Getting Started
Introduction
This document provides directions for use for the SE Pump,
Models 7130/7131 and 7230/7231. It is used in conjunction
with:
Alaris® product administration set instructions
Drug product labeling
SE Pump Technical Service Manual
Ground test equipment instructions
ECG monitoring system instructions

WARNING
Read all instructions before using
the SE Pump.
CAUTION

The SE Pump is intended for use in professional healthcare
environments, including healthcare facilities, home care, and
medical transport, that utilize infusion pumps for the delivery of
fluids, medications, blood, and blood products. It is indicated
for continuous or intermittent delivery through clinically
acceptable routes of administration; such as, intravenous
(IV), intra-arterial (IA), subcutaneous, epidural, enteral, and
irrigation of fluid spaces.
The SE Pump is available as either a single or a dual channel
pump that supports the Guardrails® Suite MX. The SE Dual
Channel Pump is a two-channel device intended to deliver
multiple infusions to a single patient.
Guardrails® Suite MX for the SE Pump brings a new level
of medication error prevention to the point of patient care.
Guardrails® Suite MX features programming guidelines for
medication dosing, delivery rate, duration, bolus dose and
bolus dose administration rate, concentration and optional
initial programming values in up to 15 patient-specific care
areas referred to as profiles. Each profile contains a specific
Drug Library and an IV Fluid library as well as instrument
configurations appropriate for the care area. Optional drugspecific or fluid-specific clinical advisories provide visual
messages. Limits for each Guardrails® drug or fluid entry may
include Hard Limits that cannot be overridden during infusion
programming and/or Soft Limits that can be overridden, based
on clinical requirements.
A Data Set is developed and approved by the facility’s own
multi-disciplinary team using the Editor Software, the PCbased authoring tool. A Data Set is then transferred to the
SE Pump by qualified personnel. Approved Data Sets are
maintained by the Editor Software for future updates and
reference.

Introduction (Continued)
Information about a Guardrails® alert that occurs during use
is stored within the SE Pump, and can be accessed using the
CQI Reporter.
The SE Pump may be operated with or without the Guardrails®
Suite MX protection. When an approved Data Set is
transferred to the SE Pump by qualified personnel and the
Profiles feature is enabled (ON) in instrument configuration,
then Guardrails® Suite MX protection is available. When
the Profiles feature is not enabled (Off), or when no Data
Set has been transferred to the SE Pump, Guardrails® Suite
MX protection is not available (see "Primary Infusion – NO
Guardrails® Suite MX Protection", and "Secondary Infusion
- NO Guardrails® Suite MX Protection"). Programming and
navigation may differ when Guardrails® Suite MX software is
not in use.
Documentation provided with this product may reference
product not present in your facility or not yet available for sale
in your area.
A superscript number (for example, À) identifies additional
information provided as a note at the end of the section.

Unpacking
1.

Remove instrument from carton.

2.

Important: Plug instrument into an AC outlet a minimum
of 24 hours prior to use.
Maximum battery capacity, as well as gauge accuracy, is
reached after several charge/discharge/recharge cycles,
in the refresh process. Cardinal Health recommends that
the battery be fully charged/discharged/recharged, using
the refresh cycle, before placing the instrument in use.

3.

Perform Periodic Inspections (reference "Troubleshooting
and Maintenance", “Inspection Requirements”).

See "General Information", "Configurable Settings" for a list of
the configurable features.

AC

WARNING
Failure to properly charge the
battery results in an instrument
malfunction. Biomedical personnel
in the facility are responsible for
unpacking the instrument and
ensuring the battery is fully charged
before placing the instrument in use.

Check-In and Configuration
This is a quick reference procedure for check-in and
configuration of new and recently serviced instruments.

WARNING
Instruments returned from the
service depot may be set to
factory defaults and not have a
hospital-defined Data Set loaded.
Biomedical personnel in the facility
are responsible for checking-in the
instrument and ensuring the current
hospital-approved Data Set is
loaded.
CAUTION
Charge the battery for a minimum
of 24 hours prior to performing
the check-in and configuration
procedures. Batteries without
a full charge on initial use may
become damaged and/or cause a
malfunction.

