reading inches should be less than .100 IN. Move the track all the way out and
the reading should be greater than 5.570 IN.
7. The SIZE readings will change when the syringe clamp is moved up and down.
Check the size by loading a syringe that the unit is set for and simply check that
the size is recognized by the unit when setting up an infusion as in step 14
8. The BATTERY voltage will indicate the voltage charge of the battery.
9. The FORCE is a reading of the force sensor, with no syringe loaded (no force)
the reading should be close to 0 LB. Apply some finger pressure to the
transducer plate and the force reading should increase.
10. The PLUNGER DETECTED with no syringe loaded should be NO. Load a
syringe and the PLUNGER DETECTED should be YES. Remove the syringe
and it should change back to NO.
11. TEST LED/ALARM. Press the Select key and the LEDs should flash and the
audio alarm should sound. Note that the System Malfunction LED and audio

retainer. Then load the force gage onto the unit. Turn on the force gage
and zero the reading. With no force on the plunger the unit should read 0
+/- 0.30 Lbs. Slowly turn the knob on the force fixture to apply force to
the plunger until 5 Lbs is indicated on the force gage, then check the
reading on the unit, the reading should be 5 +/- 0.50 Lbs. Then check the
reading at 10 Lbs, unit should read 10 +/- 0.75 Lbs and then 15 Lbs, unit
should read 15 +/- 0.75 Lbs. If there are any problems with the force
readings, then perform FORCE calibration.
With syringe.
Reference appendix III Occlusion Force chart in the Operations Manual.
Prepare a syringe, half filled with water and load onto the unit.
Set up program the unit for the syringe being used. Deliver/start the
infusion at maximum rate and then occlude the syringe.
The unit will run to an occlusion condition. Note the reading in lbs in the
lower right corner of the LCD, this is the occlusion point.
Note: the unit may be set up and tested for any of the occlusion forces
listed in the table (LOW, NORM, MID or HIGH). Reference section 8.2.4 in the
Operations Manual for temporary adjusting the occlusion plunger force.
4. Plunger driver test:
Load a BD 60 syringe, set a delivery limit of 50 mL and a rate of 1500

ml/hr. Prime the syringe to approximately the 55 mL mark on the
syringe. Measure with a caliper the distance between the right edge of the
clear syringe clamp and the transducer plate, record this reading.
Start the delivery and allow the unit to deliver until the DELIVERY LIMIT alarm
occurs. Measure the same distance between the syringe clamp and the transducer
plate. Subtract this reading from the first reading, this difference should be 3.473
to 3.615 inches.
e.g. 4.495 minus 0.945 equals 3.550

VINC 2.87746 4.21167 9.23006 14.0093
Unit for VINC is ml/inch.
VL (ml, Volume to be delivered) = Rate(ml/HR) x Time(HR)
Displacement (inch) = VL(ml) / VINC(ml/inch)
Procedure to determine expected displacement:

(1) Find VINC with given Syringe Manufacturer/Size.
(2) Determine Volume to be delivered (using Volume Limit) by multiplying Rate with Time.
(3) Find the expected Displacement by dividing VL with VINC.
Testing:
(1) Load syringe and set up rate and volume limit.
(2) Prime the syringe.
(3) Measure the initial track position.
(4) Start Stopwatch and Delivery.
(5) Check Stopwatch reading when delivery is stopped to verify the Delivery Time.
(6) Measure the track position and calculate the displacement the by the difference between the beginning
and ending track position readings. Confirm that the displacement is within specification +/-3% of the
displacement, ie BD 60 syringe, VL=50mL. 50/14.10862=3.544. +/-3% 3.438 to 3.650.
Alternatively: Flow accuracy testing may be performed with a balance/scale or graduated cylinder/pipet per
your facility procedures. The flow accuracy is +/- 3% excluding syringe variations.
5. Leakage current test.
Connect the unit to the leakage current tester.
Power on the unit.
Measure the leakage current to any of the exposed metal screws of the
unit, the reading should be less than 100uA in both the normal and
reversed settings.
Pole Clamp and Handle Testing
1. Test that the handle operates. The handle should pull up, rotate forward, then
pull up to the Carry position. Then push the handle down, rotate to the back
and push down to the Store position.
2. Check that the base of the handle (attached to the pump) is not damaged or
cracked. Check that the hex head screw is in place at the bottom of the base.
3. Attach the pole clamp to a pole and tighten the thumb screw to secure it on the
pole.
4. Place the handle into the Carry position. Then carry the pump to the pole
clamp. Place the locking tabs into position and gently push down on the
Handle to rock the Pump into the locked position.
5. Check that the Handle locked into both the top and bottom of the metal spring
on the clamp.
Locked at the top, spring is locked over post.
Locked at the bottom, spring is locked over the screw head.
6. Check that the pump/clamp will rotate 360 degrees in 90 degree increments
in any direction (CW or CCW) by applying a gentle force in the desired
direction.

