About the Software
Chapter 1—Introduction
About the Software
This software is provided under and subject to a license from CareFusion.
System Maintenance Software version 9.5.X allows you to perform routine maintenance on an
Alaris® System. The functionality of this software replaces maintenance software (MSW) and the Flash
tool for the Alaris® System. To use this software, you install it on a personal computer and then connect a
serial cable between the personal computer and a PC Unit.
The System Maintenance software kit includes:
• System Maintenance software CD-ROM
• Serial cable
• This Software User Manual (pdf on CD-ROM and printed version)
A USB serial adapter (not supplied) can be used to connect one or more PC Units to a personal computer
equipped with System Maintenance Software. The USB serial adapter must meet the following
specifications:
•
•
•
Plugs into a USB port on a personal computer.
Provides RS-232 male DB9 port(s) for direct connection to PC Units.
Draws its power from USB connection—a power adapter is not required.

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
•
•
4
Inspections are intended to comply with requirements specified by the
Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations
(JCAHO).
You can purchase a service agreement from CareFusion for preventive
maintenance inspections.

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).