Rate Accuracy Qualification Test
This procedure is to be used only for the testing of an
instrument during New Instrument Check-In or when just
received from the Service Depot Center. This test is to verify
that damage or changes to the instrument did not occur during
shipment and handling.
Rate accuracy should be tested using a Model 80VCS
Calibration Set. The system is designed to produce overall
accuracy of ±5% for rates greater than 1 mL/h and up to
999.9 mL/h, and ±6.5% for rates equal to or less than 1 mL/h,
95% of the time with 95% confidence (reference "General
Information", "Trumpet and Start-Up Curves" for additional
information). The system performance with a calibration
set produces a smaller variability. In order to ensure overall
accuracy is achieved, new instruments are tested to an
accuracy of ±3% with the Model 80VCS set during New
Instrument Check-In.
Due to the dynamic monitoring feature, the rate is varied during
operation. For this reason, automatic testers should not be
used to check rate accuracy. Generally, these devices collect
small samples and may cause the results to be incorrect, even
though the instrument is accurate.

Alternative Rate Accuracy Qualification Test
This procedure is to be used only for the testing of an
instrument during New Instrument Check-In or when just
received from the Service Depot Center. This test is to verify
that damage or changes to the instrument did not occur during
shipment and handling.
Make the following changes to Test Setup:
•
•

Burette and equipment stand have been replaced by digital
scale, Acculab Vic-212 or equivalent and 50 or 100 mL
flask (plastic or glass).
Three-way stopcock and used fluid receptacle are no
longer needed.

Due to the dynamic monitoring feature, the rate is varied
during operation. For this reason, Cardinal Health does not
recommend using automatic testers to check rate accuracy.
Generally, these devices collect small samples and may cause
the results to be incorrect, even though the instrument is
accurate.
Do not use the Model 80VCS set for more than 30 rate
verification runs (15 rate calibration number changes). Keep
track of the number of times the set is used by recording each
use on the 80VCS insert or on a separate record.
1.

Fill solution container with clean tap water. Close Flow
Regulator clamp on 80VCS Calibration Set and then insert
spike into solution container.

2.

Administration Set Information
General
The SE Pump uses a wide variety of Flow Regulator
administration sets. The sets dedicated for use with the SE
Pump are designed for use with the instruments as well as
for gravity-flow stand-alone use. The unique, patented Flow
Regulator has an integral flow control device that minimizes
the risk of unintended flow when the set is removed from the
instrument, and provides accurate rate control during gravity
administration.
•

For specific administration set instructions, reference
directions for use provided with set.

•

Use aseptic technique when handling sets and syringes.

•

Administration sets are supplied with a sterile and nonpyrogenic fluid path for one time use. Do not re-sterilize
or re-use.

•

For administration set replacement interval, refer to facility
protocol and/or government standards (such as: CDC
guidelines in the United States) and see "SmartSite®
Infusion Set" section of this Directions for Use (DFU).

•

Discard administration set per facility protocol.

•

For IV push medication (put instrument on hold), occlude
tubing above injection port during administration.

•

Flush port(s) per facility protocol.

•

Secondary Infusion - With Guardrails® Suite MX Protection
Introduction
This mode is designed to support automatic secondary
infusions (“piggybacking”) in the same channel. A secondary
infusion can be programmed as a Basic SEC or Guardrails
SEC drug. When the secondary VTBI reaches zero, an audio
tone sounds (if enabled), Secondary Complete message
displays briefly, and the primary infusion rate automatically
resumes.
When the instrument is programmed and delivering in the
secondary mode, the primary infusion is temporarily stopped
and fluid is drawn from the secondary container. Delivery
from the primary container resumes when the fluid level in the
secondary line is level with the fluid in the primary container.

WARNINGS
•

Secondary applications require
the use of a check valve set on
the primary IV line.

•

The secondary solution
container must be higher than
the primary solution container.

•

The secondary VTBI settings
require consideration of
variables; such as, factory
overfill, medication additions.
Underestimating the volume
causes the remaining secondary
solution to be infused at the
primary rate; overestimating
results in the primary solution
being infused at the secondary
rate. Multiple doses from a
single container are not possible.

•

The clamp on the secondary
administration set must be
opened. If the clamp is not
opened, the fluid is delivered
from the primary container.

•

The secondary administration
set must be primed prior
to beginning the secondary
infusion.

•

Ensure proper setup of
secondary systems to make sure
of proper flow.

