Warnings tell you about dangerous conditions, that could lead to death or serious injury to
the user or patient, that can occur if you do not obey all of the instructions in this manual.
1.WARNING: You should ensure that the performance offered by the pump is fit for the intended purpose.
Failure to do so may result in compromised function of the product, patient injury or user injury .
2.WARNING: Do not use a faulty pump. If the pump detects a fault when it is first turned on, or if it develops a
fault during operation then a continuous system alarm sounds. The pump must be referred to a suitably
qualified technician or returned to Graseby Medical in order to have the fault rectified.
3.WARNING: Before using the pump, it should be inspected for physical damage. The pump should not be
used if damage is evident, and should be returned to service personnel for repair before being returned to
use. Failure to do so may result in compromised function of the product, patient injury or user injury .
4.WARNING: Do not use the pump if you detect any cracks, chips and loose or bent parts, or if the buttons do
not move in and out freely when they are pressed. Failure to do so could cause inadvertent disconnection
of the pumps.
5.WARNING: Do not push or pull on the pumps, or the IV pole may tip over or the pumps fall to the floor . Do
not try to remove modular connected pumps from the IV pole whilst they are joined together. Either of
these could cause the administration set to separate from the fluid container thus spilling the medication,
or the pumps themselves could be damaged.
6.WARNING: Correct entry of data is essential in order to ensure that the intended infusion is performed.
Before confirming any displayed data when setting up an infusion, you should ensure that it is correct.
Failure to do so may result in compromised function of the product, patient injury or user injury .
7.WARNING: Dose-rate calculation requires care in entering data. Refer to specific product drug labelling for
information on appropriate administration techniques and dosages. Entering incorrect data may result in
patient injury or death.
8.WARNING: When delivering drugs in the epidural space, use only those medications specifically indicated
for epidural use. Epidural administration of other drugs could result in serious patient injury or death.
9.WARNING: The use of administration sets incorporating injection sites could lead to an improper or
inappropriate infusion resulting in serious patient injury or death.
10. WARNING: Failure to clearly identify the pump and administration sets could lead to an improper or
inappropriate infusion resulting in serious patient injury or death.
11. WARNING: Remove any air to prevent air embolism. The presence of air within the infusion can result in
complications resulting in patient injury or death.
12. WARNING: To avoid over infusion, do not prime the infusion line when the administration set is connected
to the patient. Over infusion can result in patient injury or death.
13. WARNING: The Occlusion alarm level must be checked before starting an infusion to ensure that it is
appropriate for the infusion. Failure to do so may result in an unacceptably slow time to Occlusion alarm,
resulting in patient injury or death.
14. WARNING: Prior to starting an infusion, inspect the fluid path for kinks, a closed clamp or other
obstructions. Failure to do so may result in the infusion not being delivered correctly , resulting in patient
injury or death.
15. WARNING: If using a blood pressure cuff above the patient’s venipuncture site take extra care in setting
the Occlusion alarm pressures. Failure to do so may result in unnecessary Occlusion alarms, resulting in
patient injury or death.
16. WARNING: The Occlusion detection system measures downline pressure in the administration set, but
does not detect infiltration. In accordance with local protocol, you must periodically inspect the patient’s
infusion site for signs of infiltration. Failure to do so may result in an unacceptably slow time to Occlusion
resulting in patient injury or death.
17. WARNING: If an Occlusion alarm occurs, immediately clamp the line to the patient. Then inspect the fluid
pathway to determine what has caused the obstruction. An unintentional bolus of medication can result in
patient injury or death.
18. WARNING: Do not run parallel infusion lines below the pump. Delivering a Secondary infusion means
above
running a second line
resulting in patient injury or death.
19. WARNING: Check the Secondary set carefully, since an occlusion above the pump on the Secondary line
could cause the Primary fluid to be delivered instead of the Secondary infusion. Administering the wrong
medication may cause serious patient injury or death.
the pump. Failure to do so may result in an inaccurate delivery of medication,
3000/3100 and 500/505 Service ManualIssue A (April 2002)
Volumetric Infusion Pumps
20. WARNING: The Secondary volume to be infused must match the amount of fluid in the secondary
container. Primary flow resumes when the secondary container is empty. If the volumes do not
correspond, the wrong infusion may be delivered which could cause serious patient injury or death.
21. WARNING: Correct management of battery charging, as described in this documentation is essential to
ensure that the pump can operate on battery for the time specified. Failure to do so may result in
compromised function of the product or patient injury .
22. WARNING: If a backup alarm sounds, the pump should be immediately removed from the patient and sent
to be repaired by a Graseby Medical qualified technician. Failure to do so may cause patient injury or
death.
23. WARNING: Failure to use the power cord retainer means that the pump may be accidentally or erroneously
disconnected from the mains. Although there is a battery backup in case this happens, the battery may not
be charged sufficiently . Consequently , there is a risk of the pump not functioning which could lead to
patient injury or death.
24. WARNING: Do not open the pump housing. Refer all service faults only to qualified technical personnel.
Opening the pump housing may cause electric shock leading to patient or user injury or death.
25. WARNING: When the pump is carrying out an infusion, to ensure that electrical safety is maintained, only
items of equipment that conform to EN60950 are to be connected to the RS232 connector situated at the
back of the pump, otherwise patient safety may be compromised.
26. WARNING: While Graseby Medical Limited have taken all reasonable steps to ensure that the pump
operates correctly while under remote control, it is the responsibility of the person who designs and
implements the controlling device to ensure that the resulting system (pump and controlling device) is fit
for its intended purpose. Failure to do so may result in compromised function of the product, patient injury
or user injury .
27. WARNING: Use only Graseby Medical administration sets with this product. Failure to do so may result in
compromised system accuracy leading to complications resulting in patient injury or death.
28. WARNING: Do not perform these tests while the pump is in use on a patient, as this may cause patient
injury or death.
29. WARNING: Unplug the AC power cord before opening the pump housing to avoid risk of electric shock,
which could result in death or serious injury .
30. WARNING: Potentially dangerous voltages are exposed when the pump housing is open and the AC power
cord is plugged in. These voltages are present in the transformer and AC fuse on the CPU/Power supply
board and the RFI line filter where the power cord connects. T o avoid electric shock with potential for
severe injury or death, do not touch these areas when the power cord is plugged in.

