To avoid risk of explosion, never use pump in presence of flammable anesthetics, oxygen-enriched atmospheres, or explosive gases. Medical Electrical Equipment needs special precautions regarding EMC and needs to be installed and put into service according to the EMC information provided. Portable and mobile Radio Frequency (RF) communications equipment can affect medical electrical equipment. Before using any Medfusion® 3500 pump, you must be thoroughly familiar with the contents of the operations manual, including all warnings, cautions, and instructions for use. This syringe infusion pump is intended for use only under the direction of trained medical professionals. Failure to strictly adhere to the Intended Use of this product can result in serious injury or death. Do not use on the inlet side of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) systems where the negative pressure is greater than negative 100mm Hg as the high negative pressures can result in uncontrolled fluid flow. The pump may be placed in static magnetic fields up to 150 Gauss when secured to a non-moveable object. (Tested using 1.5 Tesla 64 MHz shielded MRI system.) Placement of the pump in a magnetic fringe field greater than 150 gauss may present a projectile hazard to the patient or MRI user because of magnetic field interactions. In addition, the operation of the pump may be affected and/or the quality of the MR images may be altered or degraded. Confirm All Settings. Before starting any delivery, always confirm the accuracy of all infusion values

to the original order. Programming the pump at a delivery rate other than that prescribed will cause inappropriate delivery rate. Always read manufacturer precautions and guidelines for medications, fluids, syringes and administration sets used with this pump. Medications or fluids may interact with the plastic components of the infusion syringe and sets. Only use syringe sizes and manufacturers listed in this manual, and always confirm that the syringe manufacturer and size displayed on the pump matches the manufacturer and size loaded into the pump. Use of other syringe sizes or manufacturers or mismatching syringes and sizes may cause improper instrument operation resulting in inaccurate fluid delivery or pressure sensing or other potential hazards. For detailed instructions and warnings pertaining to the syringe or administration set, please refer to the instructions for use supplied with the product for preparing the product for use. Verify that the plunger holders securely capture the syringe plunger. Make sure to capture the syringe barrel and flange and to thread the tubing through the holding clamps. Failure to properly secure the syringe and tubing could result in uncontrolled fluid flow to the patient. Always use the Prime function on the pump when loading a new syringe in order to remove any mechanical slack. Failure to prime correctly can delay infusion delivery and cause Total Volume Delivered to read higher than what is actually delivered to the patient. Always turn off fluid flow to patient in tubing via clamp or stopcock before loading or unloading syringe onto the pump. Uncontrolled fluid flow can occur when infusion set is not clamped or turned off resulting in inappropriate delivery rate. Always confirm compatibility between drug and diluent. Verify that the actual dose & delivery rates are acceptable settings. Actual rate may differ from target rate because of “rounding” of volumes in the dilution formula. NEVER prime any syringe while connected to a patient infusion site, as this may cause over-infusion. To avoid air embolism, always purge all air from syringe and infusion lines before connecting to the patient. Periodically check the fluid pathway and all connections (including the catheter/administration set connection) for leaks. Leaks in the system may cause fluid loss resulting in under-delivery, as well as allowing an opening for contamination. Once the syringe and tubing system is connected to the patient, raising the system above the patient (even briefly) can cause significant bolusing due 1