Primary infusion must be on hold to program secondary
infusion.
A secondary infusion may be programmed only after a primary
IV Fluid (that supports secondary mode) or a primary Basic
Infusion has been programmed.
A list of IV Fluid entries is created in the Data Set that is
developed and approved by the facility’s own multidisciplinary
team using the Editor Software, the PC-based authoring tool.
Each entry is determined to be either appropriate to support
secondary infusions or not. The secondary key is unavailable
for selections that have been designated as inappropriate for
secondary delivery. Pressing the SEC key after programming
a fluid that does not support secondary infusions results in a
message, “Secondary not allowed with this fluid”.
The maximum rate for a secondary infusion is 600 mL/h.
For information regarding flow sensor use with secondary
infusions, see "General Information", "Flow Sensor".

Loading Dose
This feature allows an initial infusion rate to be set up for a
specific volume, automatically followed by a maintenance
rate (primary settings) from the same container. If delivering
a bolus dose of medication to load prior to the start of a
continuous infusion, see "Primary Infusion - With Guardrails®
Suite MX Protection", "Bolus Dose". The primary VTBI and
VI include the loading dose volumes. When the loading dose
VTBI reaches zero, a transition tone sounds (if transition tone
feature is enabled), Load Dose Complete message displays
briefly, and the primary settings automatically take effect.
Verify the primary mode parameters prior to accessing the
Loading Dose option.

WARNING
This mode is useful for delivering
fluid challenges. This feature is for
delivery from primary containers
only. Using this feature with 2
separate containers may result in
unintended flow rates.
CAUTION
Guardrails® drug dosing limits
are available only within the
New Guardrails Drug or New
Guardrails IV Fluids option.
Dosing limits do not apply when
using Loading Dose programming.
Profile configurable options, as
defined in the Data Set, do apply.

Multi-Dose
This feature allows 1 to 24 infusions to be preprogrammed with
the same rate and volume, to be delivered at equally spaced
intervals, over a period of up to 24 hours. It also offers a

Option. These features can be turned on or off.
This program requires another infusing line to keep the vein
open between programmed doses since there is no KVO
infusion between doses or following program completion.

Multi-Step
The Multi-Step feature allows a sequential drug delivery
program (up to 9 steps) to be set, delivering volumes of fluid
at different rates during each step. This allows the instrument
parameters to be set up once and to deliver a sequence
eliminating the need to change the rate and VTBI after each
infusion step.
The infusion may be programmed in either rate and volume or
volume and time. At completion of the last programmed step,
the channel switches to the preset KVO rate or remains at the
current rate, whichever is less.

CAUTION
Guardrails® drug dosing limits

Dynamic Monitoring System
All features and options in this section are shown enabled.
Options are enabled through the hospital Data Set profile
configuration settings, or through the instrument configuration
settings if the Profiles feature is not enabled (OFF).

WARNINGS
•

The SE Pump is designed to
stop fluid flow under alarm
conditions. Periodic patient
monitoring must be performed to
ensure the infusion is proceeding
as expected. It is a positive
displacement delivery system,
capable of developing positive
fluid pressures to overcome
widely varying resistances to
flow encountered in practice,
including resistances to flow
imposed by small gauge
catheters, filters and intra-arterial
infusion. It is neither designed
nor intended to detect infiltrations
and will not alarm under
infiltration conditions.

•

Before each use, verify the
pressure or resistance alarm
limits are appropriate for the
patient.

The Dynamic Monitoring System provides the ability to monitor
downstream pressure or resistance, allowing rapid detection of
full and partial occlusions. Resistance monitoring eliminates
the impact of patient elevation and flow rate to provide the
most direct assessment of patency. Components of this
system are:
•

Monitoring Options: to select IV line/site monitoring
modes of resistance, high resistance, and adjustable or
fixed pressure.

•

Auto Restart Plus Feature: allows instrument to
automatically resume operation when specific instrument
operating conditions are met.

•

Adjustable Resistance Alert: to provide an early
warning of increases in downstream flow resistance.

•

Adjustable Pressure Alarm: to provide an early warning
of increases in downstream pressure.

•

Trend Graph: to display downstream pressure or flow
resistance over time.

•

Pressure Baseline: to provide a starting point from which
to measure changes in system pressure.

