BATTERY calibration
1. C onnect the Pump to AC power.
2. Select BATTERY CALIBRATION from menu and press OK.
3. The Pump will automatically run the battery calibration. Battery calibration cycles the battery through a charge, discharge and re-
charge sequence during which the gas gauge within the battery pack will be updated with a measurement of the current capacity
of the cells.
Battery compartment should be ventilated during calibration (open battery cover). Pump may fail calibration if too
A hot, so care should be taken not to calibrate too many pumps in close proximity (in a docking station, for example).
Ensure that the battery is supported as the battery compartment is opened.

Disconnecting the AC power at any time during calibration will cause battery calibration to fail.

start is required.
1. Enter access code 611, then power down when prompted.
2. Perform a full calibration.
Caution - Potential Erasure of Data:
A Cold Start erases all information from the Pump. This feature should only be used when changing between
incompatible software versions. Full recalibration and reconfiguration will be required. CareFusion technicians
should not re-instate drug information (this must be left to the customer).

Power Failure
Failures may occur when using laptops when communicating with Alaris Syringe Pumps, due to power
requirements.
External power supply may be used in conjunction with IrDA or RS232 cable to compensate for lack of power
from laptop.
Please Note IrDA data transfer can be affected by bright sunlight or fluorescent lighting.

No specific customer test equipment is available to conduct the RS232 on nurse call alarm tests. It is assumed that the customer will
have associated systems that make use of the RS232 and nurse call options, hence:
The nurse call system can be tested, once connected to the customer facility, by running the Pump and simulating an alarm condition
(e.g. Disengaging the drive while running).
The RS232 system can be tested by communicating with the Pump using a customer application.
If no customer systems are available for in-use testing, the following connections to the 9 pin D type output socket will permit testing. It
is recommended that all test connections are made via a 9 way D type plug that can be fitted into the Pump socket.

Alaris™ Syringe Pump MK4
Troubleshooting

PL8 / PL9 Error


Introduction
PL8 and PL9 are alarm codes code that are triggered when the Pump observes deviation within the linear measurement system.
Deviation is calculated between the measured value (linear potentiometer) and the calculated values derived from the motor travel. The
alarms are designed to detect failures within the transmission.

Failure causes
• Worn half nut
• Fluid ingress on or around the linear potentiometer
• Loose motor plate bearing
• Contact resistance linear potentiometer/Chassis PCB

Diagnosis
To establish where the fault lies perform the following test and checks:
• Perform precondition test as detailed in the Syringe Force Calibration procedure see Chapter 2, Configuration and Calibration. If
the Pump does not reach 10kgf this would indicate a worn half nut.
• Perform test on the drive engage function to indicate if the Carriage PCB is incorrectly positioned or if there is slight wear of the
half nut. From the Self Test 123 select Sensor and then Drive Engage. Whilst slowly declutching the plunger ensure there is no
movement of the plunger until after the display shows Drive Disengaged.
• Open the case and internally inspect the Pump for any signs of fluid ingress.
• With the case open and the mechanism not declutched, try to push the plunger in the direction shown in figure 1. Check that
there is no movement of the motor plate bearing (figure 2). If there is movement this would indicate a loose motor plate bearing.

Actions

Motor Plate
bearing

Figure 1 Figure 2
• Replace the carriage assembly (1000SP01107) if the half nut is worn, as indicated by precondition test.
• Reposition the Carriage PCB if the Drive Engage test fails. Move Carriage PCB by loosening the screw, slide the Carriage PCB and
retighten the screw. The correct position of Carriage PCB can be confirmed by repeating the Drive Engage test.
• Replace the motor plate (1000SP01799) if the motor plate has a loose motor plate bearing.
• Replace any parts damaged by fluid ingress.
• Perform Plunger Position and Syringe Force calibrations, see Chapter 2, Configuration and Calibration.
• Testing must be performed in accordance with the Performance Verification Procedure (PVP), see Chapter 3, Preventative
Maintenance.

Exception error handling


Exception errors, include Assertion Errors and Enum Failure Errors, are used to trap logical errors in the software execution.
The Pump will display the error type, the title of the software module in which the error occurred and the line number. The user should
make a note of these for use in diagnosis. This information is stored in the service log (access code 376).
After an error, the Pump will not store information when powered down. When the Pump is switched on again, the user should always
confirm clear setup if this is not done automatically.

