About the Instrument
The Signature Edition®GOLD Infusion Pump includes
Model 7130/7131 and Model 7230/7231 Infusion Pumps with
Resistance Monitoring Mode, Adjustable Pressure Capability, and
AccuSlide®Flow Regulator administration sets.
• The single channel (Model 7130/7131) provides a full range
of features in a small, easy-to-use, linear peristaltic pump.
• The dual channel (Model 7230/7231) offers the same
features while providing two, independent infusion pumps
in one instrument.
ALARIS Medical Systems®Infusion Pumps are intended for use in
today’s growing professional healthcare environment, including
healthcare facilities, home care, and medical transport that
utilize infusion pumps for the delivery of fluids, medications,
blood, and blood products.
The ALARIS Medical Systems®Infusion Pumps covered in this
document 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.

10 INTRODUCTION
Symbols and Terms (Continued)

To ensure proper performance of the Signature Edition®Pump
and to reduce potential injury, observe the following
precautions.
Epidural Administration
The instrument can be used for epidural administration of
anesthetic and analgesic drugs. This application is only
appropriate when using analgesics and anesthetics labeled
for continuous epidural administration and catheters
intended specifically for epidural use. Use only an ALARIS
Medical Systems®72 Series administration set, without a ‘Y’
connector or injection port, for epidural infusions. The
instrument’s secondary features must not be used when the
instrument is being used for epidural administration of
anesthetic and analgesic drugs.
• Epidural administration of anesthetic drugs: Use
indwelling catheters specifically indicated for short-term
(96 hours or less) anesthetic epidural drug delivery.
• Epidural administration of analgesic drugs: Use indwelling
catheters specifically indicated for either short-term or
long-term analgesic epidural drug delivery.
NOTE: Although the Signature Edition®Pump is built and tested to
exacting specifications, it is not intended to replace the supervision
of IV infusions by medical personnel. The user should become
thoroughly familiar with the features and operation of the system
and exercise vigilance in its utilization.
BASIC SYSTEM OPERATION

A warning is an alert to potential serious outcomes (death,
injury or serious adverse events) to the patient or user.
WARNING
A caution is an alert to take special care for the safe and
effective use of the device.
CAUTION
Warnings and Cautions
nly
O
Epidural administration of drugs
other than those indicated for
epidural use could result in serious
injury to the patient.
WARNING
It is strongly recommended that the
infusion instrument, source container,
and administration set used for
epidural drug delivery be clearly
differentiated from those used for
other types of administration.
WARNING

12 BASIC SYSTEM OPERATION
This instrument 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 neither
designed nor intended to detect infiltrations and will not alarm
under infiltration conditions.
WARNING
Hospital personnel must ensure the compatibility of the drugs,
as well as the performance of each instrument, as part of the
overall infusion. Potential hazards include drug interactions,
inappropriate delivery rates, and pressure alarms.
WARNING
Prior to use, ALARIS Medical Systems recommends that users
become familiar with the instrument, the administration sets
and any accessories that may be used.
CAUTION
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 “gravity only” systems,
affecting their performance (hospital personnel must ensure the
performance of the common IV site is satisfactory under these
circumstances).
WARNING
Each time the instrument 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 be operating with
the desired occlusion detection parameter(s).
WARNING
Warnings and Cautions (Continued)
References in this document to specific drugs and drug doses
are for example only. Refer to specific drug product labeling for
information concerning appropriate administration techniques
and dosages.
WARNING

BASIC SYSTEM OPERATION 13
BASIC SYSTEM
OPERATION
Warnings and Cautions (Continued)
To ensure proper performance of the instrument and to reduce
potential injury to the operator, observe the following
precautions.
• Disconnect from main (AC) and battery power when
performing maintenance.
• Do not open the instrument case. There are no user-
serviceable parts inside. The case should only be opened by
qualified service personnel using proper grounding
techniques. When the case is opened, an electrical shock
hazard exists which can result in serious injury to persons and
instrument component damage.
• The power cord must be connected to a properly grounded
three-wire receptacle (“Hospital Grade”).
Administration Sets
• A list of approved administration sets recommended by
ALARIS Medical Systems for use with the Signature Edition®
Pump is provided on the Set Compatibility Card.
• Before operating the instrument, verify that the
administration set is free from kinks and is installed correctly
in the instrument.
•ALARIS Medical Systems®72 Series administration sets are
supplied with a sterile fluid path for one-time use only. Do
not resterilize.
• For set replacement interval, refer to facility protocol and/or
government standards (such as, CDC guidelines in the United
States).
• Fluid path is STERILE and NONPYROGENIC.
• Discard if packaging is not intact or protector caps are
unattached.
• For IV push medication (put instrument on hold), clamp
tubing above the port.
User Precautions
Use only ALARIS Medical Systems®
72 Series administration sets. The
use of any other set may cause
improper instrument operation,
resulting in inaccurate fluid delivery
or other potential hazard.
WARNING
Parallel Infusions
There are no contraindications regarding the use of the
Signature Edition®Pump with any other positive
displacement infusion device when ported together into a
common IV site location.

14 BASIC SYSTEM OPERATION
Warnings and Cautions (Continued)
User Precautions (Continued)
Administration Sets (Continued)
• Flush port(s) per facility protocol.
• Discard administration set per facility protocol.
SmartSite®Needle-Free System:
• SmartSite®Needle-Free Valve Port is contraindicated for blunt
cannula systems.
• Swab top of SmartSite®Needle-Free Valve Port with preferred
antiseptic prior to each access.
NOTES:
• If applicable, attach syringe to SmartSite®Needle-Free Valve Port
and aspirate minute air bubbles.
• In an emergency, SmartSite®Valve may be accessed by a needle
and will leak if punctured. To access port with needle without
causing leakage, attach a “PRN” adapter of sufficient length to
SmartSite®Needle-Free Valve Port.
Artifacts
It is normal for infusion devices to produce nonhazardous
currents when infusing electrolytes. These currents vary in
proportion to the infusion device flow rate. When the 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.
Contraindications
None known.
