Chapter 1: Introduction
The SYMBIQ™ Infusion System is a general purpose infuser designed to deliver fluids,
solutions, medications, agents, nutritionals, electrolytes, blood and blood products for parenteral,
enteral, intravenous, intra-arterial, subcutaneous, epidural, or irrigation routes of administration.
The SYMBIQ™ Infusion System is available as a one-channel or a two-channel infuser. These
infusers may be connected to configure a three or four channel pump. The connecting mechanism
is designed to allow a maximum of 1 additional pump to be connected. The Symbiq Infusion
System can be configured as a one-, two-, three-, or four-channel pump.
A cassette-based, multi-function device, the SYMBIQ™ Infusion System is powered by either
AC power or can be powered by the enclosed rechargeable battery. The SYMBIQ™ Infusion
System delivers Basic therapy or Advanced therapies such as Multistep, Intermittent, and
Interchannel Sequencing.
The SYMBIQ™ Infusion System is intended for use primarily in a hospital setting. Other care
areas where the infuser can be used include: home care, nursing homes, mobile intensive care,
ambulatory infusion centers, hospice, subacute facilities, outpatient/surgical centers, long term
care, urgent care, transport, and physician offices.
Intended Audience
The SYMBIQ™ Infusion System is intended for use at the direction of or under the supervision of
licensed physicians or certified healthcare professionals who are trained in the use of infusers and

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.
6SYMBIQ™ Infusion System Operating Manual
Page 11
Warnings and CautionsChapter 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 Manual7
Page 12
Chapter 1: IntroductionWarnings 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 CautionsChapter 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.
SYMBIQ™ Infusion System Operating Manual9
Page 14
Chapter 1: IntroductionWarnings 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.

FCC Interference Statement
• This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, it may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try and correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver.
-Connect the equipment to an outlet on a different circuit from the circuit the
receiver is connected.
-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
• Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Hospira could void the user's authority
to operate the equipment.
Wireless Device Caution
• The wireless 802.11 a/b/g device usage in the 5150-5250 MHz band is limited to indoor use
to reduce potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems.
• In the 5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz frequency bands, high power radars are
allocated as primary users and these radars could cause interference and/or damage to LELAN devices.
• Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) the wireless device may not cause
interference, and (2) the wireless device must accept any interference, including interference
that may cause undesired operation of the wireless device.
• 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

Touchscreen Buttons
The SYMBIQ™ Infusion System touchscreen allows the user to access and use on-screen buttons
and keypads. A membrane covers the LCD display so a single keypress does not cause significant
infuser pole movement nor is it mistaken for a double keypress. When an active touchscreen
button is pressed, the infuser sounds an audible valid key tone. The touchscreen also
accommodates a keypress whether users are wearing wet gloves, dry gloves, or no gloves.
Note: A triple-beep will sound when making entries that are touchscreen errors.
Note: NEVER use sharp objects such as fingernails, pens, pencils, paper clips, or needles to
program the infuser because they may scratch the LCD screen.

Rear Infuser AC Power Outlet
The rear infuser AC power outlet on the back of the SYMBIQ™ Infusion System is designed to
accommodate one additional SYMBIQ™ Infuser. Never connect more than one additional infuser
to the primary infuser when connected to an AC power outlet. Connecting additional infusers may
cause an electrical safety hazard. Before use, inspect the AC cord for defects.
For example, consider operating a primary infuser using AC (mains) power with a second infuser
attached to it using the rear infuser AC power outlet. DO NOT attach an additional infuser to the
rear infuser AC power outlet of the second infuser (Figure 3).
CAUTION: Never connect more than two infusers when using the rear infuser
AC power outlet; connecting more than two infusers may cause an
electrical safety hazard.
Figure 3: Incorrect Use of Rear Infuser AC Power Outlet
Instead, attach an additional infuser directly to an AC (mains) power source (Figure 4).
Figure 4: Correct Use of Rear Infuser AC Power Outlet
The Wireless Connection Available icon is displayed when the device is receiving a wireless
signal. The infuser will connect to the network if a wireless network access point is recognized.
The SYMBIQ™ Infusion System supports wireless communication via an internal wireless
communications module and antennae. Use the SYMBIQ™ Infusion System’s wired or wireless
connectivity options to communicate with server-based networks or hospital local area networks.
Wireless communication to an infuser is direct rather than indirect through another infuser.

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 PROGRAMSCREEN deactivates the Advanced button until
the Basic program is cleared. Similarly, entering a single value on an ADVANCEDPROGRAMSCREEN
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 Manual37
Page 42
Chapter 3: Infuser OperationsPower 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
On/Off button for one second, then release.

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.

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.

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.

NOTES:
92SYMBIQ™ Infusion System Operating Manual
Page 97
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 Manual93
Page 98
Chapter 6: PiggybackOverview
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.
94SYMBIQ™ Infusion System Operating Manual
Page 99
OverviewChapter 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.