Theory of Operation
1. Introduction:
ABC Syringe Infusion Pump Model 4100 provides a continuous or bolus infusion in
neonatal and pediatric intensive care, anesthesia, adult critical care or any other area
where the pump use can be monitored or supervised by a trained healthcare
professional. Syringe pumps are typically used when safe and precise administration
of fluids contained inside a syringe is required. Infusates include drugs, antibiotics,
lipids, blood, blood products, enteral solutions, or other therapeutic solutions. The
pump must be friendly to the user and easy to operate. Various sensors are required
to minimize user error or to detect questionable device operation to enhance patient
safety.
The design of this new syringe infusion pump attempts to include the following
features:
- Front syringe loading and one hand operation to actuate clutch and to secure the
syringe plunger
- Wider size sensing range (1cc to 140cc) and higher motor driving torque and rate
- Battery pack can be removed externally
- Metal Housing for durability and rigidity
- Water-resistant seals
- Improved serviceability with replaceable modular units
2. Description of Hardware System
2.1 Hardware Components
The Hardware system is divided into two major sub-assemblies (S/A): Top S/A,
Bottom S/A. A battery pack can be installed or removed externally without a tool.

2.1.3 Battery Pack:

Battery Housing, Battery pack, Battery PCB S/A, Battery Thumb Screw
2.2 PCB Assemblies
2.2.1 Main PC Board S/A
This is the brain of the pump. It coordinates the AC and battery power for the
system. The microprocessor drives the motor, receives signals from the sensors,
communicates with LCD module and keypad on the Top S/A, and controls the
audio alarm and LED indicator.
A Motor shaft rotation sensor and a Battery contact are mounted on the Main
PCB. Power transformer and fuses are also on the Main PCB.
2.2.1.1 Power Supply

(1) AC power is applied to the transformer XF1 via a connector and fuses F1
& F2. The output AC voltage from the transformer is full-Wave rectified
to unregulated DC voltage +VY.
(2) A step-down switching regulator converts +VY voltage to a regulated
voltage +VX (6.2V).
(3) Battery power (BAT+, about 5.0V when fully charged) and +VX jointly
supply the power +VZ for the device.
If AC power is ON, VX is higher than BAT+ and thus, VX power is used.
When AC power is removed (VX=0), BAT+ will supply power to VZ.
(4) A step-down switching regulator converts VZ to a constant DC voltage
+VA (5.5V).
VA remains at 5.5V when battery power BAT+ is used. VA increases to
5.8V when AC power is ON (VX, 6.2V) is used. If AC line voltage drops
from 115V to 90V, step-down regulator can no longer maintain VX at
6.2V. As long as VX does not drop below BAT+, power from VX will be
used. If battery is not present and AC power drops to 90V, then step-up
regulator steps up voltage from VX to maintain 5.5V at VA.
(5) Distributed Power:
DC voltage VA is distributed to various circuits for further conversion to
other voltages (+5V and +3.3V).
(a) +3.3M (3.3V) is provided by a regulator to supply a stable DC power
to Microprocessor and to reference diode to provide a system reference
voltage VREFX (2.5V) to calibrate ADC readings.
(b) +5M (5V) is provided by a regulator to supply a stable DC power to
microprocessor, PPI chip, Real-Time circuit and analog circuits: ADC
chip, Size sensor, and Position Sensor.
(c) +5M1 (5V) is provided by a regulator to supply a stable DC power to
other peripheral devices: alarm circuit, watchdog circuit, digital
sensors, drivers, battery charging circuits, and motor driver logic
circuit. Motor driver uses voltage VA directly.
(d) +VSN (5V) is generated by a regulator for the power to Force
Transducer PCB.
2.2.1.2 Microprocessor System
(1) Microprocessor: ST Microelectronics uPSD 33334DV-40U6 is used. It
has the following features:
(a) Fast 8-bit 8032 core microprocessor with reduced machine cycle time
per instruction with relatively low power consumption.
Variety of peripherals:
(b) Two UART ports for serial communication
(c) Three 16-bit standard 8032 timers
(d) 256K-byte Main Flash Memory divided into Eight 32K-byte sectors,
for program code and archived history records.
(e) 32K-byte Boot Flash Memory divided into Four 8K-byte sectors, for
booting code and storage for system parameters, library, and current
history records.
(f) 8K-byte Static RAM (SRAM) for general purposed use. It can be
made non-volatile with battery back-up.
(g) Very Flexible Address Decoding Circuit to allow dynamic
configuration of memory during boot-up and normal operation.
(h) Built-in JTAG circuit to simplify Software Debugging without
expensive Emulator.
(2) Additional I/O Ports: The microprocessor does not provide enough I/O
port lines to control various circuits. A Programmable Peripheral
Interface chip (PPI, Intersil 80C55A) provides additional 24 I/O port lines.
(3) System Clock: A 11.0592MHz crystal is used with microprocessor and to
generate the baud rate for serial communication.
2.2.1.3 Real-Time Clock

