3 Set-up

3.1 General information

The infusion pump must only be used under the supervision of qualified clinical or nursing
staff. The user has the responsibility to read and to observe the following instructions. Al-
so use only standard IV administration sets in accordance with the instructions of the
manufacturer, check for valid set selection and be sure that the inserted set is calibrated!
Under normal conditions, we recommend changing the IV administration set every
24 hours or after 2.5 liters infused.

Caution! Only use the recommended accessories, consumables and IV sets with
Luer- Look connections (see appendix). The functional safety of the pump
is not guaranteed if non approved IV sets are used. The safety of the pa-
tient may be endangered. This also applies in the case the patient line is
connected with other infusion systems.

3.2 Installation
The ARGUS 707 V infusion pump can be mounted on a table top, an IV-stand / ceiling
pole (up to diameter 38mm), a standard rail system (optional accessory) and on a pole on
the ARGUS Docking Station A60/100.
When fixed to an IV stand, the equipment should not be mounted higher than 1.2 m over
the floor so that the stability remains.
To fix the equipment to a rail system, use the optional available ARGUS multifunctional
clamping system.

14.204.J_A707 en V4.4X.docx CODAN ARGUS AG 05.08.2014/ VZ 11

 3.3 Pump set-up
The ARGUS 707 V infusion pump must only be used under the supervision of qualified
clinical or nursing staff. The user has the responsibility to read and to observe the
following instructions.
Only use standard IV administration sets in accordance with the instructions of the
manufacturer.

Caution! The connection of several infusion types (gravity, syringe pumps, peristal-
tic pumps, etc.) together into the same tube can be very dangerous.
The combination is allowed with the ARGUS 707 V if at least an IV set
equipped with a back check valve is used in every line.
This type of connection should only be used if expressively specified in the
operation manual of each device and/or approved by a notified body and
applied under a trained qualified clinical or nursing staff.

a) Connect the power cord to the AC line

b) Open the IV set packaging, slide the roller clamp down the line to be able to place
it between pump and patient, then close roller clamp and connect the IV set to the
fluid container
c) Fill the drop chamber 1/3 to max. 1/2, open the roller clamp and fill the entire set
(make sure to remove all air bubbles)
d) Close the roller clamp again

 j) Connect the IV set to the patient IV catheter
k) Be sure that the pressure in the tube is zero (= 0 bar)
l) Switch the pump ON
m) Proceed to the flow rate input in accordance with the following chapters

Caution! Please mind the position of the decimal point:

For display values up to 999.9 For display values ≥ 1000

Display auto increment: If a numerical key is pressed for longer than 1 sec., the corre-
sponding number is automatically incremented. If key “100” is pressed for automatic in-
crement, check for correct decimal point position since 1000 values can be entered this
way.

4 Special functions

4.1 The electronic pressure sensor

The electronic pressure sensors provide a fast alarm reaction time and a very low occlu-
sion bolus volume. Both patient side (downstream) and container side (upstream) occlu-
sions are recognized.

Caution! Place the IV set in the pump before the pump is switched on.

The electronic pressure sensor can be used in two different modes:

a) Fixed pressure level

If the pressure in the downstream system exceeds the programmed pressure alarm level,
the infusion will be stopped and an occlusion alarm released. The ARGUS 707 V will then
automatically reduce the pressure in the set; possibly patient blood could flow back in-
to the tube. Before starting the infusion again, search carefully for the cause and elimi-
nate the problem.
Caution! If the door has been opened, switch the pump off, close the door and
switch the pump on again while maintaining the “1” key pressed
(recall of previous infusion data).

b) Adjustable pressure level

At any time the staff has the possibility to adjust the pressure alarm level in the menu
"PrL" from 100 to 1000 mbar in 10 steps of 100 mbar (10 to 100 kPa, 75 – 750 mmHg).

14.204.J_A707 en V4.4X.docx CODAN ARGUS AG 05.08.2014/ VZ 15

 If the pressure alarm level is changed while the infusion is running and no key is pressed
during 5 seconds (programmable), both displays change back to the basic position!

After switching the pump off and on again or opening the door, the default programmed
alarm level will be set and the sensor reinitialized.

The full scale of the bar graph pressure display equals the selected patient side pressure
alarm level.

The bottle side pressure alarm level is a fixed preprogrammed value. The alarm condition
is shown with a single bar on the right side of the bar graph.

4.2 Programmable options

If one of the following option is to be used, please get in touch with the local distributor or
with CODAN ARGUS AG service department.

a) Display of the infusion time

The elapsed infusion time is indicated in hours and minutes.
In the VTBI-mode the remaining time is indicated.
b) SBS (step by step)
If the preset volume is reached and increased afterwards only the difference between
the new and the old value is infused after the pump is restarted.
c) VTBI (volume to be infused)
The volume to be infused is indicated.
d) Set rate "ml/h" automatically to “0.0” when the pump is switched on again.
e) The last preset volume "ml” will automatically appear when the pump is switched on
again.