How the pump is powered
The pump can be powered in two ways, either:
AC power connection
Battery operation, for backup, or portable operation.
AC power connection
The pumps are equipped with a detachable power cord, which has a
three-prong, hospital grade plug. The power cord is designed to
minimise leakage current inducing potentials on the ground wire.
The power cord is secured to the rear housing, but can be removed if
safety testing of the cord becomes necessary. A cord retainer is
attached over the cord by four screws. The cord retainer must be
reinstalled whenever the cord is reattached or replaced, or ground
and power connections may become unreliable.
If the cord is damaged, replace it immediately. Replacements should
be made using original equipment in order to maintain grounding
safety and an acceptable level of leakage current. Integrity of the
three-prong plug is also important to prevent electric shock. Do not
use extension cords, adapter plugs, or attempt to defeat the plugs
ground connection. Always hold the plug itself when unplugging the
power cord, as pulling on the cord could damage plug connections.
Graseby Medical Ltd.
Battery and portable operation
The pumps contain a rechargeable 12 volt battery for portable
operation, or if AC power fails or is unavailable. Monitoring and
testing the battery is described on page 3-13.
The infusion pumps may be operated while standing on any flat
surface, provided the bottom of the administration set drip chamber
is at least 15 cm (6 inches) above the top of the pump.
On Model 3000/500, 30 cm (12 inches) may be required for rates over
500 mL/h. On both Model 500 and Micro 505, 30 cm (12 inches) may be
required when using thick solutions and/or 60 drops/mL sets.
Typically, however, the pump is attached to an IV pole using the pole
clamp on the rear housing. IV pole mounting and battery operation
make the pumps portable for patient mobility.
When multiple infusion lines are required, you can connect up to
three pumps to a single pole using the hooks and rails that make up
the modular connection system. As all pumps have connectors on both
sides, you can use any one as the centre, left, or right pump.

How the pump works
This section provides a overview of how the pump works. Further
details are provided in Chapters 5 to 8.
For details of how to use the pump, refer to the Instruction Manual
and the Technical User Manual.
Microprocessors
The pumps contain a central system control microprocessor (CPU1),
with two peripheral microprocessors used for display control (CPU3)
and fail-safe system monitoring (CPU2). The central microprocessor
controls all user programmable functions, alarm condition sensors,
and inter-processor communications.
Pumping mechanism
The central microprocessor also controls a 4-phase stepping motor
which is used to operate the pumping mechanism. Smooth fluid
delivery is accomplished by uninterrupted forward rotation of the
pumping mechanism when the pump is running.
Volumetric Infusion Pumps
3
Door latch open
Pulling the door latch handle open moves the cam housing and
pumping mechanism to the load position. The pistons are best
positioned to accept a fluid filled cassette when in the load position.
When the door is opened to turn the pump on, or if the door is opened
while the pump is powering up, the hold light does not turn on until
the motor has backed off to its load position.
Door latch closed
Pushing the door latch closed moves the pumping mechanism to the
operate position.
Completion of cassette loading results in some additional reverse
rotation of the motor as pressure (which develops during the loading
process) on the cassette is reduced and the pumping mechanism
prepares for delivery. To allow up-line pressure release, the over
pressure valve seals the lower fluid pathway during reverse rotation
of the pumping mechanism and reopens upon initial forward rotation.
Free flow prevention system - safety clip
The Free-Flow Prevention System consists of the Safety Clip (located
under the cassette on the administration set) and the mechanical clip
retention slot and associated mechanics on the lower cassette
housing. The Safety Clip must be placed in the retention slot when
loading the cassette, or the pump will not operate.
When the door is closed the Safety Clip opens to allow fluid
delivery.
When the door is opened, the Safety Clip closes, preventing
unrestricted gravity flow even when the administration set is
removed from the pump.

Volumetric Infusion Pumps
Pressure / occlusion monitoring
Downline pressure is developed by the pumping pistons at the upper
and middle cassette chambers, and is continuously monitored at the
middle cassette chamber.
Occlusion monitoring is performed by the pressure transducer
mounted in the door. The Occlusion alarm is activated if pressure
exceeds the user selected threshold level. The pump briefly backs off
to reduce downline pressure, which minimizes fluid bolus to the
patient. At that point, the pump stops and fluid delivery ceases.
Graseby Medical Ltd.
3
Pumps with revision 0.64 and higher software
In the Medium or High Occlusion Alarm Settings, when downline
pressure exceeds the selected threshold, the motor pauses (Run
remains lit), and the pumping indicator stops. If, within 10 seconds,
the pressure drops back below the threshold, then pumping resumes
and no alarm is sounded (if pressure remains high, the Occlusionbelow pump alarm is activated). If repeated pressure spikes occur,
causing the pump to enter the filtering process for a total of 30
seconds, measured over the last 4 minutes the pump was infusing, the
alarm also sounds. Occlusions detected in the Low Occlusion Alarm
Setting cause an immediate alarm.
Message Display
The Message Display is an alphanumeric liquid crystal display,
consisting of 2 lines by 16 characters. It shows infusion status, visual
alarms, options, and other messages.
When the pump is running, some messages are displayed briefly, then
the display reverts to the standard message. The general rule is:
informational messages are displayed for 5 seconds; messages with
instructions or which require input are displayed for 10 seconds.
Pressing a key which has a different display associated with it causes
its screen to be instantly displayed before the 5 or 10 second timeout
expires on the first message.
3 — 6
Numeric Displays
During operation, the rate and volume to be infused are continuously
shown in the numeric displays. The Message Display shows the
volume infused for the current infusion as fluid is delivered, and the
volume to be infused display counts down as the volume in the
Message Display counts up. Also, appropriate status lights are lit to
show the current status of the pump.
Numeric and Message Display Memory
When the pump is turned off, data in the Message Display and
numeric displays are stored in nonvolatile memory and displayed
again when the pump is turned on. The memory is maintained by a 3
volt lithium battery integrated with the memory chip.
Issue A (April 2002)
3000/3100 and 500/505 Service Manual
Graseby Medical Ltd.
Backlight for Message Display
The Message Display is backlit when any key is pressed, and when
the door is opened. The backlight will remain on for approximately 1
minute. The backlight timeout feature has different characteristics
when the pump is on AC power and battery power.
Backlight on AC
With the pump on hold, and with the door closed, the backlight will
always be on. With the pump on hold, and with the door open, the
backlight will timeout after approximately 1 minute. After timeout, if
the door is closed, the Message Display backlight will turn on.
Backlight on Battery
When on battery power, the backlight will timeout after
approximately 1 minute whether the door is open or closed.
Backlight during an alarm or alert
During an alarm or alert, the backlight flashes on and off with the
audible alarms and remains on after the audio has been silenced.
Volumetric Infusion Pumps

Analog to digital monitoring
In addition to controlling the Message Display, numeric displays, and
LEDs, the display software monitors a number of analog to digital
conversion values. These are:
Pressure
Battery level
Cassette position
Ambient lighting level
LED/segment forward voltage drops. The LED/segment voltage
drops are checked during power-up.
Pressure, battery , light and cassette monitoring
A CPU periodically checks the current analog levels for the pressure
sensor input, the battery level, the pressure plate position input, and
the photo sensor used to measure ambient lighting. These levels are
each measured at least once per second, and their values (0-255) are
accessible to the on-board CPUs. Decisions based on sensor readings
require at least two reads of the sensor.
The pressure sensor input is used to check for occlusions.
The pressure plate position switch indicates whether the
cassette is in place.
The battery level input is used to check for low battery levels, or
when a battery test is initiated. Low battery levels result in
appropriate alarm messages.
The ambient lighting level input is used to adjust the intensity
of LEDs based on the current room lighting.

