondary set according to the instructions included with the set.
Note: When using a secondary container, ensure the bottom of the secondary container is at
least 9 inches above the fluid level in the primary container. Use additional extension hooks if necessary.
3. Attach the piggyback administration set to upper Y-site using aseptic technique.
Figure 80: Attaching Piggyback to Y-Site
Note: If using a rotating luer device, first push and twist luer slip into CLAVE until tight, then
lock down the rotating collar. This ensures a secure connection and optimal flow rates.
94 SYMBIQ™ Infusion System Operating Manual
Page 99
Overview Chapter 6: Piggyback
4. Suspend the secondary container from the I.V. pole.
CAUTION: Before using a CLAVE® connector, ensure the administration set and
fluid compatibility. Do not use needles to access the CLAVE
®
connector.
To program a piggyback delivery:
Only medications designated by the facility may be delivered by Piggyback. If a facility determines a medication should not be interrupted, the
Piggyback button may be disabled in the drug
library.
Note: The Piggyback button is unavailable until a primary infusion is programmed on the selected
channel.