Alaris™ Syringe Pump MK4
Circuit Descriptions

Module overview functional description


The Alaris Syringe Pumps are designed to be serviced generally to major assembly level. The PCBs are designed as non-serviceable
items and as such, can only be replaced as complete parts.
The major assemblies are:
• Control PCB
• Power Supply Unit PCB
• Display PCB
• Battery
• Transmission
• Transducer (Model CC)
CareFusion will make available, on request, circuit diagrams which will assist appropriately qualified technical personnel to repair those
parts of the device which are designated by the manufacturer as repairable.

Control PCB
Contains the main processor module, which provides the control functions for almost all aspects of the Pump. It drives and monitors
all other modules using the program code stored in the flash eprom. The main processor runs the main application program. The main
processor directly interfaces to:
• Safety Processor
• Keypads
• Display
• Real Time Clock
• Communications Switch to IrDA and RS232 (optional) interfaces
• Nurse Call Output
• Indicator LEDs
• Audible Alarm
• Motor – controller and dual channel coil driver DAC
• System Sensors (including: syringe clamp, plunger position, drive engagement opto, plunger button opto, syringe force sensor,
line pressure sensor, pressure disc opto, motor encoder, AC power).
• Backlight
• Power supply
• Battery gas gauge
The function of the Safety Processor Module is to ensure the correct operation of the Main Processor by constantly exchanging data. If
an error is detected, the module can independently disable the stepper motor that drives the transmission. Additionally, it can create
both audible and visible alarms using its dedicated piezoelectric buzzer, alarm LED and, if fitted, the Nurse Call Interface.
The Safety Processor controls (independent of main processor):
• Audio sounder
• Visual indicator LED
• Control signal to inhibit motor drive
• Power supply hold up control

Pressure Transducer (Model CC)


Monitors the line pressure when the pressure disc is inserted and flags the presence of a pressure disc. The Control PCB checks the
transducer for presence of a pressure disc and the line pressure when a disc is present.

Power Supply Unit PCB


The Power Supply Unit (PSU) is a single output switched-mode power supply rated at 15 VDC/1.6 A continuous duty. The PSU has a wide
input voltage range of 85 to 264VAC, 47-63 Hz single phase.

Display PCB
The Pump uses a Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL) as a backlight for the negative mode LCD display. The CCFL Backlight Supply
Module generates the high voltages required to drive the lamp and facilitates software based brightness control.

Alaris™ Syringe Pump MK4
Circuit Descriptions

Battery
The Battery Pack Module provides system power in the absence of a AC power supply.
The Battery Pack Module consists of six 1.2V 2.7Ah NiMH battery cells connected in series, a thermal fuse, thermal circuit breaker and Gas
Gauge Module sealed in a heat shrink sleeving.
The Gas Gauge Module is permanently connected across the battery terminals so that it can monitor terminal voltage, charge /
discharge current and the battery pack temperature.
Through charge monitoring information, from the Gas Gauge Module, the Control PCB Main Processor Module determines the battery
charge level and hence ‘Battery Low’ and ‘Battery Empty’ conditions.
Battery capacity will reduce over time.
Battery calibration will update the Gas Gauge Module with ‘up to date’ battery capacity information.
If the battery pack fails to achieve the calibration limits, it is recommended that the battery pack is replaced and calibration performed.

Transmission
The Transmission Interface Module provides the Pump with the capability of monitoring a number of critical parameters associated with
the transmission operation. The device can detect failures or incorrect operation of the transmission and prevent incorrect drug dosage
administration.
The electronics for this module occupy three separate PCBs that are located in various areas of the transmission as follows:

Plunger PCB Located inside the Plunger Holder Assembly. Contains the electronics that detect correct syringe plunger
location and gripper motion.
Carriage PCB Located on the Transmission Carriage. Contains electronics that detect correct engagement of the Half Nut
with the Leadscrew.
Chassis PCB Located on the Chassis Extrusion. This facilitates measurement of motor speed, syringe drive force and linear
plunger position. Additionally, the IrDA compliant infrared transceiver is positioned on the reverse side of
this PCB. The stepper motor which drives the mechanical transmission of the Pump is controlled by the Motor
Drive module on the Control PCB.