LED/segment monitoring
The Display board CPU periodically (once per second) checks the
status of each individual LED and digit segment. If an LED or
segment should be off, it is checked to make sure there is no forward
voltage drop. If there is supposed to be a forward voltage drop and it
is absent, or it is outside the acceptable range a fault is reported to
the on-board CPUs and a System Error alarm message appears in the
Message Display.

Power up tests and checks
This section explains the sequence of the pumps internal
initialisation tests and checks carried out on a Cold boot which takes
place if the On/Off key is pressed, or the door is opened whilst the
pump is switched off.
The end of this section describes what happens during a Warm boot,
which takes place if the microprocessor is reset when the pump is
already switched on.
Volumetric Infusion Pumps
Cold boot
3
When the pump is turned on, the cold boot sequence is as follows:
The I/O ports of the microprocessors are initialised, placing all
system components in the start up configuration.
A write/read back test is performed on non-volatile RAM. If this
test fails, the following message is displayed and the software is
locked allowing no further processing:
If the pump is plugged into AC power, the message remains until
the pump is unplugged. If being powered by the battery, the
message is displayed for 5 seconds, then the pump automatically
turns off.
A checksum comparison is performed on non-volatile RAM, and, if
it fails, system warning 13 is recorded for viewing in Biomedical
Special Functions. A memory location is then checked to
determine if the initialization was from a cold-boot or warm boot.
All CPU RAM locations are cleared.
The main CPU computes a checksum of its ROM contents and
compares this against a predetermined value. If a ROM checksum
error occurs, the following message is displayed, and the software
is locked allowing no further processing:
If the pump is plugged into AC power, the message remains until
the pump is unplugged. If being powered by the battery, the
message is displayed for 5 seconds, then the pump automatically
turns off.
Timers, counters, registers, and interrupts are initialised for
operation.
Counters and timers are initialised for pump history information.
A jumper wire is detected, thus determining whether the pump is
micro/macro (Model 500/3000) or micro only (Micro 505/3100).

Volumetric Infusion Pumps
Communication is established between the CPUs. Commands are
exchanged signalling that initialization is completed and ROM
checksums are correct.
The keypad is scanned to determine whether Options was pressed
along with On/Off. If so, the pump enters Biomedical Menu.
The keypad is scanned to determine whether Silence was pressed
along with On/Off. If so, the pump activates Quiet Pump
operation.
A display test is run. The numeric displays illuminate the number
8 in each digit with decimal points active. While the numeric
displays are showing 8s, the pumping motion LEDs display the
number 8, then go blank. The message display briefly shows a
checker-board pattern.
The microprocessor checks to see if the pump is operating on AC
power or battery. If on AC power, the charge light is already lit. If
on battery power, the battery light illuminates, and the battery
voltage is checked to see if it is in operating range (> 11.6 V DC). If
the voltage is out of range (11.6 V DC), the low battery alarm
appears. See Power Monitoring, page 3-13.
Graseby Medical Ltd.
The motor monitor microprocessor runs a motor cut-off test to
verify proper function of the motor driver shut off. If the motor
driver shut off is not working, a system warning is noted. Cold boot
stops, a snapshot is taken, and the following system warning is
displayed:
If the motor driver shut off is working, the cold boot continues and
the motor is backed off to its home position.
Primary parameters are retrieved from memory and displayed.
Secondary parameters are stored and ready for display. Secondary
volume to be infused defaults to zero and must be re-entered.
Successful completion of cold boot
A value is written in non-volatile memory as an indicator that a
cold boot process was completed.
The pump enters hold. Unless it was previously switched off in a
special infusion mode, for example, Rate Taper, or Dose-Rate
Calculation (recovery) mode, the standard message is displayed,
indicating that initialisation tests and checks are complete:

End of cold boot - special infusion modes
If the pump was turned off in a special infusion mode, the standard
message is not displayed. Instead, the pump shows a screen
indicating the infusion mode, for example, with a Rate Taper program
set (but not delivered), the message display is:
If the pump was turned off during or after running a Rate Taper
program, the display will be:
If the pump was switched off after programming a Dose-Rate
Calculation infusion, and the Dose-Rate Calculation Recovery
parameter is enabled in the Technician Menu, then the display will
be:

Warm boot
A warm boot occurs if the microprocessor is reset when the pump is
already powered up. If a reset occurs the pump begins its power up
initialization routine. During the power up routine, the
microprocessor looks for a value in non-volatile memory normally
stored during the pumps power down routine. Since the normal
power down routine is not completed during a reset, the value is not
found and the current routine is considered a warm boot.
The rate display shows 0.1 and the volume to be infused display
shows 0.0 if a RAM checksum failure occurs.
If a warm boot occurs, the insistent audio alarm sounds, and a system
warning is displayed:

Powering down
This section explains what happens when the pump is powered down
(switched off). It describes:
Manual power down, when the On/Off key is pressed
Automatic power down, which occurs when the pump has been left
on and alarming for 72 hours, or if the battery voltage becomes too
low.
Manual power down
The pump can only be turned off by pressing On/Off while the door is
closed. If the pump is running, you must first press Hold, then On/
Off.
The master CPU stops pumping operations and all system
components are disabled. The non-volatile memory is updated with
checksums. At this point, if the pump is on AC power, it will continue
to keep track of AC on time for pump history. The green charge light
is lit, indicating that the battery is charging. If powered by battery, a
non-volatile memory location is initialised, indicating power down
has occurred, after which the pump turns off.
Graseby Medical Ltd.
If the pump is operating on battery power, and if the pump is stuck in
a fault mode where the CPUs are not operating properly, a special
command (OFFCPU2) allows On/Off to operate.
If the pump is connected to AC power, turned off, and the cord is then
unplugged, the pump powers down completely after writing data to
pump history.
Automatic power down
If the pump is left on hold (following an alarm, or if left idle) for
approximately 2 minutes with the door closed, the insistent audio
alarm sounds. If the pump is left on hold with the door open, the
pump alarms after approximately 6 minutes. In either case, if left
alarming for 72 hours, the pump automatically shuts off.
If the battery status in the Message Display indicates:
the pump enters hold (if running), sounds the insistent audio alarm,
and the hold light flashes. If left alarming, the pump will
automatically turn off in 15 minutes, or when the battery reduces to
10 volts.

