PCA II Pump Operato
Introducing the PCA II Pump
The PCA II Pump is a syringe infusion pump capable of both
continuous and intermittent infusion of parenteral fluids in a
hospital setting. The pump can be used with or without a
primary IV delivery system. The pump uses state of the art
microprocessor electronics for control of all functions, Car-
tridges, available separately, allow the pump operator to change
the characteristics of the pump. The operation of PCA II
Pump controls depends upon the cartridge installed in the
pump.
The pump drive mechanism consists of a DC motor, gear train,
È - 3
precision lead screw, pusher block, and syringe retention
device. It is powered by four D-size alkaline batteries or the
1 P DY
optional AC power kit.
The constant monitoring of pump performance results in
optimal safe operation. Sophisticated hardware and software
that can stop the pumping action and signal the operator help
prevent faulty operation due to low flow, runaway, excess
pressure, low battery, or control circuit failure. In addition, the
prescription can be changed only after an authorized user
enters a preassigned access code.
the PCA I Pump may malfunction if used near electric
WARNING | elds, magnetic fields, or radiation sources, such as
electrosurgical units, magnetic resonance imaging machines,
or x-ray machines.
This equipment is not suitable for use in the presence of
flammable anesthetics of airloxygen or nitrous oxide,