Dallas Real-Time Clock IC (DS1337) is used to provide system real-time
clock. It uses 32.768KHz watch crystal to provide signal to Counter IC
(4060) to generate 32Hz and 2048Hz signals. 32Hz signal is constantly
compared with system clock to assure its accuracy. 2048Hz signal is for the
audio system malfunction alarm.
2.2.1.4 Motor Driver Circuit

Allegro IC (A3965SLB) is designed for battery operation with low logic
supply current. It uses PWM (Pulse-Width-Modulation) method to control the
power to the Stepper Motor. With this feature, the motor current consumption
at low infusion rate can be greatly reduced to save battery power while
providing more than ample power to drive the specified load.
2.2.1.5 Alarm / LED Circuit
(1) Watchdog Circuit:
A mono-stable logic IC (4538) serves as watchdog circuit. It will trigger
system malfunction LED/alarm and shut down motor power if it does not
receive pulses from microprocessor within a specified time period.
(2) Audio alarm Circuit:
Audio amplifier (TI TPA301) and a Speaker provide the audio alarm. The
microprocessor generates a variable frequency signal to the amplifier to
generate variable frequency alarm. Logic IC (4052) and resistors provide
3 volume settings (Low, Normal, High) for the alarm.
(3) LED Circuit:
(a) Syringe Light: the Bi-Color LED indicator on the Bottom Housing is
driven by a driver to illuminate the syringe so that the delivery status is
visible when the surrounding lighting is dim.
(b) System Malfunction: the Red LED on Top Housing is turned on by a
driver with signal from the Watchdog circuit.
(c) Pump/Syringe Status: Tri-color LED on Top Housing provides the
Red, Green, Yellow signals for various Pump/Syringe conditions.
This LED is driven by a latch IC on TOP-PCB (74HC373).
(d) Battery Status: Tri-color LED on Top Housing provides the Red,
Green, Yellow signals for various battery conditions. This LED is
driven by a latch IC on TOP-PCB (74HC373).
2.2.1.6 Battery Charging Circuit

(1) There is a 4-pin battery contact mounted on the underside of Main PCB to
connect the battery pack: (1)BAT+, (2)TEMP, (3)RES, (4)GND.
(2) The charging circuit on the Main PCB consists of a dedicated controller IC
(TI BQ2000T), and supporting IC, FET (IRFU5505), Inductor and other
resistors / capacitors. The charging circuit senses the temperature of the
pack to determine the charging status of the battery. It is also used to
indicate the presence of the battery pack. Microprocessor also monitors
the temperature and voltage of the pack to assure proper battery charging.
A current sensing resistor allows charging controller IC to modulate FET to
regulate the charging current. This resistor senses the total of battery
charging current and system current. Thus, if more current is used for the
motor, less current will be used to charge the battery. A variable resistor is
used to calibrate the total current to a specified value, thus, limiting the
maximum battery charging current.
2.2.2 Top Board S/A
Power and Control signals to the Top PCB are sent from Main PCB via 26-pin
flex cable. The control signals includes Bus EBUS(0-7) to LCD module, Keypad
scanning, and Latch. The major circuits on the Top Board S/A are the following:
2.2.2.1 Power ON/OFF circuit