Power monitoring
On AC Mains
If the pump is plugged in, the charge light is steadily lit. Software
also records and stores in the pump history the period of time that
the pump is plugged in.
Note: If the pump is switched off and connnected to AC power and
the saftey keypad lockout feature is active, the pump cannot be
switched on via the keypad, see Instruction Manual, Security on the
pump.
On battery power
If there is a dropout in the voltage regulator due to AC line or
component failure, the pump automatically switches to battery
power. The battery light is steadily lit (unless the battery is low or
dead, in which case it flashes), the charge light is off, and the period
of time on battery is recorded and stored in the pump history.
Volumetric Infusion Pumps

Battery voltage levels are determined by:
Normal operating voltage:Voltage > 11.6, ± 0.2 V DC.
Low battery:11.0 < Voltage £ 11.6, ± 0.2 V DC.
Dead battery:10.0 < Voltage £ 11.0, ± 0.2 V DC.
Automatic Turn Off:Voltage < 10.0, ± 0.2 V DC.
Once a low battery state occurs (low battery, dead battery, or
automatic turn off) it remains in that state unless:
The pump is plugged in to AC power,
The voltage drops to a level consistent with another state, or
The pump is turned off, then on.
When the pump is turned on, on battery power, with Version 0.71
software loaded, the pump automatically carries out the battery test
described in the next section.
T esting the battery
When the pump is powered on, the battery is always tested. In
addition, the Options key provides access to the Battery Test option
so that the approximate battery voltage can be tested without
powering down the pump.
To run the Battery Test:
1. With the pump powered up, disconnect from the AC mains supply
and press Hold.
2. Press the Options key then 4, or press Options until the following
message is displayed:

3. Press the key to start the test. The pump turns on all LEDs,
and the rate and volume to be infused displays all zeros to form a
known battery load.
The pump then measures the battery voltage. After five seconds the
battery gauge displays the approximate battery capacity.
For example, this display would indicate a battery about half charged:

The display below indicates a fully charged battery:
If the battery capacity is low, you must connect the pump to the AC
mains supply to recharge the battery.
3 — 14
It is possible to get a false reading if the battery is in poor condition.
A new, fully charged battery operates the pump for approximately six
hours at 100 ml/hr (99.9 mL/h on Micro 505).
The test described above is also carried out automatically when a
pump loaded with Version 0.71 software (or later) is switched on, on
battery power.
WARNING:Correct management of battery charging, as described in this
documentation is essential to ensure that the pump can operate
on battery for the time specified. Failure to do so may result in
compromised function of the product or patient injury .

Alarms
This section explains the three different types of alarms made by the
pump.
If more than one alarm condition exists simultaneously, insistent
alarms take precedence over non-insistent alarms.
Volumetric Infusion Pumps
When an alarm condition occurs, the red Hold light illuminates and
flashes at 1 Hz. The Message Display flashes with the alarm and an
error or alarm message is displayed.
When the audio alarm is silenced, the hold light stops flashing and
the Message Display remains lit with the alarm message displayed.
Software Version 0.67 and earlier
When a pump displaying the Battery too low - Plug in cord message
is connected to the AC mains supply, the unit will stop alarming, if
not previously stopped using the Silence or Hold key. The unit is on
Hold, and the Hold LED is on. However, the Message Display does
not show the On Hold message and the associated insistent alarm is
not sounded. To continue the infusion, the operator must press the
Run key.
Insistent alarm
This type of alarm indicates that fluid delivery has stopped, or cannot
be started.
The insistent audio alarm consists of three tones: two high pitched
and one low pitched, repeated at two-second intervals. (High/high/
low chime).
3
To silence an insistent alarm, press the Silence or Hold key. The
alarm will recur unless the problem is corrected.
If an insistent alarm condition is detected, the microprocessor stops
the pump and sounds the insistent audio alarm. One of the following
messages is displayed:
Air in cassette
Battery too low
Close clamp! Load Safety Clip
Door open
Loading problem. Check tubing set
No flow above pump
Occlusion below pump

Volumetric Infusion Pumps
Non-insistent alarm
This type of alarm indicates that there is a condition requiring
attention which has not caused the infusion to stop. For example, if
the pump is running on batteries and the batteries are low, or if the
infusion has switched to a KVO rate.
The non-insistent audio alarm consists of two tones, one high pitched
and one low pitched, repeated at two second intervals. (High/low
chime.)
In KVO, the green run light flashes at 1 Hz with 50% duty cycle. In
low battery, the yellow battery light flashes at 1 Hz with 50% duty
cycle.
To silence this type of alarm, press the Silence or Run key to silence
the alarm without stopping fluid delivery, or press the Hold key to
silence the alarm and stop fluid delivery.
Detection of the following alert conditions cause the microprocessor
to sound the non-insistent audio alarm:
Graseby Medical Ltd.
Dose setup not completed
Dose change not completed

Continuous - backup alarm
In addition to the insistent and non-insistent operational alarms, the
Volumetric pump has a fail-safe backup alarm system. This has a
distinctive high-pitched tone:
Should the audio alarm system fail, then the pump sounds the
backup alarm, with a 1.5 second pause between alarm tones;
Should an electromechanical system failure occur, the pump
sounds the backup alarm continuously.
The pump displays one of these messages when sounding the backup
alarm:

Volumetric Infusion Pumps
Using Technician parameters
Most parameters enable or disable features that appear when the
Options key is pressed. All only affect one feature, but for some you
may need to think about making another setting at the same time. For
example, if you enable Primary rate limits, you might also enable
Primary Max VTBI.
Pump Identifier
If you enable this parameter, when you press the Options key to
move to the next parameter you can edit the identifier text. When the
pump leaves the factory, this identifier is set to the serial number of
the pump. You can change the identifier character by character by
using the up and down keys (1 and 3) to cycle through alphanumeric
values. Press the * key to move to the next character. Press the
Options key when you are finished.
Note: Another separate identifier appears on the Special Functions Menu. This
also contains the pump serial number and will need to be reset to the serial
number if the pumps PCB is changed. See item 5 on page 4-30.

Drug list
Enabling this parameter gives the user the ability to choose a Drug
label from a preset list of drugs. If it is disabled, then the label is not
displayed.
Minimum and maximum primary rate
Enabling this parameter allows the user to define a range to limit the
Primary rate.
Maximum primary VTBI
Enabling this parameter allows the user to set the maximum volume
that can be infused for a Primary infusion.
Minimum and maximum secondary/bolus rate
Enabling this parameter allows the user to define a range to limit the
Secondary rate or bolus rate.
4— 4
Maximum secondary/bolus VTBI
Enabling this parameter allows the user to set the maximum volume
that can be infused for a Secondary or Bolus infusion.

