07-19-B1-688 FLO-GARD 6201 VOLUMETRIC INFUSION PUMP SERVICE MANUAL 1-3
Introduction Safety Summary
Whenever the pump is in for service the battery’s capacity should be evaluated
because battery performance degrades through its life.
Ensure that the pump is powered off and unplugged from the AC receptacle before
performing maintenance procedures unless directed otherwise by the procedure
in this manual.
To avoid the possibility of electric shock, use caution when the power supply is
connected to the AC input during calibration. Power supply line input is energized
whenever the pump is connected to an AC outlet.
Shock hazard: Do not wear a grounded wrist strap while the pump is open and
connected to AC power.
The pins of the connectors should not be touched. The connectors should not
have objects inserted into them other than the mating connector. ESD
precautionary procedures should be used when inserting the mating connectors
into the connectors.
The power cord must be connected to a 100-120 VAC 50/60 Hz properly grounded
3-wire receptacle. Do not allow the use of three prong adapters because this may
not provide a reliable earth ground.
To avoid possible damage to the pump, make Nurse Call connections only as
outlined in “Nurse Call” on page 4-1.
Failure to power off the pump when finished with testing can result in battery
depletion and damage if the pump is operating on battery power, because a
Battery Low alarm will not occur when the pumps are in Configuration/Service
mode.
Follow the cleaning schedule and methods described in Chapter 6 to ensure
proper maintenance of the device.
Do not submerge the pump into liquids of any kind.
Do not clean, disinfect, or sterilize any part of the pump by autoclaving or with
ethylene oxide gas. Doing so may damage the pump and void the warranty. Only
external parts of the pump should be disinfected.
Do not use hard instruments for cleaning. Do not spray cleaners directly into any
openings or gaps in the pump housing.
Do not use the following chemicals on the pump, as they will damage the front
panel: acetoaldehyde, acetone, ammonia, benzene, hydroxytoluene, methylene
chloride, and ozone. Do not use cleaners containing n-alkyl dimethyl ethyl benzyl
ammonium chloride.
Work only at a properly installed electrostatic discharge (ESD) workstation. Wear
a grounding wrist strap, when not connected to AC power, while servicing the
pump.
Do not lay the pump face down on components or tools which could scratch or
damage the keypad. Do not lay the pump face down with door assembly open.
Ensure that wires are not pinched or overstressed.
