Overview
This chapter describes how to program bolus deliveries and select program options for a therapy.
Bolus
Use Bolus to program a delivery from a primary or secondary container. Only medications
designated by facility may be delivered by bolus. Bolus is only available with Basic and Multistep
therapies.
Note: In Bolus from a primary container is confirmed without an underlying primary therapy
confirmed, a primary therapy cannot be entered until the Bolus delivery is complete.
If primary container is selected, the VTBI delivered is subtracted from the underlying primary
therapy (Basic) VTBI.
Note: Bolus may not be selected if a Piggback or Advanced therapy has been entered.
To program a Bolus:
1. Press Bolus to display the Bolus Setup screen.
Figure 128: Bolus Setup Screens
2. Press Select infusion field to select medication and concentration (if necessary).
3. Press Deliver From and select Primary Container (if available) or Secondary Container.

Chapter 10: Alarm and System Messages
Alarm
There are three types of alarms: invalid keypress, operational and malfunction.
• Invalid Keypress—an alert tone that sounds when an invalid entry is touched; for example,
a double keypress.
•Operational alarms—active based on program options selection or when other delivery
issues occur.
•Malfunction alarms—activate when mechanical or software issues occur that require the
infuser be removed from service and examined by authorized service personnel (Biomed).
Operational alarm conditions are defined as low, medium, and high urgencies. All Malfunction
alarms are high urgency.
If an alarm occurs in Delivery mode, or if a malfunction occurs, the Nurse Call relay activates to
notify clinicians at remote locations (e.g., centralized nurse stations) of an alarm condition.
During an active alarm, an alarm tab displays on the screen until the alarm is resolved and/or
cleared. Malfunction alarms remain active until the infuser is powered off. Pressing the alarm tab
displays additional information for assistance in resolving the alarm.
For more information on alarm messages, causes, and remedies, see “Appendix B: Alarm
Messages and Troubleshooting” on page 171.
Alarm Urgency
The SYMBIQ™ Infusion System has four distinct levels of alarms outlined in Table 10. Each
alarm level includes an alarm message, a distinct audible tone, and a detailed troubleshooting tab.
The troubleshooting tab contains a full description of the alarm condition and suggested remedies
or checklists to assist in resolving the root cause of the alarm. Multiple, simultaneous alarms
display in order from highest to lowest priority. During an alarm, the channel LEDs and bag icons
take on the alarm’s color treatment and flashing behavior.

System Messages
System messages provide feedback about infuser status when powered on and when input
requires confirmation. System messages also provide feedback when programming a therapy. For
example, violating either a hospital defined rule set or a field range activates a system message
alerting you to the problem.
The Invalid Key Press tone sounds whenever a system message activates. Until acknowledged,
system messages display while the infuser operates in violation of a defined rule set or field range
limit.
Types of system messages include:
• Information or decision point messages
• Outside of Soft Limits
• Outside of Hard Limits
• Invalid Entry
For more information on system messages, causes, and remedies, see “Appendix A: System

ID. The Patient Information button only displays patient information if configured to do so in the
selected CCA.
Clinical Care Areas
Using Hospira MedNet® Service Suite (MMS), your hospital or institution can define up to 40
different CCAs. Each CCA can have up to 400 medications to choose from including “Other
Drug.”
Note: Selection of a CCA is required. All other fields are optional.
When you select a CCA, the infuser uses that CCA’s configuration and medication definition
settings for all subsequent therapies until a different CCA is selected. When CCAs have been
downloaded to the infuser, you must either confirm the current CCA or select a new one each time
the infuser is powered on.