Monitoring Options - General
IV lines, catheters, and applications create various levels of
resistance to flow. Monitoring mode options are available to
meet each clinical need.
•

Resistance: designed to monitor IV line/site resistance
providing optimum sensitivity for most IV applications.

•

High Resistance: designed to monitor IV line/site
resistance with optimum sensitivity where higher resistance
catheters are used.

Adjustable Pressure Alarm
Pressure Monitoring Using Automatic
Baseline Calibration
The auto pressure baseline calibration remains in effect until
the instrument is turned off, the latch is opened, the set is
reloaded, or the Set Pressure Baseline function is performed.
•

First activation of RUN/HOLD for a new infusion
automatically establishes a pressure baseline based
on current system pressure. An optimal baseline is
maintained upon subsequent activations of RUN/HOLD, as
follows:
-

If current system pressure is same or higher than
original baseline, pressure baseline does not change.

-

If current system pressure is less than original baseline,
system automatically resets to new system pressure
value.

•

Pressure measurement can be optimized, particularly
at low flow rates (less than 3 mL/h), by pausing and
restarting at least once every 2 hours (for example, when
reprogramming VTBI). This allows pressure baseline to
calibrate based on current system pressure.

•

Prior to activation, ensure that pressure has not built
up in IV line due to either occlusion or flow from other
instruments through a common catheter. This will result in
a more accurate pressure measurement.

•

When loading a set connected to a small diameter catheter,
wait at least 5 seconds after loading set before activating
RUN/HOLD. This allows pressure generated by loading
process to dissipate and sensor to stabilize. (Very small
PICC catheters; such as, 28 gauge/1.2 French, may require
60 seconds or more for stabilization.)

•

When multiple instruments are infusing through a common
small diameter catheter, pressure measurement accuracy
can be optimized by temporarily stopping all infusions,
then restarting all instruments beginning with instrument
delivering at lowest rate.

Pressure Baseline
The Pressure Baseline feature, when enabled through the
hospital Data Set profile configuration settings, provides a realtime bar graph and numeric display of line pressure.
The pressure limit may be reduced if the pressure in the line
is high or changing. This results in the pressure limit being
lowered from the selected setting. If this occurs, first try to
remove or reduce the downstream pressure. Following that,
try to reload the set, wait 15 to 30 seconds and then perform a
Set Pressure Baseline operation. The pressure baseline may
need to be set a second time, after the pressure readings have
stabilized.

Manually Setting Pressure Baseline
While Operating in Adjustable Pressure
Mode
For dual channel instruments, select the desired channel as
necessary. The pressure bar graph is not shown when the
split screen display is active.
For optimal results, set the baseline 15 minutes after starting
an infusion. The pressure baseline can be optimized,
particularly at low flow rates (less than 3 mL/h), by resetting
the pressure baseline when the readings are negative.
Check periodically for negative readings; for example, when
programming VTBI. This allows the pressure baseline to
calibrate based on current system pressure.

Upstream Occlusions Detection
If the flow pathway between the fluid container and the
Pressure Sensor is obstructed due to kinked tubing, a closed
clamp or an improperly installed set, then an OCCLUSION
UPSTREAM condition exists.
Depending on where the upstream path is occluded, flow
may continue for a fraction of a mL before the OCCLUSION
UPSTREAM alarm is produced. At high infusion rates, the
instrument takes relatively little time to alarm. At low infusion
rates, a longer time elapses before the instrument detects the
condition and alarms. In either case, some flow continues
from the instrument during the time prior to the alarm, due to
the elastic behavior of the tubing between the occlusion site
and the pumping mechanism.
If an OCCLUSION UPSTREAM alarm occurs, investigate and
remedy the cause. Ensure that the upstream flow path (such
as tubing) is free of obstructions, that any clamp is open and
that the blue thumb clamp on the Flow Regulator is in the open
(up) position before resuming the infusion.

• Audio alarm sounds and infusion stops.
• In certain conditions, upstream alarm system may briefly

Warnings and Cautions
DANGER
Explosion risk if used in the presence of flammable anesthetic
agents or gases.

General
WARNINGS
•

The SE Pump is designed to stop fluid flow under
alarm conditions. Periodic patient monitoring must
be performed to ensure the infusion is proceeding as
expected. It is a positive displacement delivery system,
capable of developing positive fluid pressures to overcome
widely varying resistances to flow encountered in practice,
including resistances to flow imposed by small gauge
catheters, filters and intra-arterial infusion. It is neither
designed nor intended to detect infiltrations and will not
alarm under infiltration conditions.

