1 Overview
1.1 General
The Pilot A is a syringe pump intended for the infusion of intravenous agents at a accurate,
low flow rate. The wide choice of syringes, the use of the universally recognised control
symbols and the synoptic display of the alarms contribute to making the Pilot A easy to use.
The adjustable occlusion detection, the correct positioning detection and the overall syringe
protection system guarantee optimum safety.
Its technical characteristics, the flow range from 0.1 to 120 ml/hr and its excellent accuracy
(+1% on the equipment) contribute to making the Pilot A, the ideal instrument for medical
services.

1.3 Precautions to be taken before use
The symbol ! in the Quick Start Guide recommends that the manual should be read in full
in accordance with standard EN 60601-1.
Fresenius Vial may in no case be held responsible for medical problems or any other
problems resulting from inadequate use of the equipment.
Refer to the User’s Instructions for further details.
1.4 Internal safety features

As soon as it is switched ON, the equipment activates a continuous function inspection
system. Any internal failure or any problem in the usage procedure is detected immediately.
Nevertheless, abnormal operation of the equipment with no obvious cause must always be
reported to the qualified technicians in your organization or our After Sales service.
If a fault occurs, an alarm is activated for any flow rate deviation greater than 5% in
comparison with the normal flow rate.
A second check activates an alarm in the event of deviation of 1 ml in comparison with the
anticipated infused volume, or if a flow rate greater than 20% is identified. The alarm is
triggered by the deviation detected first.
The Pilot is fitted with an internal battery to continue operation in the event of a power cut.
Furthermore, a safety fuse protects the mains from further disturbance.

4.5 Cleaning and disinfection

The syringe pump is part of the patient's immediate environment. It is advisable to clean and
disinfect the external surfaces of the device on a daily basis in order to protect both patient
and personnel from any risks of contamination.
n Disconnect the power cable from the wall socket before cleaning.
n Do not place in an AUTOCLAVE or IMMERSE the device, and do not allow liquid to
penetrate inside the equipment case or power supply cover.
o Use a cloth soaked in DETERGENT-DISINFECTANT, diluted in water if necessary, to
eliminate micro organisms.
o Avoid excessively abrasive brushing that could scratch the case.
o Do not rinse or wipe the surfaces.
n If the equipment is used in a department with severe contamination risks, after disinfecting
by wiping with a damp cloth, equipment should be left in the room during aerial disinfection.
Do not use TRICHLOROETHYLENE-DICHLOROETHYLENE.
n ¨TRICHLOROETHYLENE-DICHLOROETHYLENE:
o AMMONIA.
o AMMONIUM CHLORIDE
o CHLORINE AND AROMATIC HYDROCARBON.
o ETHYLENE DICHLORIDE-METHYLENE CHLORIDE
o CETONE based cleaning products.
These aggressive agents could damage the plastic parts and lead to apparatus malfunctions.
Also beware of ALCOHOL SPRAYS (20% -40% alcohol) that tarnish and crack the
plastic and fail to provide the cleaning action required prior to disinfection.
For further information, please contact the competent department in your hospital for supply
of the appropriate cleaning and disinfecting products.

n Weld the ribbon cable to the new pressure switch, ensuring the mounting procedure is
carried out in order:
o Taper the 3 welding points.
o Weld the 3 points.
o Check that the welding has been carried out correctly. It should not form a ball, but
should lie against the length of the component snubbers.
n Repeat the operation for the anti-siphon opto (4 welding points).

n Stick the bottom side of the ribbon cable to the double-sided board.
n Repeat the operation for the disengagement switch. (3 welding points)
