messages and how to resolve them). The audio alarm also beeps and the LEDs blink
whenever an alarm or error code occurs. In the event of an error code, user directions will be
displayed on the screen, most often, this will require turning the pump off and back on again.
Using “Help”
Help screens are available for data entry/selection screens, during “action field” screens, and at
the “infusion complete” screen. To access help, press the “HELP” key. Use the arrow keys to
scroll through the help message, and then press the “HELP” key again to exit help. When a
help screen is displayed and there is more text to read which is not currently on the screen, a small
up (
▲) or down (▼) arrow indicator will appear to let you know you can scroll up or down to
read the complete help message.
Starting the Pump
Start the pump by pushing the blue “ON” key. The following screen displays:
Welcome Screen
The above “Welcome” screen gives the date, time, and a message that the pump is performing a
self-diagnostic test. If the numbers on the date field are displayed as zeros, the system clock will
need to be set using the BIOMED Set Up. (See “BIOMED SETUP” section.) The display also
lists the software revision number for this pump.
During this test, you will hear three beeps as each of the LED indicators blink. If any one of the
green, yellow, or red LED lights fails to light or to blink, return the pump for service. If the self-
test fails, the alarm will sound, and a new screen will appear stating: “ERROR CODE:#” or
“SYSTEM ERR:#” (See “Troubleshooting” chapter for a list of error notices and how to resolve
them). The error notice will include a numeric code. At any error notice, the only user option is
to turn the pump OFF.
If, at any time, there is indication of pump damage, error code, or
messages requiring the pump to be turned off, call the healthcare
agency or facility as directed to report the condition.
Note: If an error notice appears, turn the pump off and back on again
. If the pump passes its
start-up diagnostics tests, you can safely resume the therapy. If the error notice recurs,
however, turn the pump off and notify the healthcare agency responsible for monitoring
the pump. Some error notices may reset the pump back to it’s default settings and
therefore will require reprogramming.