The Power ON & OFF keys on the Keypad actuate the latching circuit to
provide a signal KEYON to Main PCB to signal the Pump Power status.
2.2.2.2 TOP PCB Power Supply Circuit

The power supply circuit converts power source VA from Main PCB to 5V
regulated voltage, LCD bias voltages.
(1) +5MX (5V) is provided by a regulator to supply regulated voltage to the
LCD module and the most of the circuits on Top PCB.
(2) -VEE (-12.5), for LCD bias voltage, is generated from +5MX by voltage
converter IC’s.
2.2.2.3 Backlight Driver Circuit
The power to the LCD backlight is generated by a switching power supply
consisting of controller IC (NCP1406) and an inductor. Microprocessor
controls the light intensity of the backlight (OFF, LOW, and HIGH) via Latch
(74HC373).
2.2.2.4 Keypad circuit

The keypad consists of a 4 rows and 7 columns switch matrix and two special
keys for power control of the pump. The keypad is connected to the TOP-
PCB. Buffer and Multiplex IC’s (74HC257, 74HC05) are used for scanning
the Keypad. Control signal KEYS* from Main PCB is used to read the
keypad data to EBUS.
2.2.2.5 Latch IC
Latch IC (74HC373) is used as expansion of I/O port to drive LED indicators
and various control signals to LCD backlight, RS-232 circuit. LE signal
enables the data on EBUS to the latch.
2.2.2.6 RS-232 driver

Converter IC (MAX3311E) converts the TTL RX/TX from the Main PCB to
RS232 level for communication port.
2.2.2.7 A customized graphic LCD module
The LCD module is mounted on the Top PCB. The module has 128x128
pixels and with on-board controller provides the visual display for user
interaction. It can also display 16 row 21-character text lines. Microprocessor
communicates with LCD controller via 8-bit parallel data bus (EBUS0-7) and
other control signals.
2.2.3 Force Transducer PCB S/A

The Force Transducer PCB provides amplified signal of the Force Transducer and
Plunger Detecting signal to the Main PCB.
(1) Force Sensor Amplifier (INA126) is configured as an instrumentation
amplifier to amplify the differential signal from strain gauge mounted on the
Transducer Plate pushing the syringe plunger. A Dip switch is used to adjust
the offset voltage of the amplifier.
(2) Plunger Detecting Opto-interrupter senses the presence of the plunger detector
arm to determine if the syringe plunger is properly retained by the plunger
retainer bars.
(3) ZIP Connector J2 sends the amplified force signal and the plunger detecting
signal to Main PCB via the Force cable.
2.2.4 Battery PCB S/A

The Battery PCB provides the gold plated contact fingers for the battery charging
contact from the Main PCB. 3 wires (BAT+, GND, TEMP) from the Battery cell
S/A terminals and the thermistor inside the Battery cell S/A are soldered onto this
PCB to be routed to the contact fingers. There is a resettable fuse for over-current
/ short-circuit protection.

2.4 Sensors
This section summarized various sensors implemented inside the pump:
2.4.1 Syringe Barrel Size Sensor: (Top Housing)

A potentiometer mounted with size sensing pinion engaging with the gear to
the syringe clamp to translate the syringe barrel diameter to an analog signal
to determine the size of the syringe.
2.4.2 Syringe Plunger Force Sensor, and Detector: (Transducer Housing S/A)
(1) Force Sensor: Force Sensor is a double-beam aluminum part with a strain
gauge sensor. It is used to sense the force by Transducer plate pushing the
syringe plunger.
(2) Plunger Detector: This detector senses the presence of the plunger
detector arm to determine if the syringe plunger is properly retained by the
plunger retainer bars.
2.4.3 Motor Shaft Rotation Sensor: (Main PCB S/A)

An opto-interrupter, mounted on the underside of Main PCB S/A, senses the
vans of the disc mounted on the motor shaft to determine if motor is turning at
proper speed and correct direction.
2.4.4 Track Position Sensors: (Bottom Housing)

