The provided document is a Service Manual for the MP-60 Infusion Pump manufactured by MEDCAPTAIN. This manual is intended for qualified service personnel and details the device's functionality, operational aspects, and comprehensive maintenance procedures.
Function Description
The MP-60 Infusion Pump is a medical device designed for the controlled delivery of fluids, medications, or nutrients into a patient's circulatory system. Its primary function is to ensure precise and accurate infusion rates, which is critical for patient safety and therapeutic efficacy in various clinical settings. The pump is capable of delivering fluids continuously over a set period, allowing healthcare professionals to manage patient hydration, administer drugs, and provide nutritional support with high reliability.
The device incorporates advanced software and hardware components to manage the infusion process. It features a user interface (UI) that allows for easy programming of infusion parameters such as flow rate, volume to be infused (VTBI), and total volume. The pump is equipped with various sensors and safety mechanisms to monitor the infusion process and detect potential issues. These include sensors for occlusion, air-in-line, and door open conditions, which trigger alarms to alert clinicians to critical events. This multi-layered safety system helps prevent over-infusion, under-infusion, and other complications that could harm the patient.
The MP-60 is designed to be versatile, accommodating different types of infusion sets and clinical protocols. Its ability to maintain a consistent and accurate flow rate is paramount, especially for medications that require strict dosage control. The pump's internal architecture supports both driver software, which manages the core mechanical and electronic functions, and UI software, which provides the interactive interface for users. This separation allows for robust operation and flexible updates.
Usage Features
The MP-60 Infusion Pump is designed with user-friendliness and safety as key priorities for healthcare professionals. Its appearance suggests a portable and robust design, suitable for various clinical environments, including hospitals, clinics, and potentially home care settings. The device features a clear display, likely an LCD or similar screen, that presents critical infusion information such as current flow rate, infused volume, and alarm status. This visual feedback is essential for clinicians to quickly assess the pump's operation.
The user interface includes intuitive controls, such as buttons for power on/off, start/stop, and navigation through menus. The presence of a "HOME" button suggests quick access to the main operational screen, simplifying workflow. The "CN-OFF" button likely refers to a power control, indicating ease of operation. The pump's design emphasizes ease of setup and programming, allowing medical staff to quickly initiate infusions.
Safety features are integrated throughout the device's operation. The pump is equipped with an alarm system that provides both visual and audible alerts for various conditions, including:
- Occlusion: Detection of a blockage in the infusion line, preventing fluid flow.
- Air-in-line: Detection of air bubbles in the infusion line, which can be dangerous if infused into the patient.
- Door open: Indication that the pump's door or mechanism for securing the infusion set is not properly closed.
- Battery low: Warning when the internal battery charge is insufficient, prompting connection to AC power.
- System errors: General device malfunctions that require attention.
These alarms are crucial for ensuring patient safety by prompting immediate intervention from healthcare providers. The pump's ability to operate on both AC power and an internal battery provides flexibility, allowing for continuous operation even during power outages or patient transport. The battery operation feature enhances mobility, making the pump suitable for use in ambulances or during inter-departmental transfers within a hospital.
The device's design likely includes features for easy loading and unloading of infusion sets, minimizing the risk of errors during setup. The overall operational philosophy is to provide a reliable, safe, and easy-to-use tool for administering intravenous fluids.