•

The use of positive displacement infusion devices ported
together with gravity flow infusion systems into a
common IV site may impede the flow of common gravityonly systems, affecting their performance. Hospital/facility
personnel must ensure the performance of the common IV
site is satisfactory under these circumstances.

•

Each time the SE Pump is turned on, verify and/or set
the monitoring mode, resistance alert, and/or pressure
alarm limit. If the monitoring mode, resistance alert,
and/or pressure alarm limit are not verified, the instrument
may not operate within the desired occlusion detection
parameter(s).

•

Before each use, verify the pressure or resistance
alarm limits are appropriate for the patient.

•

A new alarm or alert reinstates the audio tone.

•

Assess patient’s condition before silencing an alarm. Do
not silence alarm if patient safety might be compromised.

•

Disconnect from main (AC) and battery power when
performing maintenance.

•

To disconnect from main (AC), unplug the power cord
from the back of the instrument.

CAUTIONS
•

The SE pump is intended for use under the supervision of
healthcare professionals only. This is a CISPR 11 Class B
device without the use of the Model 180 (Flow Sensor) and
CISPR 11 Class A when the Model 180 (Flow Sensor) is
used. In a domestic environment, this system may cause
radio interference. Reorienting, relocating or shielding
the system, or filtering the connection to the public mains
network, are examples of steps that can be taken to reduce
or eliminate interference.

Battery Management System
The Battery Management System incorporates features which
enhance battery maintenance in order to maximize the life of
the battery, reduce associated costs and increase instrument
availability. The system provides:
•

Green

: lights when instrument is plugged in.

•

Amber
power.

Battery Power Gauge and Indicator
The gauge indicates approximate battery run time remaining
under current operating conditions. It is located in the
lower display and is always on. To ensure a more accurate
battery gauge reading, review the remaining battery run time
5 minutes after starting an infusion.

GOLD

Battery run time may be affected by the operating mode, rate,
monitoring options and back pressure. The gauge accuracy is
based on the last refresh cycle and is affected by the number
of charge/discharge/recharge cycles. The instrument label
and battery gauge are always displayed, even when the
instrument is turned off; however, the battery gauge does not
represent the battery time remaining when the instrument is
turned off.
Battery Recharge
The battery recharges whenever the instrument is plugged
into an AC outlet. The battery can be replaced when charging
capacity gets too low.
All batteries gradually lose their capacity to hold a charge
over time and use. To maintain optimal battery performance,
ensure the instrument is connected to AC power whenever
possible, including when it is powered off or stored.
Following certain battery depleted conditions it is necessary
to reset the internal clock so the CQI Reporter data integrity
is maintained (see "Programming", "Programming and
Navigation Tips", "Responding to Time Set Reminder".

Flow Sensor À
The optional flow sensor notifies users of empty containers
and/or upstream occlusions. A handle cap accessory is
available for storing the flow sensor when not in use.
The flow sensor is not used for the first 25 mL delivered when
changing from secondary to primary. This is to account for
overfill of secondary containers.

Flow Sensor Connectors

When using flow sensor, correct placement is essential
for proper operation. Some administration set drip
chambers have a flange at top to which flow sensor
can be attached. Attachment on flange ensures
proper placement.
Upper surface of flow sensor should be slightly below
drop-forming orifice but above level of fluid in drip
chamber.
Ensure drip chamber is at least 2/3 full and sensor
optics are clean. Fluid level in drip chamber must be
checked/re–established after each empty container
condition
When using flow sensor option while ambulating
or transporting a patient from one area to another,
use care to avoid excessive swinging of solution
container(s).

CAUTION
Infusing fluids which form smaller
drops, through a 60 drops/mL set,
at high rates may result in a No
Upstream Flow Detected alarm.
This is because the small, rapidly
falling drops form a continuous
stream which does not trigger the
flow sensor. In this event, unplug the
flow sensor from the instrument.

Attach flow sensor to instrument handle when not in use.

Air in Line:
Air in Line Threshold (microliters)

Sets upper limit for a single bolus of air to pass without alarm.
In other words, it is amount of air allowed to pass through airin-line detector before an air-in-line alarm sounds. One of 4
different air-in-line detection settings can be selected: 50, 100,
200, 500 mcL.

