Auto-Programming
Auto-Programming is a new feature for the Hospira Plum A+
line of infusion pumps. It can only be used if the feature has
been installed in conjunction with your Hospital Information
System (HIS) and Barcode Point-Of-Care (BPOC) Unit. It works
by scanning barcode labels for the patient, pump, and IV bag
using a BPOC Unit, such as a PDA. This information is then
transferred to the pump utilizing either it’s wireless antenna or
RJ-45 Ethernet connector. The feature reduces the number of
steps needed to program an infusion.
NOTE: If the physician’s order for an auto-program therapy
exceeds the capabilities of the pump or is above a hospital
defined hard drug limit, the infusion parameters for autoprogramming will be rejected and the order will need to be rechecked.

NOTE: It is important that biomed personnel ensure that the
barcode identification label affixed to each infuser corresponds
to the correct Connectivity Engine Identification Number. This
way the correct order will be sent to the appropriate infuser.

The cleaning, maintenance, and storage of the Plum A+ are
described in this section.
CLEANING AND SANITIZING
For proper maintenance of the Plum A+, observe the following
cleaning and sanitizing guidelines.
Establish a routine weekly schedule for cleaning the infuser. To
clean, proceed as follows:
• Turn the Plum A+ off using the [ON/OFF] switch
• Disconnect from AC (mains) power
The exposed surfaces of the Plum A+ may be cleaned with a
lint-free cloth dampened by one of the recommended cleaning
solutions in the following list or mild, nonabrasive soapy water.
Clean the cassette door with a soft, lint-free cloth, dampened
with one of the cleaning agents listed in the following table, or a
mild solution of soapy water. Use a small non-abrasive brush to
aid in cleaning the infusion system housing and subsystem
chassis components. To thoroughly clean the cassette
receptacle, disengage the cassette door from the door latch by
pressing the door release tab.
CAUTION: DO NOT ALLOW CLEANING SOLUTIONS TO SATURATE

CAUTION:
NEVER USE SHARP OBJECTS SUCH AS FINGERNAILS,

The Plum A+ is battery powered for emergency backup and

NOTE: For optimum battery life, the Plum A+ should be
operated on battery power for three continuous hours at least
once every six months and then charged for a minimum of six
hours.
The battery charges whenever connected to AC (mains) power.
If the infuser is switched OFF, recharge takes approximately six
hours. Recharge takes longer if the infuser is turned ON.
As a general rule, the more often the battery is partially
discharged and recharged, the sooner it will need to be
replaced. Consult a qualified biomedical technician for battery
replacement if necessary.
To maintain maximum battery charge and to prolong battery life,
connect the infuser to AC (mains) power whenever possible.
When the infuser is used without wireless, the operation times
may be proportionally longer.
STORAGE
To prolong the life of the Plum A+, observe the following storage
precautions:
• Store the away from excessive heat, cold, and humidity
• Store connected to AC (mains) power
• Switch the infuser OFF using the [ON/OFF] key
SERVICE
All servicing or adjustments to the Plum A+ should be referred
to qualified technical personnel. A technical service manual
may be ordered from the local Hospira sales office.

Delivery Accuracy
The Plum A+ Infuser was designed and manufactured to maintain
a volumetric delivery rate error of the total fluid delivered of less
than or equal to ± 5% over the course of 48 hours at a
programmed rate of 1 to 999 mL/hr during normal operating
conditions. For use of the device at rates below 1 mL/hr, the
delivery rate error is less than or equal to ± 10%.
Backpressure Effect- Positive backpressure on the distal line may
affect delivery accuracy by no more than 0.5% per psig (2% per
psig for rates between 0.1 and 0.9 mL/hr) for backpressures up to
15 psig. A typical deviation under these conditions is 0.3%.
Negative backpressure may affect delivery accuracy no more
than 2% for pressures up to -2 psig (56 inches of water). A typical
deviation under these conditions is 0.3%.
Filling Head Effect- Variations in filling head (such as container
height) may affect delivery accuracy by no more than 2% for
variations in the range -15 to +28 inches. A typical deviation under
these conditions is 0.5%.
Concurrent Delivery Effect- When both lines (A & B) are
delivering, the ratio of delivery for the fluid with the lowest rate
may be affected by as much as 5% for ratios up to 9 to 1. For
higher ratios, the absolute percentage of delivery for the lowest
rate may be affected by no more than 0.5%. When air is present
in the bubble trap, the absolute percentage of delivery for the
lowest rate may be affected by up to 2.0%. When variations in
container height are present, the absolute percentage of delivery
for the lowest rate may be affected by up to 2.5% for up to 24
inches of container height differences.
Enteral & High Viscosity Fluids
Effects
System delivery accuracy limits for each Enteral and High
Viscosity Fluid, such as those listed in the following table, can be
degraded by an additional maximum of 5%. System accuracy for
Enteral Fluids is defined only for rates of 1 to 200 mL/hr, with no

Trumpet Curves
The Trumpet Curve Graphs following the Example 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, SubClause 50.102. Refer to this standard for detailed information.
How to read a Trumpet Curve Graph (Refer to example on the
following page): The graphs following the Example plot flow rates
at 30 second intervals for the first 2 hours and for the 96th hour of
delivery. The graph plots 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 error for this interval plotted by averaging delivery errors over
intervals of 2, 5, 11, 19 and 31 minutes (“Trumpet Curve”).
EXAMPLE
From the Trumpet Curve Graph sample that follows, 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 that 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
and determine corresponding limits as above.

A trained professional can use the resulting graphs to select a infuser
with the appropriate startup and flow characteristics to suit the clinical
application.
NOTE: As an example of how the trumpet curves can be 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. An example would be Dopamine administered
at 5 µgm/kg/min. At 5 minutes, the average drug delivery error
would be within the range of +2.8% and -0.5% of the expected
nominal rate.
