Alaris™ GP (Guardrails™) Volumetric Pump
Infusion Specifications
BDDF00535 Issue 1
52/56
Air Sensor:
Integral Ultrasonic Sensor.
Air in line detection:
Single Bubble (configurable): 50µl, 100µl, 250µl & 500µl.
Bubble accumulation: 1ml over a 15 minute window.
Air in line detector accuracy is ±3%.
Critical Volume
The maximum volume infused following a single fault condition is for rates < 10ml/h: +/- 0.25 ml, rates < 100ml/h: +/- 0.5ml, rates
≥100ml/h: +/- 2 ml
The Alaris Safety Clamp
Set based, Pump activated Safety Clamp Device to prevent free flow
Notes
1a. Nominal conditions are defined as:
Set Rate: 1 to 1200 ml/h;
Recommended disposable: 60593;
Needle: 18 gauge x 40 mm;
Solution Type: De-ionized & Degassed Water;
Temperature: 23°C ± 2°C
Fluid Head Height: +300 ± 30 mm;
Back Pressure: 0 ± 10 mmHg.
1b. Low flow conditions are defined as:
Set Rate: less than 1.0ml/h
Recommended disposable: 60593;
Needle: 18 gauge x 40 mm;
Solution Type: De-ionized & Degassed Water;
Temperature: 23°C ± 2°C
Fluid Head Height: +300 ± 30 mm;
Back Pressure: 0 ± 10 mmHg.
2. The system accuracy will change by the following percentages:
3
Temperature: nominally -5.7 (±1.5)% at 5 °C and nominally +0.3 (±1.7)% at 40 °C
Fluid Head Height: nominally -3.4 (±1.3)% at -0.5 m and 0.0 (±1.1)% at +0.5 m
Duration: nominally -1.1 [±0.2] % over 24 hours of continuous use
Back Pressure: nominally +2.0 (±1.3)% at -100 mmHg, -13.4 (±1.8)% at +800 mmHg respectively
Atmospheric pressure: ± 5% at 25ml/h at 700hPa
3. Tested using Distilled water, 20% lipid, 50% glucose, 0.9% Normal Saline and 5% Alcohol solutions.
4. The occlusion pressure accuracy will change by the following:
Temperature: Low setting nominally 7 (±12) mmHg at 5 °C and -24 (±17) mmHg at 40 °C respectively
Normal setting nominally 4 (±16) mmHg at 5 °C and -41 (±18) mmHg at 40 °C respectively
High Pressure nominally 4 (±14) mmHg at 5 °C and -38 (±21)
mmHg at 40 °C respectively