AIL Accumulatorr

Detects presence of multiple air bubbles that are too small to
be detected by single bolus AIL detection limit. Accumulator
feature, when enabled, looks for 10-15% of downstream fluid
path to be air before giving an ACCUMULATED AIR IN LINE
alarm. Volume of air that trips accumulated air detection alarm
varies based on current setting for single air bolus.

AIL Reset

Allows clinician to respond to an air-in-line alarm, assess its
clinical significance, and choose whether or not to continue
infusion without removing air. Reset feature allows only current
bubble to proceed without tripping alarm.

Audio:
Transition Tone
(Secondary to Primary)

Provides an audible tone when secondary VTBI reaches zero, to indicate
infusion has transitioned to primary rate.

Volume

Provides clinician with ability to adjust audio volume for alarms, alerts
and KVO tone to either High, Medium, or Low if all audio volume levels
are enabled. Audio volume indicator in lower LCD display indicates audio
volume selected. Instrument can be configured to enable only Medium
and High, or only High audio volume levels if desired.

Dynamic Monitoring:
Auto Restart Plus

Part of the Dynamic Monitoring system and designed to help minimize
nuisance “occlusion downstream” alarms. It allows instrument to
automatically continue an infusion following detection of a downstream
occlusion if downstream pressure falls to an acceptable level within a 40second Checking Line period. May be set to off (0 restarts) or to allow from
1 – 9 Checking Line restarts. If allowable number of restarts is exceeded, or
when resistance or pressure conditions indicate an occlusion, an occlusion
downstream alarm occurs.

Monitoring Options

Dynamic monitoring provides clinician ability to select one of following
monitoring modes: Resistance mode, High Resistance mode or Pressure
mode. All of these modes offer an optional Auto-Restart Plus feature and
optional trend graph display.

Trends

Provides ability to display downstream pressure or flow resistance over time.
Trend graphs of 15 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours and 12 hours are available during
normal operation. When Trends is enabled, if instrument is operating in
pressure mode, a pressure trend graph is available, and when it is operating
in resistance mode, a resistance trend graph is available.

Dynamic Monitoring - Pressure:
Adjustable pressure is designed to monitor IV line/site pressure and provide user-adjustable pressure
alarm limits. It is used for Precision Flow mode or for high resistance systems; such as, infusion
through transducers, into dialysis systems and through highest resistance catheters. Pressure mode
may be configured to operate with a fixed pressure alarm limit threshold so that it is not user-adjustable.
Manual Pressure Baseline

Provides a real-time bar graph and numeric display of line pressure.

Pressure Alarm

When Pressure Display is enabled, Pressure Alarm may be set to
Adjustable Pressure mode or Fixed Pressure mode.

Pressure Display

In Adjustable Pressure monitoring mode, pressure alarm limit may
be varied by from 25 mmHg to maximum configured pressure limit in
25 mmHg increments. Pressure Display indicates current pressure
limit and provides ability to adjust limit by pressing “increase” or
“decrease” arrows.
In Fixed Pressure mode, pressure limit of 600 mmHg displays,
with no means of adjusting it. When Pressure Display is disabled,
instrument automatically defaults to Fixed Pressure mode.

Dynamic Monitoring - Pressure:
(Continued)
Pressure Limit, Initial

This is default pressure alarm limit that is automatically set when
instrument is powered on and a new profile is selected or New
Patient? - Yes is selected. Alarm level must be less than or equal to
maximum pressure limit.

Pressure Limit, Maximum

In Adjustable Pressure monitoring mode, pressure alarm limit may be
varied by from 25 mmHg to this maximum configured pressure limit in
25 mmHg increments. A value that exceeds this pressure limit cannot
be selected.

Dynamic Monitoring - Resistance:
Resistance Monitoring eliminates the impact of patient elevation and flow rate, to provide the most direct
assessment of patency. It is designed to monitor IV line/site resistance providing optimum sensitivity
for most IV applications. High Resistance is designed to monitor IV line/site resistance with optimum
sensitivity where higher resistance catheters are used.
Default Resistance Alert

Default resistance alert level that is automatically set when instrument
is powered on and a new profile is selected or New Patient? - Yes is
selected. Resistance Alert Marker can be adjusted up or down from
this default setting, as needed.

