Alaris® Enteral Syringe Pump Operating Precautions

Hazards

B A V

•

An explosion hazard exists if the Alaris® Enteral Syringe Pump is used in the presence of flammable anaesthetics. Exercise care to locate the Alaris® Enteral Syringe Pump away from any such hazardous sources.

•

Dangerous Voltage: An electrical shock hazard exists if the Alaris® Enteral Syringe Pump’s casing is opened or removed. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

•

When connected to an external power source, a three-wire (Live, Neutral, Earth) supply must be used. If the integrity of the external protective conductor in the installation or its arrangement is in doubt, the Alaris® Enteral Syringe Pump should be operated from the battery.

•

Do not open the RS232/Nurse Call protective covering when not in use. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions are required when connecting RS232/Nurse Call. Touching the pins of the connectors may result in ESD protection failure. It is recommended that all actions must be taken by appropriately trained personnel.

•

If the Alaris® Enteral Syringe Pump is dropped, subjected to excessive moisture, fluid spillage, humidity or high temperature, or otherwise suspected to have been damaged, remove it from service for inspection by a qualified service engineer. When transporting or storing the Alaris® Enteral Syringe Pump, use original packaging where possible, and observe to temperature, humidity and pressure ranges stated in the 'Specifications' section and on the outer packaging.

L

Electromagnetic Compatibility and Interference

M

K

•

The Alaris® Enteral Syringe Pump is protected against the effects of external interference, including high energy radio frequency emissions, magnetic fields and electrostatic discharge (for example, as generated by electrosurgical and cauterising equipment, large motors, portable radios, cellular telephones etc.) and is designed to remain safe when abnormally high levels of interference are encountered.

•

Therapeutic Radiation Equipment: Do not use the Alaris® Enteral Syringe Pump in the vicinity of any Therapeutic Radiation Equipment. Levels of radiation generated by the radiation therapy equipment such as Linear Accelerator, may severely affect functioning of the Alaris® Enteral Syringe Pump. Please consult manufacturer’s recommendations for safe distance and other precautionary requirements. For further information, please contact your local CareFusion representative.

•

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): The Alaris® Enteral Syringe Pump contains ferromagnetic materials which are susceptible to interference with magnetic field generated by the MRI devices. Therefore, the Alaris® Enteral Syringe Pump is not considered an MRI compatible pump. If use of the Alaris® Enteral Syringe Pump within an MRI environment is unavoidable, then CareFusion highly recommends securing the Alaris® Enteral Syringe Pump at a safe distance from the magnetic field outside the identified ‘Controlled Access Area’ in order to evade any magnetic interference to the Alaris® Enteral Syringe Pump; or MRI image distortion. This safe distance should be established in accordance with the manufacturers’ recommendations regarding electromagnetic interference (EMI). For further information, please refer to the product Technical Service Manual (TSM). Alternatively, contact your local CareFusion representative for further guidance.

•

Accessories: Do not use any non-recommended accessory with the Alaris® Enteral Syringe Pump. The Alaris® Enteral Syringe Pump is tested and compliant with the relevant EMC claims only with the recommended accessories. Use of any accessory, transducer or cable other than those specified by CareFusion may result in increased emissions or decreased Alaris® Enteral Syringe Pump immunity.

•

This Alaris® Enteral Syringe Pump is a CISPR 11 Group 1 Class A device and uses RF energy only for its internal function in the normal product offering. Therefore, its RF emissions are very low and are not likely to cause any interference with the nearby electronic equipment. However, the Alaris® Enteral Syringe Pump emits a certain level of electromagnetic radiation which is within the levels specified by IEC/ EN60601-1-2. If the Alaris® Enteral Syringe Pump interacts with other equipment, measures should be taken to minimise the effects, for instance by repositioning or relocation.

•

In some circumstances the Alaris® Enteral Syringe Pump may be affected by an electrostatic discharge through air at levels close to or above 15kv; or by radio frequency radiation close to or above 10v/m. If the Alaris® Enteral Syringe Pump is affected by this external interference the Alaris® Enteral Syringe Pump will remain in a safe mode; the Alaris® Enteral Syringe Pump will stop the delivery and alert the user by generating a combination of visual and audible alarms. Should any alarm condition persist after user intervention, it is recommended to remove the Alaris® Enteral Syringe Pump from service. (Consult Technical Service Manual for further information).