KVO rate entry
If this is enabled, then the user can set their own KVO rate. If it is
disabled, the default KVO rate (as shown in the specifications) is used.
Occlusion default setting
Use this option to set the occlusion default setting that should be
applied when the pump is switched on. Press * to change the default.
The user can press the Occlusion Alarm Setting key to change the
occlusion level for a particular infusion regardless of this default
parameter setting. However the default setting is reapplied when the
pump is switched off and on again.
Secondary stop
With this parameter enabled, the pump stops when a Secondary
infusion is completed. It sounds an insistent alarm and displays a
message to say that the secondary infusion is complete.
Volumetric Infusion Pumps
4
If Secondary stop is disabled, when a secondary infusion is complete,
the pump sounds a non-insistent alarm twice and then automatically
restarts the infusion at the primary rate.
This parameter is independent of the setting of the Bolus parameter
and only affects a Secondary infusion; at the end of a Bolus infusion
the pump always reverts to the previously programmed Primary rate.
Bolus
When this parameter is enabled, the user is given a choice of whether
a Secondary or a Bolus infusion is to be run when they press the
Secondary/Bolus key. If Bolus is chosen, the volume infused is
deducted from the Primary VTBI. If Secondary is chosen, the
Secondary volume infused is kept as a separate total and does not
affect the Primary VTBI.
If Bolus is disabled, the user is not given a choice when they press the
Secondary/Bolus key: they can only make settings for a Secondary
infusion.
Quick Rate Change
In software versions before 0.71, the Quick Rate Change parameter
was always enabled, and could not be disabled. From version 0.71, the
parameter may be enabled or disabled on the Technician Menu.
Enabling this feature allows users to use the Options key to put the
pump into a mode in which they can change the rate quickly while the
pump is running or on hold.
Rate T aper
Enabling this parameter allows the user to taper the infusion rate,
either up or down, for the administration of Total Parenteral Nutrition
(TPN), Total Parenteral Admixture (Three-in-One) or other applicable
therapies.

Volumetric Infusion Pumps
V olume Over Time
Enabling this parameter allows the user to set up an infusion using
the volume to be infused and the total time, with the pump
automatically calculating the infusion rate. This can be done with
either Primary or Secondary infusions.
Dose-Rate Calculation
Enabling this parameter allows the user to set the dosing rate,
patient weight, the drug amount in the fluid bag and the volume in
the container, from which the pump then calculates the infusion rate.
Note: If you enable Dose-Rate Calculation, the Micrograms unit should also be
set (using the Micrograms parameter on this menu) according to your
hospitals protocol.
DRC Recovery
Enabling this feature allows a Dose-Rate Calculation mode infusion
to be accessed quickly when the pump is switched on.
Graseby Medical Ltd.
Backlight
This parameter sets the default for how the backlight behaves when
the pump is switched on. With the parameter disabled, the backlight
will go off after a minute of keypad inactivity.
If the parameter is enabled, the user can use the Options key to
control whether the Message Display Light is permanently on or
behaves as described above when the option is disabled.
Autolock Keypad
With this parameter enabled, the keypad will automatically lock one
minute after a key was pressed.
The user can unlock the keypad by pressing twice on the Keypad
lock/unlock button on the back of the pump.
This is in addition to the manual keypad lock.
GMT Timestamp
Enabling this parameter displays the message GMT to the right of
the time display.
4— 6
CAUTION:The backlight has a limited life and may, if used constantly, cause
the light to dim. Eventually the message display may then need
to be replaced. T o preserve the life of the message display , you
should only allow the Message Display Light to be turned on as
described here if it is specifically required. Misuse of this feature
could lead to both battery and LCD depletion.

Service Date
This parameter is used to set the service due date that is displayed
during power up when the pump is switched on. You can set or clear
the service date when this screen is displayed with the date flashing
on the Technician Menu:
Enter the new date in the format MM/DD/YY
To disable the Service Date feature, set the month, day and year to
zeroes.
When the pump is switched on, if the date set is reached or exceeded,
then an alarm is sounded and the following message is displayed:

to notify the user that the pump should be serviced.
Micrograms
Use this feature to determine the units to be displayed as µg or mcg
for the Dose-Rate Calculation. If you are not enabling Dose rate
calculation, you can ignore this item.
Note: Since the pump does not confirm the chosen unit display, test that the
display is set correctly. Switch the pump on normally and press the
Options key until the Message Display asks you to set the Dose-Rate
calculation. Then press * to examine the next screen.

About the Biomedical menu
The Biomedical menu allows you to access technical information
about the pump and carry out adjustments and tests. In previous
documentation it has also been called the Biomedical Special
Functions
System faults
If a fault occurs while the pump is infusing on a ward, an error code is
recorded. An audio alarm sounds and the Message Display shows:
If the system error resulted from a temporary condition, turning the
pump off then on clears the alarm and allows you to continue the
infusion. However, if the above message persists, the pump must be
removed from the ward for service and repair.
Error codes resulting from system errors can be viewed in the
Message Display at a later time by entering the Biomedical menu and
perusing the menu parameters described overleaf. The pump defaults
to the screen displaying the error code.
Graseby Medical Ltd.
Although the error codes are cleared when exiting the Biomedical
menu, they are stored as a snapshot event.
Entering the Biomedical menu
To enter this menu, first switch off the pump if it is switched on.

About Snapshot screens
Two Snapshot screens contain detailed information about the
operation of the pump. Snapshot screen-a contains the first level of
detail about an event, snapshot screen-b contains further details.
The information on the snapshot screens is encoded, in order to
present a large amount of detail on the display area. This section
describes the snapshot screens, and explains how to decode the
information that they contain.
The pump stores 200 events (50 on a pre-version .63 pump). For each
event, there is a snapshot screen-a and associated snapshot screen-b.
Using PC history software to interpret snapshot screens
A Graseby Medical History Download Software Kit is available. This
enables you to view, log, store and print out the encoded information
in an easy-to-read format, rather than carry out the manual decoding
described here.

Converting Snapshot screen-b values from decimal to binary
This section does not explain the process of conversion, but shows the
conversion of the fields on this sample Snapshot screen-b.
Fields A, B C and D on snapshot screen-b need to be converted into a
binary format. If you do not have access to the History Download
Software Kit for decoding snapshot screens (see page 4-11), you can
use the examples in this section to remind yourself how to convert a
decimal number to its binary equivalent.
The numbers on the screen above are explained in the table below:
The top heading line shows how the bits are numbered, with bit
zero on the right.
The next heading line, in italics, shows the value that is assigned
to each of the 8 bits.
4— 16
Each detail line shows the decimal value taken from the example
screen in bold, and shows how each of the the bits are set to
represent that decimal value (0 is off, 1 is on).
For example, AAA has a decimal value of 72, so bit 6 (value 64) is
set, and bit 3 (value 8) is set:

Chart F - Battery V oltage
Use this chart to convert the average value of the last two analog-todigital readings into the battery voltage at time of snapshot. Take the
value from field FFF on Snapshotscreen-b.
Analog-to-digital values that fall between those listed in the table
may be interpolated to determine the voltage.
For example, the example snapshot screen-b shows the value as
decimal 194, so the voltage value is 11.55.
Chart G - Pumping pressure
Use this section to interpret field GGG on snapshot screen-b for all
system state codes except 33, 35 or 93 which are described later in
this chapter. This example shows field GGG with a value of 131.
These instructions explain how to compute the pumping pressure of
the pump at the time of the snapshot.
The pressure sensor has a zero offset Analog-to-Digital value of 0 to 3.
In addition to that, every increment of 21 represents 1 psi.
Use the following steps to compute the pumping pressure contained
in field GGG on Snapshot-b:
1. Take the decimal value in GGG and subtract 5.
2. Divide the result by 21 to give the pressure in psi.
These steps can be represented by the formula:

Chart G - State Code 93
If the system state code (ZZ) on Snapshot screen-a is 93, then GGG on
snapshot screen-b contains a decimal representation of a hexadecimal
value. This hex value encodes the amount mode and dosing mode
selected by the operator during a Dose-Rate Calculation program
setup.
If the system state code is 93 use the instrucitons in this section to
convert the value to hexadecimal and then interpret the result using
the table below.
To convert the GGG value:
1. Take the decimal number, and divide it by 16.
2. The initial quotient is digit 1 and the remainder is digit 0.
Volumetric Infusion Pumps
As an example, if the value of GGG was 052:
052 / 16 = 3 (digit 1), with a remainder of 4 (digit 0).
To interpret the result
Look up the resulting values for digit 1 and digit 0 in the table below
to find out the dosing mode and amount mode:
Digit 1 with a value of 3 indicates an Amount mode of units/bag
4
Digit 2 with a value of 4 indicates a Dosing mode of units/hr.