Resistance Alert

Provides an early warning of increasing flow resistance. When
enabled, Resistance Alert marker can be set by from 0% to 100% of
scale in 5% increments (Resistance Display must also be enabled).
To optimize alert feature, it is advisable to set alert level 20-30%
higher than initial displayed resistance, which should be read
approximately 2 minutes after starting an infusion.

Resistance Display

When enabled provides a bar graph on Main Display to indicate
current % resistance on a scale of 0 – 100%. When disabled,
resistance alert feature is unavailable.

Resistance Pressure Setting

Provides an “Occlusion Downstream” alarm when measured pressure
reaches Resistance Pressure limit while operating in Resistance
Mode. This threshold may be set from 1 to 600 mmHg in 1 mmHg
increments. In other words, while operating in Resistance mode or
High Resistance mode, an “Occlusion Downstream” condition can be
detected in 2 ways; measured resistance reaches 100% of scale or
configured Resistance Pressure Setting is exceeded.

KVO Rate
KVO (keep vein open) mode automatically occurs when primary VTBI has
counted down to 0.0 mL. Channel switches to preset KVO rate or remains at
current rate, whichever is less. KVO rate may be set to a value between 0.1 and
20 mL/h in 0.1 mL/h increments. KVO rate is not adjustable by the clinician.

Optional Modes:
Optional modes include Loading Dose, Dose Rate Calculator, Multi-Step, and Multi-Dose. Each of
these can be either enabled or disabled. When disabled, they will not appear on the Options menu and
cannot be accessed by the clinician.
Dose Rate Calculator

Allows clinician to enter either flow rate or drug dose rate for a continuous
infusion. System then calculates alternate parameter based on drug
concentration and weight if used.
For an intermittent infusion, system calculates total dose based on drug
amount and patient weight (kg) or BSA (m2) if used. Next, clinician enters
either volume and time to calculate rate, or rate and volume to calculate
time.
Dose rate calculator must be enabled in order to access Bolus Dose feature
and Drug Library.

Loading Dose

Allows clinician to set up an initial infusion rate for a specific volume, to
be followed automatically by a maintenance rate (primary settings) from
same container. This is useful for delivering fluid challenges. Limits do
not apply when using Loading Dose feature. To deliver a loading dose of a
medication selected from Drug Library, Bolus Dose feature may be used.

Multi-Dose

Allows 1 - 24 doses to be programmed at equally spaced intervals on same
instrument over a 24-hour period. This mode allows delivery of multiple,
equal doses from same IV container at regularly scheduled intervals. Limits
do not apply when using Multi-Dose feature. Within this mode, a delayed
start option allows instrument to be programmed to delay infusion start for
up to 8 hours.

Multi-Dose Alert

When enabled, this feature alerts clinician of completion of each dose
delivered during a Multi-Dose program.

Trumpet and Start-Up Curves
DESCRIPTION AND EXPLANATION OF TRUMPET
AND START-UP CURVES

In this instrument, as with all infusion systems,
the action of the pumping mechanism and
variations in individual administration sets cause
short-term fluctuations in rate accuracy. The
following graphs show typical performance of the
system for both Pressure and Resistance modes
in two ways:
•

•

Accuracy during various time periods over
which fluid delivery is measured (trumpet
curves).
Delay in onset of fluid flow when infusion
commences (start-up curves).

Product operation is not affected by the selection
of Resistance or High Resistance at 0.1, 1.0, and
25 mL/h; therefore, High Resistance graphs are
not included.
Trumpet curves are named for their characteristic
shape. They display discrete accuracy data
averaged over particular time periods or
“observation windows”, not continuous data
versus operating time. Over long observation
windows, short-term fluctuations have little
effect on accuracy, as represented by the flat
part of the curve. As the observation window is
reduced, short-term fluctuations have greater
effect, as represented by the “mouth” of the
trumpet. Knowledge of system accuracy over
various observation windows may be of interest
when certain drugs are being administered.
Because the clinical impact of short-term
fluctuations on rate accuracy depends on the
half-life of the drug being infused and on the
degree of intravascular integration, the clinical
effect cannot be determined from the trumpet
curves alone. Knowledge of the start-up
characteristics should also be considered.
The start-up curves represent continuous flow
rate versus operating time for two hours from the
start of the infusion. They exhibit the delay in
onset of delivery due to mechanical compliance

and provide a visual representation of uniformity.
Trumpet curves are derived from the second
hour of this data.
FLOW CHARACTERISTICS UNDER VARYING
DELIVERY CONDITIONS

