EBME Forums Forums Maintenance Technical Assistance Braun Infusomat Space

Hello again boys! It is not a long time since the last post here and I think still actual. We have another expirience with these Spaces in our hospital...There are more then 300 machines here. Bcarlisle, we have had problems with air alarm, too. It started in the same time B.Braun change the plasticizer in the IV sets (beacuse of the DEHP risk). We noted dozens air sensor false alarams and, what more, about 30 demages of air sensor. From begining, the B.Braun service dept. does not want to take responsibility for these incidents. Now after one year, they changed the internal design of the air sensor and solve this problem on their own costs, here. The problem with a broken safety clamp persists. And there is a problem with an infuison and desinfection solution leakage throuht the operating unit flat cable into the device mainboard. This leads to the mainboard demage. Anyway, please, lets make it better, B.Braun...

we have had these pumps for about 5 years if you want to discuss please feel free to call 01493 452468.

We have just trialled this pump and this is a nightmare to work on and equally what about the cost ompact of the smart cells when the cycle advice is not followed. Money makes the world go round. Eually the mains adaptor is this really practical?
Not for us...

Also the company,management and rep are real delboy's and the costs for service are not good. (This is an observation only)

absolutely correct.I also noticed that to those second or third party company...in the future become head ache of in house BioMed.

Heres just two of our boxes. They just happen to be in a F&P box.

I'll bet you the rep says " you are the only one getting these issues, we can't understand it."

Broken pole clamps, unfit for purpose power supplies and change all the boards inside at the slightest hint of a problem.

When these are out of support I will have a job for life fixing them as long as the spares can be afforded.

Quite the oposite experience here. Had a load for a year and hardly any problems except with the power supply which we warned was an older model with known problems. These are swapped out for free if they fail which they rarely do.

Ours were fine for the first year and they go through cycles of breakage. Do you have the new type safety clamp as the old ones get broken very easily. Have to agree that the power supply is rubbish, although they now say they potting them. Our concern from the outset was the power supply. As we all know the wards lose stuff all the time and the supplies are no different except an IEC lead is £2 compared to a £70 supply. The supplies are also electrically noisey which affects our ecgs if attached to the patient. There is no earthing in them if anyone has not had one apart.
The clamps, dont know how many have nursing tape keeping the together on the wards.