Graseby Medical Ltd.
Mechanical Systems
Linkage system
The pumps employ a linkage system to move the cam housing/
pumping mechanism between the load position and the operate
position (see Fig. 5.1). The load position is used to load and unload
the fluid filled cassette.
The operate position brings the pistons and valves of the pumping
mechanism in contact with the cassette, and is monitored by the
microprocessor as it reads a signal from the cam housing switch
positioned on the cam housing.
The pumping mechanism is spring loaded to keep it in the load
position whenever the door is opened. When the door is closed the
linkage mechanism is actuated by the handle/arm assembly and the
pumping mechanism is drawn forward into the operate position.
Once in the operate (door closed) position, the latch lever secures the
pumping mechanism in place.

Volumetric Infusion Pumps
Cassette housing and door
The cassette housing and door of the pump (see Fig. 5.2) are designed
for one step loading. Opening the door turns the pump on and causes
the microprocessor to set the pistons and valves in the ready
position. After a cassette and Safety Clip are loaded the door can be
closed by swinging the door shut and pushing the door latch in.
The cassette housing and door secure the cassette in the proper
position for loading and operation. The cassette position is
established by placing the cassette (flat side out) over the 4 loading
pins built into the cassette housing. The cassette housing is mounted
to the front cover of the pump and is stationary.
The door is also mounted to the front cover using 2 hinge brackets.
When the door is closed, it provides a flat stable surface for valve
sealing and manipulation of the cassette chambers by the pistons.
In the door is a spring loaded pressure plate. When a fluid filled
cassette is placed on the cassette housing and the door is closed,
there is a considerable amount of pressure developed in the cassette.
The pressure plate is spring loaded to accommodate this pressure
build up. The pump relieves the pressure by reversing motor
direction and channelling the solution back up to the fluid container.
Graseby Medical Ltd.
Once pressure has been reduced, the pressure plate springs push the
plate toward the cassette housing. A position sensor (mounted on the
plate) is activated when the pressure plate reaches a specified
distance from the cassette housing. The microprocessor reads this
sensor and determines if the pressure has been adequately relieved.
If loading was successful, the pump can be run; if not, an insistent
alarm sounds and an alarm message is displayed.
The pressure plate also houses a pressure transducer used to monitor
occlusion alarm pressure. The transducer is positioned over the
middle cassette chamber, and provides continuous pressure
monitoring while pumping. Amplifier gain and zero offset are
adjusted using trimpots R439 and R448, which can be accessed at the
bottom of the door assembly. If pressure exceeds the selected
Occlusion Alarm Setting, an insistent alarm is generated.
In addition to the pressure plate and sensors described above, the
door assembly also houses the display board, LCD, keypad, CPU3
memory chip, and photosensor.
Safety clip retention slot
The Safety Clip, located on the administration set, is inserted into
the Safety Clip retention slot on the cassette housing (see Fig. 5.1).
The Safety Clip occludes the IV tubing whenever the door latch is
pulled out. When the door latch is pushed in, the arms of the Safety
Clip are spread apart by the wedge inside the safety clip slot, thus
allowing an infusion.

Cam housing switch and safety clip switch
The cam housing switch and safety clip switch are two sub-miniature
switches that monitor the cassette loading process (see Fig. 5.1). They
alert the microprocessor to the door open and safety clip alarm
conditions. If either switch is not activated, the pump will not
operate.
The cam housing switch (which is normally closed) is mounted to the
upper right side of the cam housing. It is activated by the cassette
housing as the pumping mechanism is drawn forward during the
loading process. The cam housing switch is opened as the door is
closed.
The safety clip switch (which is normally open) is mounted to the
bottom front of the cam housing. It is activated by the safety clip on
the administration set, when the clip is inserted into the retention
slot and the door is closed.
Graseby Medical Ltd.

Cam housing
The moulded cam housing is coupled to the front housing of the
pumps via the linkage system (see Fig. 5.3). The cam housing acts as
the main supporting structure for the electro-mechanical pumping
mechanism. The stepping motor mounts onto the lower portion of the
cam housing with its shaft pointing upward. Coupled to the motor
shaft is the vertical cam shaft which turns in the bushing inserts. The
encoder wheel, valve and piston cams of the pumping mechanism are
moulded onto the cam shaft.
The electro-mechanical components, the overpressure piston; valve;
two pumping pistons and valves, all operate within the cam housing.
Mounted to the cam housing are the cam housing switch, safety clip
switch, flex wedge assembly and the I/O circuit board.
Stepping motor
A four phase, synchronous stepping motor (see Fig. 5.3, item 3) is
used in the pumping mechanism. The step angle is 7.5 degrees and
the gearbox reduction ratio is 20:1.
The motor is operated by circuitry on the I/O board according to a
control program in micro-processor memory. To provide smooth
rotation, the motor is half-stepped for rates 0.1 mL/h through 499 mL/
h. At rates of 500 mL/h and above the motor is whole stepped. The
CPU1 sends commands to U106 on the I/O board, which sends on/off
signals for each of the four motor coils. These signals, in conjunction
with a step pulse, cause motor motion.

Issue A (April 2002)
3000/3100 and 500/505 Service Manual
Graseby Medical Ltd.
Due to the 20:1 gear reduction and half stepping, 1,920 pulses yield
one full revolution for rates of 499 mL/h and less. Each cam shaft
revolution and the resulting cycle of the pumping mechanism delivers
approximately 1.7 mL of fluid. Delivery of fluid to the patient is
smooth since each mL is delivered in approximately 1,130
increments. The 3100/505 pump is half stepped at all rates.
At rates of 500 mL/h and above, due to the gear ratio of 20:1 and
whole stepping the motor, each mL of fluid is delivered in
approximately 565 increments.

