Warranty and Product Support
Fluke Biomedical warrants this instrument against defects in materials and workmanship for one year from the date of
original purchase OR two years if at the end of your first year you send the instrument to a Fluke Biomedical service center
for calibration. You will be charged our customary fee for such calibration. During the warranty period, we will repair or at our
option replace, at no charge, a product that proves to be defective, provided you return the product, shipping prepaid, to
Fluke Biomedical. This warranty covers the original purchaser only and is not transferable. The warranty does not apply if
the product has been damaged by accident or misuse or has been serviced or modified by anyone other than an authorized
Fluke Biomedical service facility. NO OTHER WARRANTIES, SUCH AS FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE
EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. FLUKE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, ARISING FROM ANY CAUSE OR THEORY.
This warranty covers only serialized products and their accessory items that bear a distinct serial number tag. Recalibration
of instruments is not covered under the warranty.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights that vary in different jurisdictions. Since
some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of an implied warranty or of incidental or consequential damages,
this limitation of liability may not apply to you. If any provision of this warranty is held invalid or unenforceable by a court or
other decision-maker of competent jurisdiction, such holding will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.

Introduction
The Fluke Biomedical IDA-5 Infusion Device Analyzer
(the Product) is a precision instrument that examines the
performance of medical infusion devices. The Product
measures the flow rate and volume supplied, and the
pressure generated in occlusion or blockages of the fluid
line. A maximum of 4 infusion devices can be
independently examined with the four-channel version of
the Product.
Intended Use
The Product is to be used by infusion device
manufacturers, hospital biomedical engineering
departments, and third-party service organizations. Use
the Product to verify accurate performance of infusion
devices through measurement of flow, volume, and
pressure. The performance of a wide range of infusion
devices can be analyzed including syringe, drop counting,
peristaltic, and volumetric types. Non-steady flow rate
pumps can also be analyzed. The Product uses distilled
or deionized water with an optional wetting agent only.
Safety Information
A Warning identifies hazardous conditions and actions
that could cause bodily harm or death. A Caution
identifies conditions and actions that could harm the
Product, the equipment under test, or cause permanent
loss of data.
 Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or
personal injury:
•Read all safety Information before you
use the Product.
•Carefully read all instructions.
•Use the product only as specified, or the
protection supplied by the product can
be compromised.
•Do not use the Product if it operates
incorrectly.

•Do not use and disable the Product if it
is damaged.
•Use this Product indoors only.
•Connect an approved three-conductor
mains power cord to a grounded power
outlet.
•Never use a two-prong plug adapter to
connect primary power to the Product.
•Use only the mains power cord and
connector approved for the voltage and
plug configuration in your country and
rated for the Product.
•Make sure the ground conductor in the
mains power cord is connected to a
protective earth ground. Disruption of
the protective earth could put voltage on
the chassis that could cause death.
•Replace the mains power cord if the
insulation is damaged or if the insulation
shows signs of wear.
•Turn the Product off and remove the
mains power cord before cleaning the
outer surface of the Product.
•Do not open the Product unless you are
qualified.
•Do not use the Product around explosive
gas, vapor, or in damp or wet
environments.
•Do not use the Product on infusion
devices that are attached to patients.
•Do not reuse test tubing or syringes for
patient infusion
•Avoid possible contamination of
reusable components due to backflow
conditions. Some older style infusion
devices may have reusable components
that could come in direct contact with
the fluids being pumped. When testing
these types of devices take care to avoid
possible contamination of reusable
components.
•Do not use delivery set or components
that have been used for testing for
patient infusion.
•Do not connect the Product to a patient
or equipment connected to a patient. The
Product is intended for equipment
evaluation only and should never be
used in diagnostics, treatment or in any
other capacity where the Product would
come in contact with a patient.

•The Product must be properly earthed.
Only use a supply socket that has a
protective earth contact. If there is any
doubt as to the effectiveness of the
supply socket earth, do not connect the
Product. Do not use a two-conductor
adapter or extension cord. This will
break the protective ground connection.
•Many components on the printed circuit
board are static sensitive. ESD
precautions should be observed when
handling the printed circuit board
assembly.
•To avoid shock hazard and for proper
Product operation, connect the factory
supplied three-conductor line power
cord to a properly grounded power
outlet. Do not use a two-conductor
adapter or extension cord; this will break
the protective ground connection.
•The Product is intended for use by
trained service technicians to perform
periodic inspections on a wide range of
medical equipment. The testing
procedures are menu-driven, and simple
to operate.
•The Product is intended for use with
single-phase, grounded power. It is not
intended for dual, split-phase or three-
phase power configurations. But it can
be used with any power system that
supplies the correct voltages for single-
phase and is grounded.
•This Product is intended to be used in
the laboratory environment, outside of
the patient care area, and is not intended
for use on patients, or to test devices
while connected to patients. This
Product is not intended to be used to
calibrate medical equipment and not
intended for over the counter use.

alcohols.
•Do not rapidly switch the Product On or
Off, nor remove the line cord while
energized.
•Remove internal water before shipping
or storing. Do not use compressed air to
clean out the Product.
•Do not expose the Product to
temperature extremes. For proper
operation, ambient temperatures should
be from 15 °C to 30 °C (59 °F to 86 °F).
Performance may be adversely affected
if temperatures fluctuate above or below
this range. For Storage Temperature
limits, see the Specifications section.
•Do not use the Product in close
proximity to sources of strong
electromagnetic radiation (e.g.,
unshielded intentional RF sources).
These sources may interfere with proper
operation.

Product Connections
The Product connects to infusion devices through the
front-panel inlet ports. Fluid drain hoses and accessories
connections are made through the rear-panel
connections.
Connect Infusion Devices
As shown in Figure 3, it is recommended that all infusion
device connections be made to the Product front-panel
inlet connectors through 3-way stopcocks.
The channel 4 inlet shown in Figure 3, shows a 20 ml
syringe attached to one 3-way stopcock inlet. The syringe
can be used to help priming. It can be used as shown or
can be connected further away from the inlet to help for
flow tests. The syringe can be shared among the
channels and removed after the channel is primed.
Follow these recommendations when you connect to the
inlet tubing circuits:
•Use adequate prime volumes (for example, 10 ml)
to push through any bubbles.
•Use the stopcocks at the inlet to prevent fluid
backflow out of inlets between tests.
•When you connect to the inlet circuits (for example,
when you attach the priming syringes to the
stopcocks) make sure no new bubbles are
introduced.