 4.18 Air Bubble Detection

Pumps with a standard factory setting detect air bubbles featuring a volume of 250 µl (~
0.247 ml or 35 mm length) upwards and trigger off a specific air-bubble alarm. Your tech-
nical department can adjust this value by means of the configuration menu to within a
range from 50 to 1,000 µl.

Depending on the operating range of the device, it is also possible – again by means of
the configuration menu – to switch on an additional function for monitoring the accumula-
tion of small air bubbles (the volume of the bubbles can be set to anywhere between 100
and 2,000 µl) over a given period of time (settable between 8 and 64 minutes). Setting
this function is recommended in particular for solutions that tend to foam.

The size of the air bubbles to be detected by the pump shall be defined by the medical
personnel in charge.

The following precautions should be observed in order to minimise the risk of air
bubbles forming:

1. The drop chamber must always be at least one third full to a maximum of half full. When
high flow rates are used, it should be half full.

2. The tube must be filled completely and checked before connection to the patient; any air
bubbles must be removed.

3. Y fittings must be properly sealed and 3-way valves must be set correctly.

4. Solutions that have to be stored in a refrigerated condition must be warmed at least to

room temperature before use.

5 Safety information

5.1 Risk and danger

Caution! The infusion pump must only be used under the supervision of qualified
clinical or nursing staff.
Caution! The ARGUS 707 V pump was designed and manufactured to be used only
as an IV infusion pump.
Caution! The ARGUS 707 V infusion pump may only be used with spare parts, ac-
cessories, consumables and sets with Luer-Lock connections (specified in
the appendix) recommended by CODAN ARGUS AG. The functional safety
of the pump is not guaranteed if non approved materials are used. The
safety of the patient may be endangered.
Caution! The connection of several infusion types (gravity, syringe pumps, peristaltic
pumps, etc.) together into the same tube can be very dangerous. This type
of connection should only be used if expressively specified in the operation
manual of each device and/or approved by a notified body and applied un-
der a trained qualified clinical or nursing staff.
Caution! Keep the ARGUS 707 V pump clean and dry. If inadvertently liquid is
poured over the unit, immediately remove the AC power cord of the unit or
the ARGUS Docking Station and contact the relevant hospital department
for cleaning and drying.
Caution! The ARGUS 707 V must not be operated in hazardous locations and explo-
sive gaze environment.
Caution! After each falling the pump has to be tested by the tech. service.
Caution! The ARGUS 707 V pump has to be connected to mains supplies in accord-
ance to the limits specified in chapter 9. The pump can only completely
be disconnected from the mains by removing the mains power cord.
Caution! No interferences by external high frequency electromagnetic fields (e.g. in
combination with surgical equipment) are known that could influence the
safe operation of the pump. In case of doubt we suggest that you contact
your local distributor.
Caution! Be aware that a free-flow and/or under-flow will not be detected when the
pump is operated without a drop detector!
Furthermore the following security steps have to be taken:
You must install the roller clamp on the patient side of the pump.
An infusion volume (ml total smaller than the content of the bottle) must
be entered.
Caution! The pump must not be operated with a defective battery pack. Pumps that
do not have a functioning battery pack may present a danger to patients
because the pump will turn off immediately and without prior warning in the
case of a power failure. For safety reasons the pump should only be fitted
with battery packs provided by CODAN ARGUS AG.

14.204.J_A707 en V4.4X.docx CODAN ARGUS AG 05.08.2014/ VZ 30

 Emboli: To avoid this risks flush the IV set and the extension line before use, make
sure no air bubbles remain in the entire system!
Pulmonary
Oedema: An excessive or to rapid infusion may endanger the patient or cause death!

5.2 Safety standard checks (SSC)

The maintenance safety standard check has to be performed at least every 24 months or
after maximum 10’000 hours of operation. The checks have to be performed according to
the description available in the service manual.

6 Cleaning / Disinfection

6.1 General references

Caution! The pump has to be switched off and must be unplugged from the power
line before cleaning! Remove all connections and cables.
Caution! It is strictly forbidden to autoclave the ARGUS infusion pump or to dip it in-
to liquid.
Caution! Take care that no liquid gets into the unit or the plugs.
Caution! Keep the ARGUS 707 V pump clean and dry. If inadvertently liquid is pour-
ed over the unit, immediately remove the AC power cord of the unit or the
ARGUS Docking Station and contact the relevant hospital department for
cleaning and drying.

The pump must only be cleaned by "swabbing". Only alcoholic disinfectants may be used.

Caution! Do not use scrubbing agents for cleaning!

In order to keep the pump full operational, we recommend regular cleaning. Use a cloth
moistened with lukewarm water for cleaning. Alcoholic cleaning agents must only be us-
ed diluted.

For more information regarding the supply of suitable cleaning agents and disinfectants
please contact the specialists in your house.