to changes in hydrostatic pressure. Lowering the system below the patient (even briefly) can cause significant interruptions in flow due to changes in hydrostatic pressure. This could cause improper instrument operation resulting in inaccurate fluid delivery. Use the smallest syringe size necessary to deliver the fluid or medication. Using a large syringe at very low rates may cause improper instrument operation, pressure sensing, or other potential hazards. When using E-Plates libraries, preset values are automatically inserted without pausing to verify each setting. You go directly to the Begin Infusion screen where all the infusion values are displayed at once. Be sure to verify their accuracy before starting the delivery. Certain data fields may be programmed blank (e.g. patient weight) and require data entry before the infusion will proceed. Never use a pump when it has signaled a system failure alarm. Withdraw it from use and send it to a trained biomedical technician for service. Electric Shock hazard. The only means of removing AC power is to disconnect the AC power cord. While the AC power cord is attached to the pump and plugged into an AC outlet, live mains voltage is present inside the pump. Any external power source connected to the DC jack must be IEC 60601-1 certified for medical equipment Type CF and meet Safety Class II requirements. Connecting any external power source to the Medfusion® 3500 pumps creates a medical system. Therefore, the user is responsible for compliance with IEC 60601-1 standards. Always operate this pump in a horizontal position to prevent fluid leakage into the pump. If you suspect fluid has leaked into it, remove pump from service until a trained biomedical technician can test it. Ensure that the ± 2% accuracy specification is taken into account when programming the pump and/or filling a syringe. Failure to do so may result in medication in the syringe becoming depleted sooner than expected. If the pump is being used to deliver critical or life sustaining medication, the interruption in the delivery of medication could result in patient injury or death. Use of cables other than as listed and with equipment other than those specified may result in increased EMC emissions or decreased immunity of the pump. This equipment should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment and that if adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the pump should be observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used. To avoid electric shock, before cleaning, always switch electrically operated equipment off and dis-

connect from AC power source. To avoid electric shock, only trained biomedical service personnel may service this pump. Service personnel should disconnect the AC power cord before servicing the pump. Always maintain this pump following manufacturer recommended instructions in the Service Manual. Improperly maintained pumps may cause either under-infusion or over-infusion to patient. To avoid electric shock, users should never open the pump case or battery compartment for any reason. Service personnel should always disconnect the AC power cord before servicing the pump. Never use a dropped or obviously damaged pump. Withdraw it from service until a trained biomedical technician can test it. There are potential health hazards associated with improper disposal of batteries, electronics, and contaminated (used) infusion sets and syringes. Dispose of used batteries, infusion sets, syringes, and other used accessories, or a pump that has reached the end of its useful life, in an environmentally safe manner, and according to any regulations that may apply.
Cautions • • • •
• •
•
ALWAYS verify that the software version of the pump and operations manuals are the same. Refer to this manual’s front page. NEVER use sharp objects to depress control buttons on the pump. This may damage the pump by rendering buttons inoperable. NEVER use organic solvents (e.g., acetone), quarternary ammonia compounds, strong acids, or bases to clean any portion of the pump. The pump is “spray resistant” from the top and sides but not “waterproof ”. NEVER spray cleaning or other fluids directly into openings on the bottom of the pump. The pump is not certified “waterproof ”. Never immerse the pump in water or other fluids. NEVER use light oil sprays (e.g., WD40™) to clean or lubricate pump. These oils contain chemicals that can damage the plastic of the pump. No useradded lubrication is necessary. NEVER sterilize the pump in a steam autoclave or gas sterilizer. Using autoclave or gas sterilization can seriously damage the pump and void the warranty.

Medfusion® 3500 Operation Manual
Introduction The Medfusion® 3500 pump is a small, lightweight and portable syringe infusion pump. The pumps offer a variety of delivery modes ready for you to program to meet your specific patient care needs. The actual modes available in a given pump, and their location on a given screen, depend on the custom setup. Configuration can be performed either directly on the pump, or on a PC using the PharmGuard® Toolbox software. Libraries can also be created (see page 73 for discussion about libraries). The cloning feature allows you to program a single pump then use that pump to “teach” it’s program to other pumps.
Indications for use The Medfusion® 3500 syringe infusion pump is
designed for the administration of fluids requiring precisely controlled infusion rates. The Medfusion® 3500 syringe pump is indicated for use with the following delivery routes: • Arterial • Intravenous • Epidural • Spinal • Enteral • Subcutaneous for delivering the following fluids: • Intravenous solutions • Blood or blood products • Drug solutions • Enteral feedings
The Medfusion® 3500 pump imports and exports data to assist in patient data management. The pump only communicates using the IR port. The required communications adapter and cable are later in this manual.
and can be programmed using one or more of the following delivery modes:
The pumps also have the FlowSentry™ rapid occlusion detection feature, which is a comprehensive array of pressure-related safety features, including rapid alarm response and reduced false alarms. Pressure trending is shown in the pump display, allowing earlier opportunities for intervention, as well as a post-bolus reduction feature that decreases bolus on occlusion release to less than 0.3 mL without the use of expensive, dedicated infusion sets.