Default Drug Library
The SYMBIQ™ Infusion System has a factory-installed Default Drug Library (DDL) used to
program therapies. The DDL is set up as a single CCA drug library and uses the defined CCA
defaults for all medication settings. To help differentiate sound-alike or look-alike medication
names, the DDL uses TALL-man lettering (Figure 152).
Figure 152: Infusion Field Drop-Down List with DDL Medication Names
The DDL is active and available for use until a new drug library is downloaded to the infuser
using Hospira MedNet® Service Suite (MMS). Once a new drug library is successfully
downloaded, it replaces the DDL as the active drug library.
Medications in the DDL have neither hard limits nor soft limits. Hard limits and soft limits are
specified by each facility using Hospira MedNet® Service Suite (MMS). For a list of medications
available in the DDL, see “Appendix E: Default Drug Library (DDL)” on page 187.

Using the Hospira MedNet® Service Suite (MMS)
The Hospira MedNet® Service Suite (MMS) assists with the reduction of medication errors by
associating a hospital's predefined dosing limits, both soft and hard limits with each medication.
A value—programmed outside the rule sets determined by a facility—triggers an Outside Limits
message along with a visual graph indicting the predefined values for the selected medication.
Rule sets are applied to medications found in all Therapy listings; Program, Piggyback, Advance
and Bolus.
To ensure the predefined dosing limits are meeting clinical requirements, the SYMBIQ™ Infuser
records the programmed information in the Event Log and Rule Set Override log. Up to 1000
events are stored allowing for continuous monitoring of dosing parameters, availability of
medications, and to service as a clinical education tool.
The Soft Outside of Limits message notifies the user when a selected medication value is outside
the predefined Soft Limit value. (See Figure 136 on page 132.) The user can reprogram or accept
the limit.

Chapter 12: Cleaning, Maintenance, and Storage Battery Maintenance
Cleaning Cautions
Avoid damaging the SYMBIQ™ Infusion System by following these cleaning cautions:
CAUTION: To avoid mechanical or electronic damage, DO NOT immerse the
SYMBIQ™ Infusion System in fluids or cleaning solutions. DO NOT
spray cleaning solutions in or near infuser openings. DO NOT allow
cleaning solutions to saturate the air-in-line detectors or enter the
infuser when cleaning the air-in-line detectors.
USE ONLY the recommended cleaning solutions and follow the
manufacturer’s recommendations. Using cleaning solutions not
recommended by Hospira may result in product damage. The
disinfecting properties of cleaning solutions vary; consult the
manufacturer for specific information.
DO NOT use compounds containing combinations of isopropyl
alcohol and dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride.
NEVER use sharp objects such as fingernails, paper clips, or needles
to clean any part of the infuser.
DO NOT sterilize by heat, steam, ethylene oxide (ETO), or radiation.
Battery Maintenance
CAUTION: Before connecting a patient to the infuser, ensure the infuser has a
fully charged battery installed for continuous infuser operation.
The SYMBIQ™ Infusion System is designed to use battery power for emergency backup and
temporary portable operation. A one-channel infuser with a fully charged battery provides at least
four hours of operation at 100 ml/hr with the LCD backlighting set to Power Saving mode.
The battery recharges whenever the infuser is connected to AC (mains) power. With the infuser
powered off and connected to an AC power source, the battery takes four hours to recharge. Bat-
tery recharge takes longer if the infuser is powered on. In general, the more often the battery is
partially discharged and then recharged, the sooner it will need to be replaced. Consult a qualified
biomedical technician for battery replacement if necessary.
Note: Disconnect AC power line prior to opening unit or changing battery.
To maintain maximum battery charge and to prolong battery life, connect the infuser to AC
(mains) power whenever possible.
Battery Disposal
Do not discard the infuser’s used lithium ion battery pack with regular trash. Instead, dispose of it
in an environmentally sound and approved manner. Contact your local waste management
Storage Chapter 12: Cleaning, Maintenance, and Storage
SYMBIQ™ Infusion System Operating Manual 430-10599-001 (MDS DRAFT 04/06) 153
company for information on environmentally sound ways of collecting, disposing, and recycling
used batteries.
Storage
To prolong the life of the SYMBIQ™ Infusion System, take the following storage precautions:
• Store away from excessive heat (more than 60º C), cold (less than -20º C), and humidity
(outside 10% to 90% range)
• Store connected to AC (mains) power
Infuser Maintenance and Service
All maintenance, service, or adjustments to the SYMBIQ™ Infusion System should be referred to
qualified technical personnel. A technical service manual may be ordered from your local Hospira
sales representative.
Product Handling and Disposal
Do not discard the infuser’s administration set with regular trash. Instead, follow hospital
procedures for disposing and handling of infuser’s administration set.
Please comply with local disposal and recycling regulations as appropriate for disposable
batteries, rechargeable battery packs, medical electronic components and infusion sets.

