It gets an honourable mention in passing on page 2-11.

To be honest, compared with some (many) "modern" manuals I have seen, that one appears quite comprehensive.

Hello

Frank also does the Operators Manual; try page 12.

Hi Lee,

Thanks for your reply,

There is no information on page 12,(A fault is displayed as a SYRINGE ALARM)I would be much appreciated if someone tell me how a drive unit(Syringe Plunger)alignment can be done.

I am 100% sure that the fault comes from the drive unit(Syringe Plunger).

Hi Geoff,

Thanks for your reply.


Sorry,but I read all the pages on service manual and user manual but no information found regards SYRINGE ALARM error.

I am 100% sure that the problem comes from the drive unit(Syringe Plunger)do you know if there is any alignments what can I do?

Hello Techice

Page 12 says under Operating alarms

"Syringe alarm
Fault on syringe replacement? Manipulation of
syringe holder during infusion?"

So presumably you need to be looking at what ever systems monitor that a syringe is in place and possibly the sensor for detecting the size of the syringe.

Hello Lee,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I see this notice as well. But not the syringe holder for sure. I replaced with another drive unit(Syringe plunger)and the syringe pump works well.

In fact I perform a syringe holder(Syringe clamp)calibration to make sure that works good.

I think something in the drive unit(Syringe plunger)like a calibration or alignment.

Hello Techie

On the Perfusor Space version there is a sensor in the drive head that detects contact with the syringe plunger and the position of the claws is also monitored.

If the FM is the same; then your fault could have been either of those.