Cams, pistons and valves of the pumping mechanism
The motors mounting shaft is connected to a vertically mounted cam
shaft (see Fig. 5.3, item 13) by the motor coupler (item 4), interface
coupler (item 5), and hub coupler (item 6). Four cams (items 8, 9, 11
and 12) and an encoder wheel (item 10) are moulded onto the cam
shaft. The cams actuate four horizontal shafts, which in turn drive
two valves and two pistons which produce the pumping action.
Pumping cycle description (Figs 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5)
1. The cam shaft revolution causes the upper valve (item 17) to open,
allowing flow to the upper cassette chamber and upper piston (see
item 18). The lower valve (item 20) closes, thus stopping flow
between the upper and lower cassette chamber (lower piston).The
smaller, lowest chamber on the cassette is in contact with the
overpressure piston (item 22) and is the point where internal
pumping pressure is continuously regulated.
2. The upper piston (see item 18) begins to draw back as fluid flows
from the upper tubing into the upper cassette chamber. At the
same time, the lower piston (item 21) begins to slowly push
forward, forcing the fluid in the lower cassette chamber into the
lower tubing, towards the patient.
Graseby Medical Ltd.
3. Once the upper piston (item 18) has moved fully back and the
lower piston (item 21) fully forward, the upper valve (item 17)
closes and the lower valve (item 20) opens. The upper piston (item
18) then begins to push forward to force the fluid in the upper
cassette chamber downward into the lower cassette chamber,
where the lower piston (item 21) is beginning to draw back to
receive the fluid. The upper piston moves forward delivering fluid
more rapidly when the lower piston draws back, causing a
continuous stream of fluid to be forced out of the lower tubing to
the patient.
4. The lower valve (item 20) closes and the upper valve (item 17)
opens as the upper piston (item 18) reaches its furthest forward
point of travel and the lower piston (item 21) its furthest back
travel. The cycle then repeats.
The result of the above cam, piston and valve action is a smooth flow
of fluid through the lower tubing to the patient. Each full revolution
of the cam shaft delivers approximately 1.7 mL of fluid as governed by
the precise and unvarying travel of the pistons. The rate of fluid
delivered is determined by the rate at which the motor is stepped.

Encoder wheel and interrupter
The encoder wheel (item 10) is mounted to the cam shaft (item 13)
which is turned by the stepping motor to drive the pumping
mechanism (see Fig. 5.3 and 5.6). The interrupter assembly is
mounted to the back of the cam housing (via the I/O board) so its
emitter and detector arms straddle the encoder wheel. A light beam,
produced by the emitter, is alternately allowed to reach the detector
and then blocked by the teeth of the encoder wheel as it turns.
Data from the interrupter detector is read through the parallel to
serial interface chip U108 on the I/O board. The microprocessor
monitors the interrupter output in relation to the motor drive pulses
delivered.
If the micro-processor senses an incorrect response from the pumping
mechanism, a system warning is generated, sounding an alarm and
displaying the message:
Volumetric Infusion Pumps
In this manner, the encoder wheel and interrupter alert the microprocessor to binding, hesitation or stalling of the motor and pumping
mechanism.

Empty bag contacts
The empty bag contacts (see Fig. 5.3) consist of a rigid wire contact
and a spring contact and are used in detecting the No flow abovepump alarms. The wire contact (item 14) is connected to ground
potential. The spring contact (item 15) is mounted to the cam housing.
The position of the spring contact is adjusted by a set screw located
on the right hand side of the cam housing. The empty bag contacts
must touch briefly, once per revolution of the pumping mechanism.
Contact occurs only when the upper piston is in the major depression
area of the metering cam.
The upper piston (item 18) is loaded to the out position by a light
spring (item 19). Pressure caused by the solution container and
proper head-height overcomes this spring tension and causes the
upper piston shaft to maintain contact with the drive (metering) cam
throughout the pumping cycle. An empty fluid container or
inadequate head-height allows the piston to lose contact with the
metering cam. The wire contact fails to touch the spring contact and
an alarm results.

Sensors
Pressure sensor
The occlusion pressure and alarm conditions are monitored by a solid
state pressure transducer which interfaces directly with the middle
chamber of the fluid filled cassette. The transducer is a differential
pressure transducer which, when activated by a constant current
source provides an output voltage proportional to the applied
pressure. The output of the transducer is amplified by a two-stage
instrumentation amplifier which provides output analog voltages in
the range of 0 to 5V. Output voltages from the amplifier are read by
the display board microprocessor via an 8-bit analog to digital
converter.
When an Occlusion below pump alarm occurs, the motor briefly
backs off before entering hold. The over pressure condition is thus
reduced while you locate and correct the cause of back pressure. A
swing arm closes the over pressure valve to prevent reverse fluid
flow while the motor is backing off.
Pressure plate position sensor
The pressure plate position sensor (housed in the pressure plate in
the door) provides information to the display board microprocessor
regarding the position of the cassette housing and pressure plate.
The sensor itself is a microswitch that activates when the pressure
plate comes within a specified distance from the cassette housing.

Photo sensor
The pump systems include a photo sensor device used to monitor
ambient light levels and adjust the LED display intensities
accordingly. The photo sensor is a photoconductive cell which has a
cell resistance that varies inversely with illuminance. The cell
resistance varies from approximately 10K ohms to approximately 1M
ohms. The cell is designed into one leg of a resistor divider network
and the voltage generated across the cell is read by the display board
micro-processor via the 8-bit analog to digital converter.
Over pressure valve and swing arm
The over pressure valve (item 24, Fig. 5.3) is located directly below
the over pressure piston (item 22). The swing arm (item 2) is attached
to the cam housing at the rear of the over pressure valve shaft. The
toothed section of the swing arm engages the motor coupler and is
held in ready position by a torsion spring. The swing arm rides on the
toothed surface of the motor coupler while the pump is running.
When the motor backs off, the swing arm catches on the motor
coupler and forces the over pressure valve outward, occluding the
fluid pathway. In this way, reverse fluid flow is prevented whenever
the pumping mechanism backs off.

In the event an administration set is loaded improperly, excess
pressure can build up in the cassette. If this happens the pump
alarms and remains on hold. During this period, the excess pressure
within the cassette pushes the pressure plate away from the cassette
housing. In this situation the pressure spring, mounted on the over
pressure valve shaft, forces the valve outward, keeping it in contact
with the pressure plate and preventing free flow.
Back pressure regulation
Proper performance of the pump depends on constant conformity of
the fluid filled cassette to the cassette housing and pistons during the
pumping cycle. A small amount of pressure within the cassette is
therefore needed to maintain proper cassette form. The over
pressure valve (item 24, Fig. 5.3) and the over pressure piston (item
22) function together to create a resistance to the fluid flow for the
purpose of providing this needed pressure. Internal cassette pressure
must be great enough to maintain cassette form, yet kept below the
threshold of the Low Occlusion Alarm Setting.
The over pressure valve restricts fluid flow during operation which
results in internal cassette pressure. The position of the over
pressure valve and resulting pressure is influenced by the over
pressure piston.
The over pressure piston and valve are coupled by a vertical connect
shaft (item 23). The over pressure piston is slotted where it joins the
connect shaft. This slot allows semi-independent movement between
the valve and piston.