Chapter 13: Product Specifications Flow Rate Accuracy
Flow Rate Accuracy
Flow rate accuracy represents the infuser’s fluid delivery performance under these conditions:
The flow rate accuracy of the SYMBIQ™ Infusion System is + 5% for all rates greater than 1.0
mL/hr with 95% confidence. For rates less than or equal to 1.0 mL/hr, the flow rate accuracy is +
10% with 95% confidence.
WARNING: Rate accuracy can be affected by variations of fluid viscosity, fluid
temperature, head height, back pressure or any combination of
these. Additional factors that can have an influence are
administration set configuration and use duration.
Flow Continuity
At low flow rates (between 0.1 and 1.0 mL/hr) with microbore tubing, the no-flow period does not
exceed 20 seconds and the bolus volume released does not exceed 2 microliters.
Trumpet Curves
Trumpet curve graphs show representative maximum and minimum percent flow rate deviation
from the programmed rate over time. This information was developed in accordance with IEC
60601-2-24: 1998, Sub-Clause 50.102. Refer to this standard for detailed information.
Trumpet curve graphs plot flow rates at 30 second intervals for the first 2 hours and for the 96th
hour of delivery. The graphs plot the mean delivery rate error (average of 3 infusers) for the 2nd
hour and the 96th hour as a straight line. The graph also presents maximum and minimum average
delivery rate errors for this interval by plotting average delivery errors over intervals of 2, 5, 11,
19, and 31 minutes.
Table 13: Standard Environmental Conditions and Specifications
Condition Specification
Ambient and fluid temperature: 22° C + 5° C
Back pressure: + or -1 psig
Filling head height: 18 inches of water (+ 4 inches)
IV fluid: Sterile water or D25W.
Delivery rate range: 0.1 to 1000 mL/hr
Administration set condition: No air trapped in tubing
Trumpet Curves Chapter 13: Product Specifications
SYMBIQ™ Infusion System Operating Manual 430-10599-001 (MDS DRAFT 04/06) 159
Sample Trumpet Curve
On the trumpet curve graph sample shown in Figure 155, find the 5 minute interval (A) at the
horizontal axis and read the corresponding points (B) and (C) on the vertical axis. The values are
approximately +2.8% and -0.5%.
This means at the rate of 25 mL/hr, the average maximum flow rate fluctuation for any 5 minute
time interval during the 2nd hour of operation was within the limits of +2.8% and -0.5% from the
nominal rate. The average delivery rate error over the entire 2nd hour was +1.6% (D).
For other time intervals, look at other points at the horizontal axis to determine the corresponding
limits.
Figure 155: Sample Trumpet Curve
A trained professional can use the resulting graphs to select an infuser with the appropriate startup
and flow characteristics to suit the clinical application.
To illustrate how trumpet curves are used, consider the maximum and minimum deviations at the
5 minute average interval. The upper curve provides the maximum expected delivery rate error
over a 5 minute interval, the lower curve provides the minimum expected delivery rate error over
a 5 minute interval.
Take for example Dopamine administered at 5 mcg/kg/ min. At 5 minutes, the average medication
delivery error would be within the range of +2.8% and -0.5% of the expected nominal rate.
