2.2 Principles of Operation


From an operational point of view, the Agilia VP range of pumps is made up of 3 sub-assemblies:
 Administration set test and maintenance
 Motor
 External connection

2.2.1 Administration Set Test and Maintenance Sub-assembly


The administration set is positioned along the front part panel and held in place by the door.
The front part is equipped with four detection systems:
 Detector to check the position of the door (open/closed)
 Photoelectric cell to detect the presence of the anti-free flow clamp
 Ultrasonic sensor to detect the presence of air bubbles in the administration set
 Two piezo-resistant pressure sensors

2.2.2 Motor Sub-assembly


The motor sub-assembly contains the peristaltic pumping mechanism.
The mechanism is made up of a camshaft that creates a wave-like movement in a bank of 12 fingers. The
displacement of these fingers is controlled by the CPU board, while turning it displaces the liquid at the
programmed flow rate.
The camshaft is driven by a stepper-motor and a reduction gearbox assembly through a toothed belt.
A light sensor and a rotation palette are located on the end of the camshaft.

24
2.2.3 External Connection Sub-assembly
The Agilia VP range of pumps has two plugs located at the back of the angle bracket. See figure 2.15,
page 24.
 AC power supply plug
 8-pin binder plug which, together with various specific Fresenius Kabi accessories, enables the
following:
- Continuous external power supply
- Serial link

4 Fundamentals

4.1 Profiles
A profile defines the device configuration and drug library used for a
group of patients in a given health care environment.
By default, factory settings include only 1 profile (Basic Profile).
Custom profiles can be created and loaded to the pump with Agilia
Vigilant Drug’Lib software. Custom profiles feature a specific pump
configuration and a drug library.
A pump can manage up to 20 profiles:
 1 Basic Profile
 Up to 19 custom profiles

Information
For pumps used on only one group of patients, we recommend disabling
the ability to select the profile, thus locking the pumps to the selected
profile.

4.1.1 Basic Profile


Basic Profile allows programming of an infusion whose settings have not
been pre-defined with Agilia Vigilant Drug’Lib software.
To program an infusion with Basic Profile, choose "Basic Profile" when
selecting a profile.
Basic Profile has the following characteristics:
 All infusion settings are to be defined.
 The Agilia Vigilant Drug’Lib software's safeguards are
unavailable:
- The infusion is programmed without drug names.
- Limits on drug infusion rates are not included.
Configurations and settings accessible in Basic Profile may not be
suitable for all patient groups and protocols.

22
4.1.2 Custom Profiles
Custom profiles can be configured and loaded to the pump with Agilia
Vigilant Drug’Lib software.
A custom profile contains the following:
 a specific device configuration (pump settings that control the
mechanical functions of the pump such as alarm volume, air-in-
line detection, and so on)
 a comprehensive list of medications and fluids to be infused
(optional):
- a drug library: a list with limits on drug infusion rates,
see section 4.2, page 23.
- a drug list: a list without limits on drug infusion rates.
Depending on the way it is pre-configured with Agilia Vigilant Drug’Lib
software, a custom profile may or may not include all of the
functionalities described in this IFU.

Information
 We recommend using a custom profile when infusing critical
drugs.
 We recommend that you create and upload profiles in order to
limit usage errors, and to better adapt the use of the pump to the
local practices of the different care units. For example, make sure
to limit flow rates for sensitive populations.
 We recommend creating a specific profile per patient population
and/or care unit, therapy, protocol, and so on.

4.2 Drug Libraries


A drug library is a comprehensive list of drugs that includes limits on drug
infusion rates.

Information
 Each drug library can support up to 150 drug entries that are
defined and validated by healthcare professionals according to
the drug protocols used at the healthcare facility and/or ward
level.
 Drug settings may be adjusted on the pump according to pre-
defined programming limits, such as dose limits.
 Infusion modes are not adjustable on the pump for drugs pre-
configured with Agilia Vigilant Drug’Lib software.

23
4.3 Drug Lists
A drug list is a list of drugs that does not include limits on drug infusion
rates.

4.4 Drugs
4.4.1 Infusion Rates
A drug can be pre-configured with Agilia Vigilant Drug’Lib software
according to one of the following rates:
 Flow rate: Infusion of a volume over a period of time
 Dose: Infusion of a specific amount of a drug corresponding to a
dose rate

4.4.2 Drug X (mL/h)


Drug X (mL/h) is an open entry that can be selected if the intended drug
is not found in the drug library. It has the following characteristics:
 Fewer limits than the other drugs in the library.
 A full compliment of the Agilia Vigilant Drug’Lib software’s
safeguards are unavailable.
It is strongly recommended to use Drug X (mL/h) in a limited number of
clinical cases and under close patient monitoring by the clinical staff.
For each custom profile, the healthcare facility can enable or disable
Drug X (mL/h) using the Agilia Vigilant Drug’Lib software.

4.4.3 Hard Limits and Soft Limits


Programming limits can be set for each drug with Agilia Vigilant Drug’Lib
software. Two types of limits can be set:
 Hard limits: limits that cannot be overridden when programming
an infusion.
 Soft limits: limits that can be overridden within an authorized
range when programming an infusion. An additional confirmation
will be required.

