VET-PRO Operator’s Manual
To avoid possible personal injury or loss of life, observe the following:
Note: Read the entire Operation Manual before using the pump, since the
text includes important precautions.
•
Disconnect the Charger from the mains, prior to opening the casing.
Voltage present on internal components may cause severe shock or death
on contact. Only trained service personnel should open the pump cover.
•
Before servicing pumps connected to mains via the Charger - remove
rings, watches, and other jewelry, which may present a shock / burn
hazard.
•
To prevent a fire hazard, replace blown fuses on the Charger only with
fuses of the same type and rating (see fuse values on the Charger PCB).
•
The equipment is not suitable for use in the presence of flammable gases
– e.g. air/oxygen/nitrous oxide mixture.
•
Watch your fingers / nails when opening the pump door.
To avoid possible injury to patient, observe the following:
Warning
Battery charging is enabled as long as the charger cord is
connected to the mains and the pump is in the charger.
Switching the pump off does not disconnect it from the
mains. In order to disconnect from the mains, take the
charger cable out of the mains. In order to disconnect pump
from the mains, take it out of the charger.
F Note:
To avoid battery damage do not leave the pump battery in a
temperature more than 500C
•
Make sure the pump is attached securely to the Charger, which is
connected snugly to an IV pole.
•
If the pump is dropped, return the pump for inspection by qualified
service personnel.
•
Before operation, verify that administration set tubing is not kinked or
occluded.

•
Although the pump will operate using a variety of giving sets, use of
other administration sets may impair the operation of the pump and the
accuracy of the infusion.
F Note:
The maximum volume that may be infused under SINGLE FAULT
G CAUTION
To avoid possible damage to the equipment, observe the
following:
•
Do not immerse the pump in liquids.
•
Clean solution spills on the pump immediately. Use a damp
cloth or sponge. A cleaning disinfectant may be used. Wipe
thoroughly with a dry cloth.
•
Do not clean pump with chemicals such as Xylene, Acetone or
similar solvents. These chemicals cause damage to plastic
components and paint.
IWarning:
Any adjustments, maintenance, or repair of the uncovered
pump while connected to the power should be avoided. If
necessary, these repairs should be carried out by skilled
technicians who are aware of the hazards involved.
IWarning:
The pump should be operated within an ambient temperature
range of 15°C to 35°C. and at up to 85% humidity
IWarning
:
Do not operate the pump near high-energy radio-frequency
emitting equipment, such as electro-surgical cauterizing
equipment, and cellular telephones. False alarm signals may
occur.

VET-PRO Operator’s Manual
In VET-PRO, as with all infusion systems, the action of the pumping
mechanism and variations cause short – term fluctuations in rate accuracy.
The following curves show typical performance of the system in two ways:
1. The accuracy of fluid delivery over various time periods is measured
(Trumpet curves).
2. The delay in onset of fluid flow when infusion commences (Start up
curves).
Trumpet curves are named for their characteristic shape. They display discrete
data averaged over particular time periods or “Observation windows”, not
continuous data versus operating time. Over long observation windows, shortterm fluctuation has little effect on accuracy as represented by the flat part of
the curve. As the observation window is reduced, short-term fluctuations have
greater effects as represented by the “mouth” of the trumpet.
Knowledge of system accuracy over various observation windows may be of
interest when certain drugs are being administered. Short term fluctuations in
rate accuracy may have clinical impact depending on the shelf-life of the drug
being infused and the degree of intravascular integration, the clinical effect
cannot be determined from the trumpet curves alone.
The Start-up curves represent continuous flow versus operating time for two
hours from the start of the infusion. They exhibit the delay in onset of delivery
due to mechanical compliance and provide a visual representation of
uniformity. Trumpet curves are derived from the second hour of this data.
Tests performed according to IEC 601-2-24 standard.
