Usage
Before use, read and follow the official Instructions for Use and all institutional protocols; only trained healthcare professionals should operate the device.
Check the pump housing, pole clamp, power connections and battery status for any damage or faults before connecting the device to a patient.
Select a compatible sterile disposable syringe (size and manufacturer approved for use with the Perfusor Compactplus) and fill it with the prescribed medication using aseptic technique; remove air and secure the plunger.
Mount the syringe in the pump’s syringe holder and engage the syringe claws/drive head following the guided loading instructions on the display.
Select or confirm the drug from the integrated DoseGuard drug library if used, or manually enter infusion parameters (rate, volume, duration) as per the prescription.
Connect the syringe line to the patient’s vascular access using appropriate IV lines and safety devices; ensure all clamps are correctly positioned and the line is primed, avoiding air in the tubing.
Start the infusion as directed; monitor the patient, infusion line and pump status regularly, paying attention to alarms, occlusion warnings, battery status and infusion progress.
For transport or battery operation, verify sufficient battery charge for the planned duration; connect to mains power or docking station when available to maintain charge.
At the end of infusion, stop the pump, clamp and disconnect lines according to institutional policy; dispose of used syringes and consumables as clinical waste.
Perform routine cleaning and functional checks as recommended by B. Braun and institutional biomedical engineering teams; schedule regular technical servicing and safety testing.
Contraindications
Use is contraindicated where syringe infusion pumps are not appropriate for the prescribed therapy or patient condition, as determined by a clinician.
Do not use with non-approved syringe types or sizes, or if syringe recognition is incorrect.
Do not use on patients if the pump shows error messages, visible damage or failed functional checks.
Do not use in environments that exceed the specified operating conditions for temperature, humidity, electromagnetic interference or altitude.
Use with caution or alternative equipment in MRI environments unless specifically rated and configured for such use.
Adverse Effects
Potential for under-infusion or over-infusion if infusion parameters are incorrectly programmed, Syringe is misloaded, or if alarms and warnings are ignored.
Risk of extravasation, infiltration or phlebitis at the infusion site if standard IV therapy precautions are not followed.
If air detection and line priming guidelines are not followed, there is a risk of air embolism through any IV infusion device.
Mechanical or electronic failure, although unlikely in a properly maintained device, can lead to interruption or alteration of infusion and requires prompt clinical action.
Improper cleaning or maintenance may lead to malfunction, alarm issues or contamination of device surfaces.
Storage Conditions
Store and transport the pump in a clean, dry environment within the temperature and humidity ranges specified by the manufacturer (typically standard hospital environmental conditions).
Protect from direct sunlight, excessive dust, vibration and shock during storage and transport.
When not in use for extended periods, store with the device switched off and, where recommended, connect periodically to mains power to maintain battery health.
Do not expose the device to immersion in fluids or high-pressure water jets; IP34 rating protects only against splashing water from any direction.
Keep out of reach of unauthorised persons; ensure only trained staff have access for clinical use.
Duration
Treatment duration is programmable and depends on the prescribed infusion rate and total volume to be delivered. The pump can support infusions ranging from short bolus deliveries to prolonged continuous infusions over many hours or days, within the technical limits and institutional protocols.
Onset
Onset of clinical effect depends entirely on the medication being infused, the infusion rate and patient-specific factors; the Perfusor Compactplus provides immediate, controlled start of infusion once activated and correctly set.