(1) Position Opto-Encoder: A pinion/encoder wheel (with bars and gaps)
engages the gear rack on the track to translate the movement of the track.
The bars and gaps on the encoder is sensed by an opto-interrupter to
provide a digital signal for the incremental movement of the track.
(2) Position Potentiometer: A potentiometer, mounted on the position pot
gear engaging with the pinion/encoder, provides an analog signal of the
absolute positional information of the track.
2.5 Handling Different AC Voltages in Foreign Countries
The current configuration of this device is for 115VAC line voltage. It can be
configured for 220VAC by changing the jumper wires for the transformer XF1 and
the size of the fuses (F1, F2). If the line voltage falls below 100VAC (e.g., Japan),
then similar transformer with different secondary voltage should be used. The
frequency of the line voltage does not affect the operation of this device.
3. Other related information
3.1 Mechanical Driving System
The rotating shaft of stepper motor translates into linear movement of the Tack via
gear system and leadscrew. The syringe plunger is pushed by the Transducer Plate
(mounted on the Track) when the clutch halves inside the Track are engaged with the
leadscrew.
Motor shaft rotation (96 steps per revolution) to drive a motor pinion (64 pitch 20
teeth) and via a cluster gear ( 64 pitch 84 teeth / 48 pitch 18 teeth) to the leadscrew
gear ( 48 pitch 72 teeth). Thus, a leadscrew gear rotation will need 1612.8 motor
steps (96x (84/20) x (72/18). The leadscrew gear drives a leadscrew (20 threads/inch,
double start, i.e., equivalence of 0.050” per leadscrew revolution) to move the Track
S/A when the clutch halves are engaged with the Leadscrew. The Motor, Gearing
system, and Leadscrew provide a combined resolution of 0.000062” per motor step
(1”/16128). The Saddle housing has two stop ribs to allow a maximum traveling
distance of the Track S/A of 5.6”.
3.2. Factors affecting delivery accuracy of the pump
Stepping motor is used to drive the syringe. Each motor step advance is performed
by the microprocessor at the motor timer interrupt. The motor timer is derived from
the system clock. A separate clock is used to monitor the accuracy of the system
clock.
Delivery Accuracy is determined by the following components:

(1) Accuracy of the system clock of the microprocessor
(2) Accuracy of Leadscrew
(3) Size sensor is used to determine the syringe size and the motor speed. Once the
size is properly recognized, accuracy does not depend on sensors any more.
(4) All sensors are used only to confirm the system performance. No sensor feedback
is used to maintain the motor speed or the delivery accuracy.
3.3 Description of Software relating to delivery accuracy
The main function of the device is to operate the stepper motor accurately and safely
to drive the syringe plunger to deliver therapeutic fluids to the patient. This can be
achieved by the following measures:
(1) Generating Accurate Data for Motor Control:
The data entered by the user together with the characteristics of the loaded
syringe are used to calculate the motor pulse rate and to determine the
maximum pushing force allowed at the syringe plunger.
(a) Double calculation: The motor pulse interval conversion functions are
executed twice and the identical results are verified.
(b) Safeguard of the Motor pulse data with duplicated data and/or CRC code
after the data are generated.
(2) Generating Accurate Motor Pulse from Motor Control Data
(a) Since Motor Pulse Interval determines the motor speed, the delivery
accuracy depends mainly on the correct conversion data and the accurate
generation of the motor pulse interval by the Hardware/Software system.
(b) The system uses a hardware timer and a timer interrupt function to
generate the motor pulse. The timer is directly tied to system clock. Thus,
the clock accuracy is directly related to the delivery accuracy.
(3) Monitoring the Progress During Delivery
Various mechanisms are used to detect possible errors during pump operation:
(a) System clock accuracy is monitored by comparing with a 32Hz signal
from an independent real-time clock.
(b) The generated motor pulse is measured with another system timer to
monitor its accuracy.
(c) The integrity of motor pulse control variables are continuously monitored
to detect any abnormal modification.
(d) Various hardware sensors are used to monitor the actual output from the
motor (i.e., motor shaft rotation and plunger movement). However,
delivery accuracy does not depend on the sensors.
(e) Additional sensors (Force, Size, Plunger detector) are monitored during
delivery to detect any abnormal conditions (e.g., occlusion, syringe
dislodged) to alert the user.
(4) Malfunction Detection
As a safety measure, any error above will trigger system malfunction to cut
off motor power to stop pump delivery and place the pump in an alarm state.
