To achieve the nominal performance stated in this DFU, BD strongly recommends use of Alaris GW 800 branded dedicated infusion sets.
Facilities intending to use non-dedicated infusion sets with the set detection mode disabled are advised to assess performance prior to
clinical use. If adequate performance is not achieved, then Alaris GW 800 branded dedicated infusion sets should be used or the Alaris
GW 800 Volumetric Pump should be re-calibrated. The use of a flow sensor is mandatory when the automatic set detection mode on the
Pump is disabled.
wDISCLAIMER. This Pump has been tested and approved by BD for use only with BD dedicated infusion sets. In the
event the user is considering using infusion sets, not approved for use with the Alaris GW 800 Volumetric Pump,
the user should consult an authorized BD representative for compatibility and/or calibration information prior
to use. In no event, however, does BD make any representations or warranties concerning the adequacy and safe
performance of any non-dedicated infusion sets as it relates to the operation of the Pump and the accuracy of the
infusion.
In no event shall BD be liable for any damages of any kind or nature, including without limitation, direct or indirect,
special, consequential, or incidental damages arising from, or in connection with, the use of non-dedicated infusion
sets (Infusion sets not manufactured by BD), regardless of whether BD has been advised as to the possibility of such
use.

Operating Precautions
Operating Precautions
Infusion Sets
• To ensure correct and accurate operation, only use BD single use infusion sets described in the 'Compatible
Dedicated Infusion Sets' section of this Directions for Use. Use an infusion set with an anti-siphon valve
whenever possible. The anti-siphon valve prevents free flow from occurring if an infusion set is incorrectly
loaded or removed from the Pump.
• It is recommended that Infusion sets are changed in accordance with the Directions for Use.
Carefully read the Directions For Use supplied with the Infusion set prior to use. Use of non-specified Infusion
sets may impair the operation of the Pump and the accuracy of the infusion.
• When combining several apparatus and/or instruments with Infusion sets and other tubing, for example via
a 3-way tap or multiple Infusion, the performance of the Pump may be affected and should be monitored
closely.
j• Uncontrolled flow may result if the Infusion set is not properly isolated from the patient i.e. closing a tap in
the set or activating an in-line clamp/roller clamp.
• The Infusion set may be fitted with an in-line clamp, which can be used to occlude tubing in case it is
required to stop fluid flow.
• The Alaris GW 800 Volumetric Pump is a positive pressure Pump, which should use Infusion sets fitted with
Luer lock fittings or equivalent locking connectors.
• To infuse from a burette, close the roller clamp above the burette and open the clamp on the vent on top of
the burette.
• Discard Infusion set if the packaging is not intact or the protector cap is detached. Ensure sets are not kinked
as this may occlude the tubing.
• BD recommends the use of the IVAC® Model 180 Flow Sensor when using sets without anti-siphon valves or
the mandatory use of the IVAC® Model 180 Flow Sensor whenever the Pump set detection mode is disabled.
The flow sensor automatically monitors the infusion flow rate through the drip chamber and will cause the
Pump to alarm if a significant deviation from the infusion rate occurs. The flow sensor will detect empty
containers.
Mounting the Pump
^• The fluid height in the container must not be more than 1 metre above the patients heart.
%; • Do not mount the Pump in a vertical position with the AC power inlet pointing upwards as this could affect
electrical safety, in the event of a fluid spill over the Pump.
Operating Pressure
• The pumping pressure alarm system is not designed to provide protection against, or detection of, IV
complications which can occur.
Alarm Conditions
$• Several alarm conditions detected by this Pump will stop the infusion and generate visual and audible
alarms. Users must perform regular checks to ensure that the infusion is progressing correctly and no alarms
are operating.
• Alarm tone settings are preserved in the case of power loss, however some system faults will result in loss
of alarm settings. The new alarm tone settings will be stored when powering down from tech mode after a
change. The settings will be lost if a cold-start is performed, but should be saved for faults that don't require
a cold start.

BDDF00160 Issue 1 9/40
Alaris™ GW Volumetric Pumps
Operating Precautions
Using Collapsable bags, Glass Bottles & Semi Rigid containers
• It is recommended that the air vent be opened on the Alaris GW 800 Volumetric Pump set if using glass
bottles or semi-rigid containers, to reduce the partial vacuum formed as the fluid is infused from the
container. This action will ensure the Pump can maintain volumetric accuracy whilst the container empties.
The action of opening the air vent for semi-rigid containers should take place after the spiking of the
container and priming of the drip chamber.

Steps for the Collapsable bags
Follow steps 1 to 3 as shown for
the semi-rigid containers, however
do not open vent as in step 4, but
prime the set as per step 5. Ensure
the bag outlet is fully pierced
before filling the drip chamber.
Operating Environment
• When using any infusion Pump in conjunction with other pumps or devices requiring vascular access,
extra care is advised. Adverse delivery of medication or fluids can be caused by the substantial variation in
pressures created within the local vascular system by such pumps. Typical examples of those pumps are used
during dialysis, bypass or cardiac assist applications.
• This Pump is suitable for use in Hospital and clinical environments other than domestic establishments and
those directly connected to the public single phase AC mains power supply network that supplies buildings
used for domestic purposes. (Consult Technical Service Manual, appropriately trained Qualified Service
Personnel or BD for further information).
• This Pump is not intended to be used in the presence of a flammable anaesthetic mixture with air or oxygen
or nitrous oxide.
• Align all Alaris GW 800 Volumetric Pumps within a particular hospital or clinical environment to the same
automatic set detection mode (ie. All On or all OFF) to avoid potential confusion amongst users as to the
mode in which the Pump is operating under and hence to ensure that the appropriate recommendations for
flow sensor usage are followed.
Earth Conductor
d• The Alaris GW 800 Volumetric Pump is a Class I device, therefore must be earthed when connected to an AC
power supply.
• This Pump also has an internal power source.
• When connected to an external power source, a three-wire (Live, Neutral, Earth) supply must be used. If the
integrity of the external protective conductor on the AC power cable has been compromised, the Pump
should be disconnected from the AC power source and operated utilising the internal battery.