Corrective Maintenance

6 Corrective Maintenance
Corrective Maintenance
This chapter contains procedures required to properly disassemble, repair and replace parts and then to reassemble the Pump.
Following all spare part replacement and repair activities, testing must be performed in accordance with the Performance Verification
Procedure (PVP), see Chapter 3, Preventative Maintenance. Additional testing and calibration may be required after certain repairs are
completed, see table below for more information.
Ensure the Pump is disconnected from the AC power supply and switched off before attempting to service.
A The Pump contains static-sensitive components and therefore strict ESD precautions should be observed at all
times.
Always protect the plunger holder and syringe clamp when the Pump is upside down. For regular servicing, the use
of the case support cradle Part No. 0000JG00047 is recommended.
Batteries should be disposed of as outlined by the local country regulations. Do not send batteries back to the
manufacturer.
For fastener torque settings, please refer to Appendix Fitting and Replacement guidelines.
Only use CareFusion recommended spare parts.

Check for presence of shim if the potentiometer is the earlier type with blue casing. If shim is not fitted, or the
cam has sharp edges, fit the Cam Kit on reassembly. If the cam has sharp edges or the shim is folded incorrectly,
these may cause excessive wear of areas around the front case. Mechanical movement and small changes in the
syringe diameter can result in a syringe detect failure, which may occur if shim is not present or case is worn.
Potentiometers with black casing do not require a shim to be fitted. When replacing a potentiometer that had a
shim with a new potentiometer with black casing do not re-fit the shim.

Note: Replace the foot


last if replacing the case.
If fitting a new syringe
sizing mechanism, apply
generous amounts
of grease (CASTROL

a
The compliance levels in the ISM frequency bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz and in the frequency range 80 MHz to 2.5 GHz are
intended to decrease the likelihood that mobile/portable communications equipment could cause interference if it is inadvertently
brought into patient areas. For this reason, an additional factor of 10/3 is used in calculating the recommended separation distance
for transmitters in these frequency ranges.
b
Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur
radio, AM and FM radio broadcast, and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic
environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the
location in which the Pump is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Pump should be observed to verify normal
operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the Pump.
c
Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 10 V/m.

Fitting and Replacement Guidelines


General assembly information
1. wide range of self-tapping fasteners are available.
A
2. PT screws are for plastic, self-tapping applications.
3. TAPTITE screws are for metal self thread-forming applications. These can be recognised by a triangular cross-section on the end.
4. Almost all fasteners on the Alaris Syringe Pumps are self-tapping and have the potential to be over-tightened (over-torqued).
5. The force required to create a thread for the first time is more than when reassembling a previously made joint.
6. Always use the correct torque level when first making an assembly stage.
7. Take care with the torque applied when re-assembling parts. Less torque is required, so a hand tool may be more appropriate.
8. In many situations a stripped thread will require replacement of the failed component.
9. The head patterns of the fasteners are of the following types:
• Pozi Number 1 (smaller X head)
• Pozi Number 2 (larger X head)
• Torx Number T8 (Small star profile, used typically on countersunk parts with smaller heads - Backplate / AC power Inlet / Carriage
PCB screw).
• Torx Number T10 (Medium star profile, used on the majority of Alaris Syringe Pump Torx fasteners)
• Torx Number T20 (Larger star shape, typically for case securing screws)
• M3 (Hex head with 5.5mm across flats (AF) drivers)
• M4 nuts (Hex head with 7mm across flats (AF) drivers)
10. Always select the correct tool and bit pattern for the fastener.

Torque guide
Note: Where a torque
level is not stated then
fixing should be hand
tight.

1. When selecting a torque for a servicing activity, be aware that refastening will require less torque than the initial manufacture.
2. Use this information as a guide to the 'do not exceed' torque levels when servicing the equipment. When servicing it is
recommended that torque is applied gradually until the component is secure. In any process do not exceed the stated levels.
3. If a torque driver is available for servicing this will help control the applied torque. Otherwise, be aware that excess force may cause
the component to fail.

Lockbox Accessory
The optional lockbox is a available in two configurations:

• Rate Unlocked lockbox (1000SP01884) - is designed to allow • Rate Locked lockbox (1000SP01885) - is designed to prevent
the user to adjust rate whilst infusing. rate change whilst infusing. If using this lockbox users would
need to put the Pump on hold and open the lockbox to
change the rate.

