1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. General
IMPORTANT!
This service manual is intended for the exclusive use of authorized persons who
have been trained by ARGUS Medical AG in the maintenance and repair of the
ARGUS 60 M & ARGUS 100 M docking station.
The service manual is meant to be used together with the ‘User Manual’.
IMPORTANT!
ARGUS Medical AG shall not assume any responsibility for any manipulations which
have been carried out on the ARGUS 60 M or ARGUS 100 M docking station by a
non-authorized person.
IMPORTANT!
System V4: The ARGUS 60 M & ARGUS 100 M docking station with software version
4.30 only supports new ARGUS pump firmware versions beginning with v4.30.
IMPORTANT!
The reading of the barcode (medicament name and infusion data's on a syringe or a
fluid bag) and the data transfer to the pump are fail save.
The data transfer from the ARGUS 60 M & 100 M docking station to a PC is fail safe
only if the third party software and the PC hardware fulfills EN60601-1-1/-2/-4 itself.
Please contact ARGUS for details & permission to connect.
CAUTION!
The ARGUS 60 M & ARGUS 100 M docking station may only be used with spare
parts, accessories, pumps recommended by ARGUS Medical AG. The functional
safety of the docking station is not guaranteed if non approved materials are used.
The safety of the patient may be endangered.
This manual contains the latest data available. It is subject to further modifications in
accordance with technical improvements.
2. DOCKING CONFIGURATION
2.1. General
CAUTION!
The configuration possibilities with the “ARGUS service” PC utility tool constitute a
modification of the docking station and may only be carried out by authorized persons!
CAUTION!
After changing the configuration a functional check has to be performed!
396 0 ARGUS docking station serial number nnn T yww nnn T yww
Using the ARGUS service tool, the complete and detailed docking configuration
can be done.
3.1. General
The system V4 firmware allows to cascade two docking stations (both either ARGUS 60 M
or ARGUS 100 M). Thus many more combinations of pumps are possible and a single bar-
code reader can be used to operate both docking stations.
With the ARGUS service configuration indexes # 1+2+3+4 you define a
logical communication sequence:
(Personal Computer optional) → Master docking → Slave docking → (Barcode-Reader optional)
Example:
Slave
(e.g. ARGUS 60 M)
Barcode-
reader
Cascade
cable
(12.046)
Master
(e.g. ARGUS 100 M)
4. ARGUS SERVICE
4.1. General
The new ARGUS service utility is a highly user friendly PC software which can config-
ure and upgrade ARGUS devices over PC serial COM port. With this Windows based
software you can also set pump clock, change PIN code, read and print out history
and easily replicate pump configurations, and so on. The modern and clearly struc-
tured design of this self-describing PC-tool allows a very easy and rapid modification
of the ARGUS 600 Syringe pump, the ARGUS 707 / 708 Volumetric infusion pump
and the ARGUS 60 M / 100 M docking station. This software may be available from
your local distributor or directly from ARGUS Medical.
REMARK:
“ARGUS service” may only be used with V4 software versions greater or equal to 4.30.
CAUTION!
The docking station has to be disconnected from the pumps before and while the se-
rial interface cable is connected to the docking station.
Connect a straight RS-232 cable from the docking data interface to the serial in-
terface (COM port) of your PC.
Important remark:
After each configuration change,
a functional check has to be done!
CAUTION!
Every pump used with the ARGUS 60 M or ARGUS 100 M docking station has to be
preconfigured with its corresponding serial number label!
Index #396 in the configuration of each pump must be programmed with the corre-
sponding serial number. Please refer to the pumps respective service manual to
change these indexes if necessary. In the case of an invalid serial number, the dock-
ing station will generate an alarm and the pump can not be programmed via barcode.
Each registered event has its own date & time stamp. An event is
registered on each docking status change. Please refer to the com-
plete list mentioned in chapter 4.3.1 below.
5. SOFTWARE UPDATES
5.1. General
This chapter describes the procedure to perform software (firmware) updates on the
ARGUS 60 M and/or 100 M docking station.
Please refer to your local distributor or ARGUS Medical AG to determine the latest
software release available to run on your device hardware.
The ARGUS 60 M & 100 M contains a flash memory which can be updated easily via
the serial interface of a PC. This flash memory is divided in 2 sectors:
- User Program sector - Boot loader sector
The User Program sector contains the program which runs when the device is
switched on normally. The Boot loader sector contains a supportive program which
runs only when updating the flash memory.
NOTE!
The user program performs an internal ROM-Test during the self test phase of the
docking station. If an error occurred during the update process the device will enter the
fail safe state (for fault codes please refer to chapter 8.2 ).
Please contact your local distributor or ARGUS Medical AG to determine the latest
software release able to run on your device hardware.
With the “Update center” it’s also possible to upgrade the docking firmware to V4.
Use a crossed serial interface cable (or a null-modem adapter REF 12.050), con-
nected to the barcode interface (upper plug).
Use a straight RS-232 serial interface cable (REF 12.041), connected to the data inter-
face (lower plug)
Important:
• All previous settings are lost during this upgrade procedure!
Thus you will have to reconfigure them with ARGUS service.
• Finally, perform a standard safety check (see chapter 12 ).
A minor update is a newer firmware version where only the lowest digit changes.
For example: minor update = 4.30 to 4.33 (major update = 4.30 to 4.40)
Important:
• All your settings will be preserved.
• Finally, perform a standard safety check (see chapter 12 ).
Important:
• Finally, perform a standard safety check (see chapter 12 ).
6.1. General
The barcode reader "ScanPlus 1800 VT" (Intermec) including a gender changer may
be ordered from ARGUS (REF 90.150). It should be connected to the appropriate plug
of the ARGUS 60 M or ARGUS 100 M docking station marked with the sign:
CAUTION!
The barcode reader "ScanPlus 1800 VT" has been preconfigured and tested by
ARGUS for the use with the ARGUS 60 M and/or ARGUS 100 M docking station v4.30
T = Pump Type: “S” for syringe pump, “V” for volumetric pump
Med. = Medication number in HEX format (see pump service manual for details)
CD = Modulo 43 checksum digit.
7.1. General
The ARGUS 60 & 100 M docking station has one serial interface on board, which is
connected to the RS232 data connector.
Important remark!
This RS232 connector is galvanic isolated, but the docking slots for the pumps are
non-isolated interfaces. So if a pump is docked into the docking station, the software
switches automatically to the docking interface and the docking station builds the
separation device (galvanic isolation) then.
7.3. Monitoring
The interface protocol of software release V4 is intended to be used in combination
with a PDMS (Patient Data Management System). For visualization and documenta-
tion purposes, the status of each docked-in pump and the status of the docking station
itself can be requested through the serial interface.
CAUTION!
Those PC transmitted data are not intended to be used for diagnostic or remote con-
trolling of the pumps or other devices.
7.4. Remoting
Future extensions will allow remote controlling of the pumps. This requires written
permission from ARGUS Medical.
8.1. General
CAUTION!
Only authorized persons who have been trained by ARGUS Medical AG or by the local
distributor are allowed to service the ARGUS 60 M and/or ARGUS 100 M docking sta-
tion. In case of repair request, send the unit with the filled out “repair order form” (see
chapter 13 ) to the local distributor. Further information is available from:

CAUTION!
The safety standard check (SSC) has to be performed at least every 24 month or after
10'000 hrs of operation. The check has to be done in accordance to the chapter 12 .
No special maintenance of the ARGUS 60 M & ARGUS 100 M docking station is nec-
essary. There are no wear and tear parts.
Exceptionally a fault code not listed above may appear. In this case we recommend
changing the main board.