13 Volumat Lines

13.1 Preparing the Administration Set and the Fluid


Container
Agilia Volumat Lines are supplied sterile and are indicated for single use.
1. Prepare the fluid container according to your
healthcare facility’s protocol.
2. Select a Volumat Line.
3. Check the container, the line and IV access
device integrity.
Refer to the Instructions for Use of the
Volumat Lines for more information on the following elements: name,
description, expiration date, intended use, contraindications,
compatibility between the administration set and the administered fluid
(for example, photosensitive fluids, degassing fluids, etc.)
To use the SafeClip with gravity infusions, see section 13.3.2, page 123.

Warning
 Only use recommended Agilia Volumat Lines. Use of any other
administration sets may affect the accuracy of the infusion, and
result in injury to the patient and damage to the pump.
 Do not use an administration set if its packaging appears to be
damaged or opened.

118
Information
 The fluid in the administration set, the administration set and the
bag or bottle must be within normal operating temperature
conditions: 18 °C to 30 °C.
 Do not use in conjunction with positive pressure infusion devices
that could generate back pressure higher than 2000 hPa
(1500 mmHg): doing so will damage the administration set and
the pump.
 Some administration sets may have components such as a
burette or filter that require special instructions.
 For administration sets with two spikes, only open one line at a
time.
 When administering a manual bolus using Luer lock syringe via
the needle-free downstream port, it is recommended to stop the
infusion and close the Roberts clamp (pinch clamp).
 Certain drugs may require specific administration sets for infusion
or transfusion.
 When using an administration with a filter, verify that the fluid to
be infused is compatible with the size of the filter.
 Follow your healthcare facility’s protocol for installing and
replacing the fluid container.

119
13.2 Priming the Administration Set Before Use
The administration set is primed with fluid to displace air from the set.
It is recommended to prime the administration set immediately before
starting the infusion.
Certain administration sets may require specific priming procedures.
Refer to the specific IFU provided with the administration sets.

Warning
During priming, make sure that the administation set is not connected to
the patient.

13.2.1 With a Bag


The following diagram shows how to prime the administration set with a
bag:

1. Remove the cap from the spike and insert the spike into the bag.
2. After hanging the bag, close the roller clamp.
3. Fill the drip chamber approximately 1/2 full.
4. Slowly open the roller clamp for priming.
Invert the needle-free port while priming, and gently tap the valve to

13.3 Other Uses of Administration Sets
13.3.1 Access Ports
The administration set may be equipped with access ports, that can be
used to connect a gravity line, a secondary line, or administer a manual
bolus (needle-free port).

Figure 13.1: Needle-Free Ports


Legend
1 Upstream port (before the pump)

2 Downstream port (after the pump)

Information
 Use aseptic technique when accessing the ports.
 Stop the infusion before accessing the ports.
 Do not use the upstream access ports to deliver a manual bolus
into the line. They should only be used to connect a secondary
infusion line.
 Do not use the downstream ports to connect a secondary line.
 For multi-line infusions, connect administration sets as close as
possible to the patient.

122
13.3.2 Use of Administration Sets for Gravity Infusion

13.3.2.1 Gravity Infusion (without pump)


In order to use the administration set to infuse the contents of the fluid
container via gravity, without the pump, release the SafeClip as follows:
1. Close the roller clamp.
2. Slide the blue part of the SafeClip to the open position.
3. Adjust the roller clamp on the administration set to regulate gravity
flow.

Closed position after removing Open position


from the pump (stops flow) (allows flow from gravity)

Figure 13.2: Operation of the SafeClip (blue anti-free flow clamp)

123
13.3.2.2 Gravity Infusion in Parallel with a Pump

Figure 13.3: Gravity Infusion (in parallel with a pump)


Information
 Fresenius Kabi recommends the use of a back check valve or
positive pressure infusion devices when an infusion on the pump
is connected to a gravity line. This will prevent the back-up of IV
fluid or medication into the gravity line.
 If there is no back check valve on a gravity infusion line during a
multi-line infusion, it may be impossible to detect patient-side
occlusions. Such an occlusion could cause the pumped drug to
back up into the gravity line, and later be infused in an
uncontrolled manner when the occlusion is released.
 When connecting a pump-based infusion to a gravity line, connect
the pump administration set as close as possible to the patient, to
minimize dead space and the impact of the gravity line flow rate
changes.

124
13.4 Removal and Replacement of

18.10 Trumpet and Start-up Curves


The trumpet curve shows the variation of the mean flow rate accuracy
over specific observation periods. The variations are presented only as
maximum and minimum deviations from the overall mean flow within the
observation window.
Trumpet curves are presented below for a number of representative flow
rates.
The test protocol used to obtain these results is described in ANSI/AAMI
ID26.
The curves can be helpful in determining the suitability of infusion
parameters for specific drugs and concentrations.
Administration set used: VLST00
Fluid used: distilled water
Recommendations to improve performances and safety when the pump
is commonly used at low flow rates (≤ 20 mL/h):
 Limit the range of available flow rates in accordance with the
maximum flow rate to be used.
 Lower the pressure limit in order to gain in time to detect
occlusion.
 For the infusion of very short half-life at flow rate below 5 mL/h,
we recommend using syringe pumps that usually offer better
performances of instant flow rates.