Lockbox Cleaning Instructions


Routine cleaning may be performed whilst lockbox remains on Pump. Thorough cleaning of Pump may require removal of the lockbox
assembly.
Tools required to remove lockbox cover and base plate:
• T20 Torx Driver
• 4mm Hex Driver
• Small Flat blade screwdriver
1. Remove clear cover by removing the two screws using a 4mm hex wrench;
set screws and compression spring aside for reassembly. Note the location
of the spring (between the clear cover and the Baseplate) and that the
longer screw is used on the right side.
2. Use recommended cleaners to clean cover, set aside.
3. Remove base plate by removing the screw on the lower right side of the
backside of Pump.

4. On the front right side, open cosmetic covers with a small screwdriver or
suitable tool to remove two screws with a Torx T-20 driver; sets aside for
reassembly.
5. Use recommended cleaners to clean base plate and external surfaces of
the Pump.

6. After Pump and lockbox are clean and completely dry, align the lockbox
Base Plate as before. Secure the rear arm of the Baseplate using the screw
removed in step 3. The technique that should be used on this [thread-
forming] fastener is to slowly turn the screw counter-clockwise until a click
is felt that engages the screw with the previously formed thread. Then turn
the screw clockwise and tighten to 1.0 ±0.1nm.
7. Secure the front of the Baseplate using the two screws with cosmetic
covers removed in step 4; do not tighten fully.

8. Before tightening the screws fully, rotate the screw cover so that the hinge
part of the cover is orientated at the 3 o’clock position. This will enable the
caps to be opened easily for future servicing; recommended torque is 1.0
±0.1nm.
9. To replace the clear cover, first insert the spring (removed in Step 1) into
the round spring hole (on the right side of the Baseplate). Then position
the clear cover over the spring and secure in place with the (longer) large
screw removed in Step 1. Install the remaining screw on the left side; the
recommended torque for both large screws is 2.5 ±0.1nm.

• Bumpers should be replaced as required


• Cosmetic screw covers should be replaced as required
The lockbox assembly is designed to be removed twice annually for thorough cleaning, if hospital protocol requires
A more frequent removal of the base plate for cleaning it may reduce the life of the Pump case.

Pump Battery Replacement


The following steps are needed to replace a battery in a Syringe Pump that has been fitted with the Lockbox Option:
1. Orientate the Syringe Pump/Lockbox on its back, on a non-skid work surface, and open the Lockbox Cover.
2. Use a long flat blade screwdriver or suitable tool to gently pry open the cosmetic screw covers, use a Torx T-20 to remove the two
screws and set screws aside for reassembly.
3. Close the Lockbox cover and invert the Syringe Pump/Lockbox onto its face.
4. Use a Torx T-20 to remove the two screws of the Battery Cover, and slide the Battery Cover to the left to gain access to the battery, set
screws aside for reassembly.
5. After servicing/replacing the battery, replace the Lockbox Battery Cover by engaging flanges and grooves, and sliding the cover to
the right.
NOTE: The lockbox is attached to the Syringe Pump using thread-forming screws. If the screws are overtightened, the Syringe Pump
can be permanently damaged. To prevent overtightening, it is recommended to use a torque driver and to adhere to the
torque values specified in the sections that follow.
NOTE: The recommended technique for re-installing a thread-forming screw is to place the screw in the hole and slowly turn it
counter-clockwise until a click is felt as the screw helix finds the previously formed thread. Then turn the screw clockwise and
tighten to the recommended torque. If the screws are overtightened, the Syringe Pump can be permanently damaged.
6. Secure the Battery Cover to the Syringe Pump by replacing the screws removed in Step 4 and tightening to 1.0 Nm ± 0.1 Nm (9.0 in-
lb. ± 0.9 in-lb.).
7. Invert the Syringe Pump/Lockbox onto its back.
8. Re-install the screws with cosmetic covers removed in Step 2, but do not tighten fully. Before tightening the screws, rotate the
cosmetic screw covers so that the hinge part of the cover is orientated at the 3 o’clock position after tightening, (this may require the
hinges to be orientated at 9 o’clock or 12 o’clock before tightening and rotating into position as the screw is tightened, etc.). This will
enable the covers to be opened more easily for future servicing; tighten screws to 1.00 Nm ± 0.1 Nm (9.0 in-lb. ± 0.9 in-lb.).
NOTE: The 3 o’clock position is a guideline to aid future servicing and is not critical to the function of the part. Covers are fully
functional should the hinge get rotated further or even get damaged or break.
9. Snap cosmetic screw covers shut until an audible click is heard. Open and close the Lockbox Cover a few times to ensure smooth
action before returning to service.