Effects of Pressure Variations
Under conditions of +100 mmHg pressure, the
SE Pump typically exhibits a long-term accuracy
offset of approximately -1.4% from mean values.
Under conditions of +300 mmHg pressure, the
SE Pump typically exhibits a long-term accuracy
offset of approximately -1.5% from mean values.
Under conditions of -100 mmHg pressure, the
SE Pump typically exhibits a long-term accuracy
offset of approximately -0.8% from mean values.
Resulting trumpet observation points typically
track those of accuracy; therefore, no significant
change in short–term variations result under
these pressure conditions.
Effects of Negative Solution Container Heights
With a negative head height of -0.5 meters, the
SE Pump typically exhibits a long–term accuracy
offset of approximately -5.8% from mean values.
Resulting trumpet observation points typically
track those of accuracy; therefore, no significant
change in short–term variations result under
negative head height conditions.
Effects of Rate
For applications where flow uniformity is a
concern, use of the Pressure Mode at rates of
1.0 mL/h or above is recommended.
NOTE: Tests conducted in accordance with
IEC 60601–2–24, “Particular requirements for
safety of infusion pumps and controllers” and
AAMI ID26–1998 “Medical electrical equipment
- Part 2: Particular requirements for the safety
of infusion pumps and controllers”, using a
Model 72003 Administration Set (includes Flow
Regulator).

Troubleshooting and Maintenance
General
The SE Pump Technical Service Manual is available from
Cardinal Health. It includes routine service schedules,
interconnect diagrams, component parts lists and descriptions,
test procedures, and other technical information, to assist
qualified service personnel in repair and maintenance of the
instrument’s repairable components. Maintenance procedures
are intended to be performed only by qualified personnel.
Artifacts: It is normal for an infusion device to produce
nonhazardous currents when infusing electrolytes. These
currents vary proportional to the infusion device flow rate.
When an ECG monitoring system is not functioning under
optimal conditions, these currents may appear as artifacts,
simulating actual ECG readings. To determine if ECG
abnormalities are caused by patient condition or the ECG
equipment, place the infusion device on hold. If the ECG
readings become normal, the ECG equipment requires
attention. Proper setup of the ECG equipment should
eliminate these artifacts. Reference the appropriate ECG
monitoring system documentation for instructions on setup and
maintenance.

Air In Line Assembly
The Air-in-Line Detection System provides clinicians the
ability to detect inappropriate amounts of air in the IV line.
The instrument is configurable to allow single bubble and
accumulated air detection. Accumulated air detection is based
on measurement of the average percentage produced by small
air bubbles passing the detector. À
Air is detected by an emitter (Air-in-Line arm) which rotates
into position as the latch is closed. A receiver (Air-in-Line
Detector), opposite the arm and just below the Pumping
Mechanism, sends the Air-in-Line information to the main
processor.
Qualified biomedical personnel may configure 1 of 4 possible
sensitivity levels. The instrument is also configurable to
permit the operator to clear (reset) any air registered in the
Air-in Line Arm
instrument’s memory.

Á Performed at the minimum and maximum rated input voltage.
 U T is the AC mains voltage prior to application of the test level.
à At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
Ä These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption
and reflection from structures, objects and people.
Å The compliance levels in the ISM frequency bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz, and in the frequency
range 80 MHz - 2.5 GHz, are intended to decrease the likelihood that mobile/portable communications
equipment could cause interference if inadvertently brought into patient areas. For this reason, an
additional factor of 10 /3 is used in calculating the recommended separation distance for transmitters in
these frequency ranges.
Æ Field strengths from fixed transmitters [such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and
mobile radios, amateur radio, AM / FM radio broadcast, TV broadcast] cannot be predicted theoretically with
accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site
survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the SE Pump is used
exceeds the applicable RF compliance level, the SE Pump should be observed to verify normal operation.
If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or
relocating the SE Pump.
Ç Over the frequency range 150 kHz - 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than [V ] V/m.
