The Alaris PC-2TX is a medical infusion device designed to administer anesthetic and analgesic drugs via epidural administration or general infusion. The document outlines safety warnings regarding grounding, flammable anesthetics, and electrical shock hazards before detailing the installation and system configuration.
The manual covers both independent operation and integration with a host computer for monitoring and control. It provides step-by-step instructions for setting up primary and secondary (piggyback) infusions, adjusting rates, managing alarms, and performing maintenance tasks such as battery care and cleaning.
The pump should use in-dwelling catheters specifically indicated for short-term (96 hours or less) anesthetic epidural drug delivery.
The purchaser is strictly responsible for the selection, testing, and use of host computer hardware and software in conjunction with the PC-2TX.
Only a hospital grade plug should be used to insure proper grounding and achieve grounding reliability.
