1 Clinical Skills Validation: Alaris Pump System These documents are intended for use by CW Nurse Clinical Leadership Team. The method used to implement the validation of the Alaris Pump System is unit specific. Yearly pump validation is required. Once validation has been completed, each nurse must sign up on the LearningHub in order to maintain her record. This document may be changed to meet the needs of each unit. Please ensure that you change the title if you change the document. What you may need in order to complete a validation 1. On-line Alaris resources: LearningHub Alaris Pump On-line Training CW intranet webpage 2.

Removes set prior to turning Off the pump. 3. Turns off the pump. 4. Explains rationale for turning off the pump between patient: Ensures that appropriate library is selected and confirmed for each new patient, when pump is turned on it asks if this is a new patient and then asks for library to be selected/confirmed. J. Demonstrates Turning Off the Pump and Safe Unloading of IV Set. 1. Explains the drug library (dataset) update procedure. Turn all pumps in their area on to wirelessly receive the new drug library. In areas with no (or spotty) wireless coverage, the PCUs (brains) will have to be exchanged. Biomedical Engineering will coordinate with clinical staff in these areas over the following two weeks (Sunny Hill, Canuck Place, Women s Health Centre and Mental Health, NICU). Once the new dataset has been uploaded, the new drug library is activated by: turning the pump Off, then ON and selecting New Patient. 2. Explains how to identify that the pump has the current dataset. Current dataset name can be found under the Drug Library Updates tab on the Alaris/Solis Pumps link on infosource. The most current version will be the most recent date listed. By clicking on the date details of changes/updates to the library and to the current name will be found. 8 Learning and Development Dept March 26, 2012
9 Learning Assessment and Activities Clinical Skills Validation: Alaris Pump System Validation KEY Demonstrated o Link Locates the current dataset name on the PCU screen (upper left hand corner) o Current dataset name: K. Auto ID (Barcode) Module 1. Demonstrates scanning barcode on the clinician ID, patient ID and medication label. Press Scan/Cancel key on Alaris Auto ID, module or scan button on hand held module. Hold barcode to be scaned at level of plug in port for handheld scanner about 2 to 3 fingers away from the auto ID module under the beam of light. Beam of light should center over barcode. Ensures label to be scanned is as flat as possible and minimizes movement of hand holding label to be scanned. If scan is successful an audible beep will be heard and information will be displayed on the PC unit screen. 2. Provides rational for using the Auto ID module versus manually programming the pump: Provides an extra layer of safety ensuring that the correct strength and drug is selected from the library. Using the Auto ID module pre programs the pump, by selecting the drug and concentration decreasing the programming steps for the clinician. L. Hard and Soft Limits 1. Explains the difference between a soft and hard limit: A soft limit can be overridden 9 Learning and Development Dept March 26, 2012
10 and a hard limit cannot. 2. Can explain the process when triggering a soft or hard limit. 1. re check programming of the pump 2. re check clinical checks 3. consult with colleagues (Nursing, pharmacy, physician) Obtain new orders if indicated. 3. Demonstrates how to override a soft limit: Must double check and ensure the dose is appropriate before proceeding, select OK M. Trouble shooting Alarms 1. Defines and describes how to troubleshoot the following alarms: See Pump Module and Syringe Module Quick Reference Guides on CW intranet webpage. a) Accumulated air in line b) Air in Line c) Channel disconnect d) Check IV Set e) Occluded Fluid Side/Empty Container f) Occluded Patient Side g) Partial Occlusion Patient Side h) Pump Chamber Blocked i) Restart Channel j) Safety Clamp Open Close Door k) Check Syringe l) Syringe Empty m) Hardware Detected Error/System Error/Syringe Calibration Required/Syringe driver Head Error.