Volumetric Infusion Pumps
During operation, the rear edge of the piston slot makes contact with
the connect shaft. The piston assembly contains a spring (item 1)
which is precisely adjusted for the proper force. It is this spring force
(which is applied to the over pressure valve via the shaft) that
governs internal cassette pressure.
Should a small temporary pressure increase occur within the
cassette, the over pressure piston is pushed to the rear of the pump.
The vertical shaft disengages from the piston. The internal pressure
also pushes the over pressure valve to the rear, causing less flow
restriction. The resulting decrease in internal cassette pressure
allows the piston to move forward and engage the connect shaft, thus
reasserting spring tension to the valve. This restores the desired
level of internal cassette pressure.
The preloaded over pressure valve opens as forward rotation of the
pumping mechanism begins. The preload force is overcome when
pressure reaches approximately 1 psi. However, the break open
pressure varies and is sometimes higher than 1 psi.
Graseby Medical Ltd.

To avoid nuisance occlusion alarms in the Low Occlusion Alarm
Setting during start up, the pressure threshold is temporarily set to 5
to 6 psi. After a brief transition period to allow break open of the over
pressure valve, the pressure threshold reverts to 2 psi. The Low
setting should only be used with lower flow rates.
Pole clamp and IV pole
The pole clamp is designed to function with pole diameters of 1.2 cm
and 3.8 cm (0.5 and 1.5 inches). It supports the weight of three
infusion pumps. Turn the knob clockwise to attach the pump to the
pole and counter clockwise to remove the pump.
Modular connection system
In use, Graseby Medical recommend that the pump should be
connected to a suitably balanced IV pole using the pole clamp as
illustrated in the diagram on the opposite page.
To provide maximum stability when using the modular connection
system, ideally the IV pole should have 6 wheels and low centre of
gravity. The base diameter should be 56 cm (22 inches).
5 — 12
Attaching a single pump to an IV pole
To attach the pump to a suitably balanced IV pole:
1. Loosen the screw on the pole clamp.
2. Hold the pump by the handle and slip the arms of the pole clamp
onto the pole.
3. Tighten the screw on the pole clamp to firmly attach the pump to
the pole.

Attaching more than one pump to an IV pole (Revised case design shown here)
When multiple infusion lines are required, you can connect up to
three pumps to a single pole using the hooks and rails that make up
the modular connection system.
As all pumps have connectors on both sides, you can use any one as
the centre, left, or right pump.
This diagram shows how three pumps may be connected together
using the Volumetrics modular connection system:

Inspecting the modular connections
Before connecting the pumps, you must check that the modular
connection parts are all in good condition:
1. Carefully inspect the modular connection system for damage,
including cracks, chips, loose or bent parts.
2. Press the disconnect buttons several times to make certain that
the buttons move in and out freely.
WARNING:Do not use the pump if you detect any cracks, chips and loose or
bent parts, or if the buttons do not move in and out freely when
they are pressed. Failure to do so could cause inadvertent
disconnection of the pumps.

How to connect pumps together
Once you have inspected the modular connection system as described
in the previous section, connect the pumps as follows:
1. Clamp the first pump to the IV pole. This is now the "centre"
pump.
Note: As you tighten the screw on the pole clamp, the actuator arm adjusts the
modular connection hook and disconnect button. Once the pump is securely
attached to the pole, the hook is in the correct position to allow
connection of further pumps.
2. Take the second pump, grasping it by the handle and hold it so
that the modular connector rails are directly above or below the
connector rails of the centre pump.
3. Engage the edges of the modular connector rails and slide the
second pump up or down until it is connected to the centre pump.
When the connection is secure, you hear a distinct click. If you do
not hear a distinct click when connecting the pumps then the
modular connection system has not engaged properly.
4. Before releasing the handle of the second pump, double-check that
the connection is secure by moving the pump up and down and
exerting pressure on the top of the pump.

To attach a third pump to the other side of the first pump, repeat
steps 2, 3 and 4.

WARNING:Do not push or pull on the pumps, or the IV pole may tip over or
the pumps fall to the floor. Do not try to remove modular
connected pumps from the IV pole whilst they are joined
together. Either of these could cause the administration set to
separate from the fluid container thus spilling the medication, or
the pumps themselves could be damaged.

Recommended troubleshooting equipment
The following equipment is recommended for troubleshooting
possible infusion pump malfunctions:
A multimeter (Beckman 3010 or equivalent) is used to verify AC
and DC voltages, battery charging current, resistance, continuity,
etc.
An oscilloscope (Tektronix 2213 or equivalent) is useful for
electronic signal tracing and viewing various waveforms.
Regulated DC power supply (B & K 1601 or equivalent) is used to
power the pump when the AC power cord and battery are both
disconnected. The power supply must be capable of providing at
least 2 Amperes at 12 Volts. The output must be adjustable to 0.01
Volt increments. A 2K Ohm trimpot placed in a series with the
power supplys voltage adjusting component yields fine voltage
adjustment.
The power supply is used in place of the pumps battery when testing
battery voltage trip points. The DC voltage is varied to simulate
decreasing battery voltage.

Periodic cleaning
The pump may require periodic cleaning. This section lists the
recommended cleaning agents, and describes the recommended
procedure for cleaning the pump.
Recommended cleaning agents
Use any of the cleaning agents listed here as directed in Cleaning
Procedure and precautions, on the next page.
Soap
It is recommended that only soap and water solutions are used to
clean the outer surface of the pump. These solutions have little
disinfecting and sterilizing properties.
Quaternary ammonia salt-based solutions
Quaternary ammonia salt-based solutions are typically liquid
concentrates mixed with water, and are used for routine wipe-down
to clean and disinfect. These solutions may be effectively used for
routine wipe-down of the pumps with no adverse effects.
Graseby Medical Ltd.
7
Alcohol solutions
It is recommended that only 70% concentrations of isopropyl or ethyl
alcohol in water be used in cleaning and disinfecting the pumps.
However, solutions of methyl alcohol should never be used in
cleaning the pumps.
Bleach solutions
Bleach solutions diluted to 1 part bleach to 10 parts water
(approximately 0.5% solution) may be effectively used for routine
wipe-down of the pumps with no adverse effects. Care should be
taken to use only the concentration recommended (1/10) as adverse
effects to the pumps may occur.
Phenol based solutions
Phenol based solutions are routinely used to clean and disinfect. They
come in various forms, such as liquid concentrate and aerosol sprays.
Long-term use of concentrates could have harmful effects on the
pumps unless used in exactly the dilution strength (in water)
specified in the manufacturer's labelling.
CAUTION:Do not autoclave, steam sterilize, ETO sterilise or subject the pump to temperatures in
excess of 45° C (113° F). Excessive temperatures may cause damage to the pump.
CAUTION:To prevent serious damage to the pump it must not be immersed in any liquids or exposed
to strong organic solvents. Wipe off spills immediately . Do not allow fluid or residues to
remain on the pump. Additionally , the pump is not designed to allow it to be sterilised.
Failure to observe these cautions may cause internal damage to the pump.
CAUTION:Carry out periodic cleaning following the detailed instructions in this manual. Use only the
recommended cleaning agents.
