CHAPTER 3 - INITIAL INSPECTION
3.1 GENERAL
This chapter contains the information necessary to perform an initial inspection and set up
of the pump. A functional test is included in Chapter 4 to determine if operation is
satisfactory.
3.2 INITIAL INSPECTION AND DAMAGE CHECK
The pump has been thoroughly tested and inspected at the factory prior to shipment and
has been found to comply to Baxter’s electrical and mechanical standards. The pump has
also been designed to reliably withstand normal shipment and usage conditions. However,
abusive handling during shipment may cause either visible or hidden damage. Follow the
instructions in this section before performing operational checks.
If any damage is observed in any of the following inspections, and this damage is related to
shipping, notify the carrier’s agent immediately. Do not return the damaged equipment to
the factory without authorization.
3.3 INSPECTIONS
1. Carefully inspect the shipping carton. Note any obvious damage caused
by mishandling and record any such damage.
2. The carton should contain the following:
• One Auto Syringe® AS50 Infusion Pump (Catalog Code # 1M8550)
• One Operator’s Manual
• One IV Pole Clamp
• One Charger
3. Remove the pump from the carton and the shipping bag. Place the pump on a flat
surface and perform these visual inspections:
A. Check the entire surface for chips, scratches, dents, or cracks.
B. Check the front keypad panel for damage.
C. Verify that the serial number matches that on the shipping carton.
