Chapter 1-Introduction
Feature Summary
Feature Summary System Maintenance software can be used to perform the following functions: • Maintain the PC Unit. • Upgrade firmware on the PC Unit and attached modules. • Perform preventive maintenance/check-in. • Set and check preventive maintenance reminder dates. • Troubleshoot and repair instruments. • Module Calibration, as applicable. • Set up, test, and configure the Auto-ID Module. • Download and view instrument logs. • Download CQI data logs. • Transfer Data Sets from the personal computer to the PC Unit. • Configure wireless network settings. • Test communications board interaction with a wireless network. • Disable Wireless Network configuration option. • Support wireless protocols for b, b/g, a/b/g, and d networks. • Support wireless security for WEP, WPA, and WPA2. Perform all pre-inspections before instrument use. A qualified technician or biomedical engineer must perform inspections at least once a year or as required in accordance with CareFusion guidelines. NOTE

Warnings
Chapter 1-Introduction
Warnings Warnings provide information needed to safely and effectively use the Alaris® product. A WARNING is an alert to a potential hazard which could result in serious personal injury and/or product damage if proper procedures are not followed. WARNING •
At no time should the System Maintenance software be used while the Alaris® System is connected to a patient.
•
System Maintenance software and procedures are intended to be performed only by qualified personnel, or under direct supervision by qualified personnel.
•
Prior to use, CareFusion recommends that you become familiar with each instrument and accessory used with the System Maintenance software. For specific instrument warnings, cautions, inspection requirements, and other related instrument information, refer to the applicable Alaris® System DFU and/or service manual.
•
The instrument case should only be opened by qualified service personnel using proper grounding techniques. When the instrument case is opened, electrical shock hazard exists which can result in serious injury to persons and instrument component damage.
•
To ensure proper calibration, run the post tests for the Pump Module and the accuracy tests for the Syringe Module after calibration. These tests are displayed in the default Calibration test lists.
•
Ensure that the instrument is in operational status before returning it to patient use.
•
Your PC Unit might not be compatible with every module. To determine module compatibility, refer to the applicable Alaris® System DFU.

Chapter 1-Introduction
Cautions
Cautions Cautions provide information needed to safely and effectively use the Alaris® product. A CAUTION is an alert to a potential hazard which could result in minor personal injury and/or product damage if proper procedures are not followed. CAUTION •
Loading the System Maintenance Software is considered a non-clinical service activity. Interconnecting a medical device with a personal computer might cause the safety or electromagnetic environment to change while the connection exists. The threat of higher leakage currents or EMI disturbance levels might be present. Remove the connection at both ends before patient use.
•
By default, the System Maintenance Software is set to automatically clear logs after they are downloaded. Once log entries have been cleared, they cannot be downloaded again from the instrument. The log entries remain in the database and can be displayed using the View Reports tab in the main window.
•
Only one PC Unit should be connected to a group of attached modules at any given time. Connection of multiple PC Units to each other will cause damage to the IUI connectors.
•
Only one SpO2 Module can be connected to the PC Unit at any one time.
•
If a Pump Module fails the patient-side occlusion or rate accuracy verification (RAV) tests, calibration is required. Failure to calibrate and retest the instrument might result in improper instrument operation.
•
For tests that require water, use distilled water at room temperature between 41°F and 104°F (5°C to 40°C). If water is not within this temperature range, the reading might be inaccurate.
•
If multiple instances of the System Maintenance Software are running (typically on different personal computers), it is possible to assign different IP addresses to the same PC Unit. To ensure this does not occur, assign each PC Unit a single, unique IP address. NOTE: If the System Maintenance Software instances are connected to the same System Maintenance Software databases, this problem cannot occur.
•
Calibration verifications perform strenuous tests on the Syringe Module and PCA Module. In some cases, these tests differ from the check-in/preventive maintenance tests.
•
Following calibration, use calibration verifications (rather than check-in/ preventive maintenance verifications) to verify correct calibration.
•
Use of accessories or cables other than those specified might result in degraded electromagnetic compatibility performance or safety of the Alaris® System.
•
The flow rate out of the gas source and into the EtCO2 Module must be greater than 0.5 liter/minute to ensure accurate readings. It is recommended to place a flow meter between the gas source and the “T” in the line (breather line).
