1. Introduction
1.4 Essential Performance Testing

The essential performance of the ARGUS 71x V can be tested for
functionality as follows:
• Alarming - during start-up, check to ensure that the status
LED shortly lights up red and a short beep is emitted.
• Nurse Call - ensure that the nurse call configuration parameter
is enabled (see Sections „3.9. Parameter Control“ and „5.5.1.
Configuration Parameters“). Then connect the ARGUS 71x V
to a nurse call system, insert an infusion set and initiate an
alarm on the pump. The nurse call system should indicate an
alarm. If access to a nurse call system is not possible, then
follow the above steps and listen for the clicking sound of the
relay switch from within the ARGUS 71x V which indicates
the activation of the nurse call.
These tests are to be performed as part of the Safety Standard

Check (SSC) (see Sections „1.3. Safety Notification“ and „11.
Safety Standard Check (SSC)“).
1.5 Accessories
The accessories available are listed in the catalogue „Spare parts
&Accessories“. See www.codanargus.com/Downloads.
WARNING
The ARGUS 71x V may only be used with spare parts and
accessories recommended by CODAN ARGUS AG. The functional
safety of the device is not guaranteed if non approved materials
or spare parts are used. The safety of the patient may be
endangered.

1. Introduction
1.6 System Overview

The ARGUS 71x V can be used in different combinations of
systems with CODAN ARGUS docking stations and pumps. For
charging, a docking station ARGUS 60 P, ARGUS 100 P, ARGUS
300 P, ARGUS 500 P and ARGUS 600 P can be used.
For systems with the ability to communicate (e.g. PDMS) the

ARGUS 71x V support the ARGUSprotocol. So they are compatible
to docking stations ARGUS 60 P, ARGUS 100 M, ARGUS 300 M,
ARGUS 500 M, ARGUS 600 M and infusion pumps ARGUS 606
S, ARGUS 600 S and ARGUS 707 V and ARGUS 708 V.
It is possible to connect the pump to a staff alert system (nurse

call system). This can be done directly over the nurse call
connection on the rear side of the pump (see Section “Overview”
enumeration 16.) or over a docking station which is able to
forward the alarm over the interface connection (see Section
“Overview” enumeration 15.)
To configure, the pump can be connected to a medical PC. Typical

connection is over a serial cable to the edge board interface on
the rear side of the pump (see 14. in Section “Overview”). It’s
also possible to establish a connection over LAN (see 17. in
Section “Overview”). For this an ethernet interface board is
necessary.
For use with a barcode scanner a bluetooth interface board is

necessary (depends of the main board version).

checked at every switching on and off of the pump. The test is successfully completed when every
key was pressed once and when the check-mark is displayed.
LED AND BACKLIGHT This test verifies all light media. The test is successfully completed if all light media have shone as
indicated on the display.
5.2 Set Calibration

The set calibration consists of volume and pressure calibration
and is necessary after configuration of a new infusion set.
The volumetric infusion pumps ARGUS 71x V contain two

pressure sensors. The upstream sensor on the side of the
medication container (left input) and the downstream sensor on
the patient’s side (right output). The pressure calibration can be
performed directly on the pump (see Section „5.1.3. Pressure
Calibration“). After each pressure calibration a control
measurement is recommended (see Section „11.3. Pressure
Control Measurement“).
For pressure calibration and control measurement the following

equipment is needed:
• a manometer with a scaling of 0.1 bar
• a 3-way stop cock and a clamping shears
• the chosen infusion set
For the volume calibration, there are two ways to calibrate. It is

possible to either enter the correction factor directly on the device
(see Section „5.1.2. Volume Calibration“) or to use the CODAN
ARGUSservice PC utility tool (see Section „3.6.4.3. Volume
Calibration“). After each volume calibration a control
measurement is recommended (see Section „11.2. Volume
Control Measurement“).
For volume calibration and control measurement the following

equipment is needed:
• a scale with a minimum resolution of 0.1g
• the chosen infusion set
This notification in normal mode reminds the user to calibrate the

infusion set:

5. Maintenance
Notice
• The ARGUS 71x V can be used with a maximum of 4 different
infusion sets.
• Before an infusion set can be calibrated on the pump, it must
be configured by CODAN ARGUSservice utility. The parameter
“Enable infusion set” must be checked in order to perform a
calibration of the infusion set. See Section „3.6.3.
Configuration of infusion sets“.
WARNING
• Unless otherwise specified by the customer, the ARGUS 71x V
will be calibrated by the manufacturer with the CODAN
standard set. Other infusion sets have to be calibrated
separately.
• Only infusion sets being validated and approved by
CODAN ARGUS AG shall be used. For an up-to-date list
please contact CODAN ARGUS AG.
• After configuration of a new infusion set, pressure and
volume calibration are mandatory.
• A pressure calibration is necessary when a pressure sensor or
the main board was replaced before.
• If the pressure control measurement is not accurate, a
pressure calibration is recommended.
5.3 Technical Errors