Medfusion® 3500 Operation Manual
Correct use of this pump The correct use of the Medfusion® 3500 pump should
be based on the following principles: 1. This syringe pump is intended for intravenous, subcutaneous, epidural, enteral, spinal, and arterial infusions of critical medications or fluids requiring precisely controlled infusion rates. 2. Use only syringe manufacturers and sizes listed in the technical specifications of this manual. 3. Ensure all medications or fluids are compatible with the syringe, catheters, tubing, and fittings used in the infusion setup. 4. Always ensure fluids are compatible with each other when infusing more than one fluid or medication through the same infusion site. If connecting more than one pump to the same infusion site, use one-way checkvalves to prevent pumps from interfering with each other. Verify that the pumps will operate together without alarming. 5. Keep a spare Medfusion® 3500 Syringe Infusion Pump available in situations where an interruption in infusion could be dangerous. System failures require you to remove the Medfusion® 3500 Syringe Infusion Pump from service immediately. 6. A “System Failure” alarm indicates that you cannot use the Medfusion® 3500 Syringe Infusion Pump until it is serviced by a trained biomedical service technician. IMMEDIATELY REMOVE FROM SERVICE any Medfusion® 3500 Syringe Infusion Pump that displays a “System Failure” alarm, even if silencing the alarm, turning the power off and back on clears the alarm. WARNINGS: • Failure to strictly adhere to the Intended Use of this product can result in serious injury or death. • ECMO use: Do not use on the inlet side of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) systems where the negative pressure is greater than negative100mm Hg as the high negative pressures can result in uncontrolled fluid flow. • The pump may be placed in static magnetic fields up to 150 Gauss when secured to a non-moveable object. (Tested using 1.5 Tesla 64 MHz shielded MRI system.) Placement of the pump in a magnetic fringe field greater than 150 gauss may present a projectile hazard to the patient or MRI user because of magnetic field interactions. In addition, the operation of the pump may be affected and/or the quality of the MR images may be altered or degraded.

Medfusion® 3500 Operation Manual
Pump Programming Custom Configuration Depending on the settings and features chosen in customization, certain features may or may not be available when programming any specific pump. Each user is responsible to determine which features are present on the pump they are using and programming them accordingly.
WARNING: Always read manufacturer precautions and guidelines for medications, fluids, syringes and administration sets used with this pump. Medications or fluids may interact with the plastic components of the infusion syringe and sets. This interaction may result in serious injury or death.
For this reason, you will see the following warning throughout the steps for programming and delivering fluids throughout this manual: WARNING: Confirm All Settings. Before starting any delivery, always confirm the accuracy of all infusion values to the original order. Programming the pump at a delivery rate other than that prescribed will cause inappropriate delivery rate, which can result in serious injury or death.
Programming an infusion The Medfusion® 3500 infusion pumps have a variety
of delivery modes that are customizable by the user. The actual modes available in a given pump, and their location on a given screen, depend on the custom setup performed. The modes and programming steps described in this chapter, and the steps given for programming them, are based on general setup parameters. Which of the features and functions are available on your pump, and how the screens associated with them appear, depends entirely on how the pump was customized. If the functions and screens on your pump look different than those shown here, it is due to this customization. For a better understanding of the enabled or disabled features of your pump, refer to the “Tables of default settings for Anesthesia, General and NICU” chapter in the Configuration Manual. The pumps are shipped with the standard default settings for “Anesthesia” units or departments. These may be unchanged in your pump. Or, they may have been used as a foundation for configuring your pump to meet the needs of a specific unit, department, organization or hospital.
