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.
Unpack the Product
Carefully unpack all items from the box and check that these items are included:
•The Product
•Power Cord
•Accessory Set (syringe, stopcocks, drain tubing, and Micro 90)
•CD (contains Users Manual and Hydrograph software)
•USB Cable

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 1, it is recommended that all infusion device connections be made to
the Product front-panel inlet connectors through 3-way stopcocks.

gir03.eps
Figure 1. Infusion Device Connections to the Product
The channel 4 inlet shown in Figure 1, 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.

Caution
Do not use delivery set or components that have been used for
prior testing for patient infusion.
Note
Before you use the delivery set (tubing, syringe, etc.), make sure it is within
the specified use period of the manufacturer. Many sets are made to be used
only once.
Connect Drains to the Product
