Instructions for use

CDC Guidelines, Institutional Policies and accepted IV therapy principles should be followed.
1. Load batteries. Open the battery compartment by turning the battery screw cap on the bottom of the device. Insert
four "C" cell alkaline batteries into the unit with the negative (-) side or flat side of the battery going in first toward
the top of the device. Use only alkaline batteries.
2. Verify the drug, concentration and dose in the filled syringe are correct for the patient.
3. Using standard aseptic technique and following all guidelines of the hospital, attach the microbore extension set to
the filled syringe. Prime the syringe and microbore extension set. Expel all air making sure to eliminate all air
bubbles.
4. Move the pusher arm mechanism to the top of the device by squeezing the two black levers of the pusher arm
together and sliding the pusher arm upward.
5. Place the filled syringe into the syringe barrel clamp holder. The syringe barrel flange must be fully inserted in the
molded slot of the syringe barrel clamp holder.
6. Move the pusher arm mechanism down until it touches the syringe plunger. The syringe plunger should be flush
against the pusher arm mechanism.
7. Using standard aseptic technique and following all guidelines of the hospital, attach the distal end of the primed
microbore extension set to the infusion site.
8. Start the infusion by pressing the desired START/SPEED Key.
"Start Normal "Speed Key-the pusher arm mechanism travels at 5.48 in/hr.
"Start Slow "Speed Key- the pusher arm mechanism travels at 2.74 in/hr.
"Start XSlow "Speed Key-the pusher arm mechanism travels at 1.83 in/hr.
9. The Audio Alarm will automatically be activated (indicated by the green flashing LED on the alarm key) and will
sound at the end of infusion or at occlusion. Press the ALARM key to disable the Audio Alarm. The green LED will
be off if the Audio Alarm is disabled. The visual end of syringe/occlusion alarm (red flashing LED) cannot be
deactivated.
10. Red flashing LED will indicate the end of infusion. If the Audio Alarm was not disabled, a periodic beep tone will
sound. Press the OFF key to turn off the alarm and power to the device.
11. To stop the infusion at any time, press the OFF key.
12. The device may be attached to an IV pole with the pole clamp or on an IV pole hook by using the stainless steel
hanger on the top of the unit. The pole clamp is firmly attached to the unit by a tightened set screw on the side of
the pole clamp aluminum mounting bracket.

Visual /audible indicators and alarms

1. Flashing green LED above one of the three START/SPEED keys indicates the pump is operating at that
selected speed. To change the selected speed of operation,
a) press the OFF key to stop infusion
b) press the desired START/SPEED key to begin infusion
2. Flashing green LED on the Audio Alarm key indicates that the Audio Alarm is activated and will sound a
periodic beep tone at the end of infusion or occlusion. To disable the Audio Alarm, press the Audio Alarm
key. The flashing green LED on the Audio Alarm key will be off.
3. Flashing red LED (next to "Attention" on the keypad) indicates an end of infusion or occlusion. If the syringe
plunger is at the bottom of the syringe, the alarm indicates the end of infusion. Otherwise, the alarm indicates
an occlusion. It also flashes when the low battery light is activated.
4. Flashing orange LED (next to "Low Battery") and flashing red LED indicate the batteries have low power. If
the low battery light appears during an infusion, the infusion may safely be continued to completion. Prior to
starting a new infusion, replace all four batteries with new "C" cell alkaline batteries. The ESP will not start a
new infusion if the low battery LED light is flashing.
5. All Speed lights and Attention light flashing indicate unit accuracy has exceeded +/- 3% error. Check to see if
the pusher arm was prevented or restricted from movement. Correct the pusher arm obstruction and continue
the infusion or contact biomedical engineering if the alarm continues.

Occlusion correction procedure

1. Press the OFF key to turn off the Audio Alarm and flashing red LED.
2. Relieve the pressure by moving the Pusher arm toward the top of the unit away from the syringe plunger and/or
Using standard aseptic technique and following all guidelines of the hospital, disconnect the microbore
extension set at the infusion site to prevent an accidental bolus.
3. After clearing the occlusion, move the pusher arm mechanism down until it touches the syringe plunger. The
syringe plunger should be flush against the pusher arm mechanism.
4. Using standard aseptic technique and following all guidelines of the hospital, attach the distal end of the primed
microbore extension set to the infusion site.
5 Start the infusion by pressing the desired START/SPEED key. The Audio Alarm will automatically be activated
