 DESCRIPTION

The purpose of this manual is to provide information necessary for the maintenance and repair of the
SENTINELplus Enteral Feeding Pump. Refer to the SENTINELplus Operator Manual for additional
description of pump operation. To aid in understanding, all references to keypad and display labels are
shown in boldface type.

The SENTINELplus pump is a rotary peristaltic design, and is capable of pumping all enteral feeding
formula. Key features of the pump are:

* Large displays can be read from a distance

* Total accumulated Dose (DOSE CHECK)
* Formula Free Flow detection and alarm
* Automatic maximum alarm volume during Free Flow alarm
* Rate and Volume stored in non-volatile memory
* Programmable Dose Limit from 5ml to 9999ml
* Low occlusion pressure
* Self-Test Mode
* Built-in pole clamp
* AC powered with Battery back-up operation
* Smooth enclosure surfaces for ease of cleaning
* Secure delivery set retention
* Delivery and Battery Operation service accessible history
* Display brightness control for night/battery use

HOLD MODE
In this non-pumping mode the Infusion Rate display flashes on and off, signaling inactivity. A flow rate is
programmed by pressing the UP or Down key, changing the Infusion Rate display. The right side display
normally shows Volume Delivered, the running volume total. Pressing CLEAR while viewing Volume
Delivered causes "cLr" to appear in the left display; after the second beep, the value clears. Pressing the SET
key causes the Dose Limit value to be shown in the right display, along with "doS/SEt" in the left display.
While being shown, Dose Limit can be changed by pressing UP or Down, or cleared after the second beep
while holding CLEAR. After three seconds with no key being pressed, the right display automatically returns to
displaying Volume Delivered.

Pressing DOSE CHECK shows total accumulated volume, along with "tOt" in left display. It can be
cleared with CLEAR while being viewed.

Volume Delivered, Dose Limit, and Infusion Rate may all be cleared at the same time by pressing and
holding CLEAR for about 6 seconds (after 7 beeps). Leaving the pump in the Hold Mode for more than 2.5
minutes without pressing a key will cause a “StOP” alarm.

RUN MODE
Pressing the RUN/STOP switch while in Hold Mode causes the pump to begin pumping fluid through the
tubing set, producing drops in the drip chamber. Drops are detected when they interrupt an IR beam passing
through the drip chamber. The motor rotation is duty-cycled to produce the programmed flow rate. While
pumping, Volume Delivered displays milliliters pumped since last cleared. When Volume Delivered is equal
to or greater than the

CONTROLLED 3 of 27
programmed Dose Limit value, the pump rotor will stop, the alarm will beep two times every 2½ minutes, and
the Dose Comp LED will continuously flash along with the Volume Delivered display.

An insufficient drop rate or blocked delivery tubing will generate an Occlusion/Empty alarm, while an
excessive drip rate will cause a Free Flow alarm, with a distinctive audible alarm at maximum volume, and the
text "FLO FASt" appearing in the display.

Pump operation may be stopped at any time by pressing RUN/STOP, causing the pump to enter Hold
Mode. Attempting to start the pump with Volume Delivered equal to or greater then the Dose Limit will
cause an immediate alarm.

DOSE CHECK
DOSE CHECK allows monitoring of long term volume infusion, up to 10 liters. It is useful for long-
term dose monitoring, as it is cleared separately from Volume Delivered.

MEMORY
When the pump is first turned on, Infusion Rate, Volume Delivered, Dose Limit, and total accumulated
dose are recalled from EEPROM memory and are used as current values until changed or cleared. This
non-volatile memory aids in quick set-up for repeat usage on the same patient.

 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

CLEANING

Cleaning consists of removing any spillage from the pump housing, rotor, rollers, control panel, and drop sensor.

WARNING:

DISCONNECT THE PUMP FROM AC POWER SOURCE BEFORE

CLEANING TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK!

PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO ALCOHOL, HOUSEHOLD DETERGENTS OR

STRONG CLEANERS COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE PUMP HOUSING!

DO NOT IMMERSE PUMP IN ANY LIQUID! DO

NOT AUTOCLAVE!
CHECK EFFECT OF CLEANING AGENTS BEFORE GENERAL USE!
DO NOT USE CLEANING AGENTS THAT ARE HARMFUL TO POLYCARBONATE PLASTIC.

1. Using a damp cloth or sponge, clean the pump housing and rollers with warm soapy water. Clean the
drop sensor parts with soft cotton swabs and isopropyl alcohol or warm soapy water.

2. Check that the rollers rotate freely. If they do not rotate easily, clean them as described in steps 3
to 8.

3. Loosen the set screw with a 3/32" Allen wrench and pull the pump rotor from its shaft.

4. Submerge the entire rotor in warm soapy water until rollers move freely.

5. After cleaning, align pump rotor with the flat on the motor shaft.

6. Push the rotor on the shaft, and use 0.125” Feeler Gauge between rotor and case.

7. Tighten the set screw. Warning: excess torque can strip rotor threads.

FUNCTIONAL TESTS

These tests check operation of the motor, microcontroller, display, keys, audible alarm and drop sensor

NOTE: requires one disposable bag set or continuous loop test set.

1. Test Mode Check

1.1. Turn pump on

1.2. To enter the Test Mode, press UP and hold until 295ml/hr is displayed. Release and press UP and
hold for five seconds. The pump rotor turns continuously and the number 8 scrolls across the displays.
1.3. Press any switch except ON or OFF. Each time a switch is pressed and released, the motor stops,
the alarm sounds, and all LEDs light. Check each switch.
1.4. Insert test set with water, count the drops entering the drip chamber. As each drop of water enters
the drip chamber, the 3 LED’s should illuminate, the rotor stops, and alarm beeps. Count 25 drops.
NOTE! Each drop entering the drip chamber must be detected!
1.5. Press OFF to exit the Test Mode.

Any failure indicates further service must be performed to locate the malfunction.

2. No-Occlusion Check

2.1. Install test set with water (or test loop) in pump.
2.2. Press SET button; immediately press UP button until Dose Limit (right display) reaches 22.
2.3. Press Dose Check button; “tot” should appear on left display, and right display shows total
accumulated volume. Remember this value.
2.4. Set Infusion Rate to 295 ml/hr.
2.5. Press RUN/STOP button and let pump deliver 22 ml. When done, pump should alarm and
indicator LED “Dose Comp” flashes.
2.6. Press RUN/STOP to silence alarm.
2.7. Press Dose Check; “tot” should appear in left display.
The rate in the right display should have increased by 22 ml.
2.8. Press OFF button.

3. Motor Speed Check

Check motor speed by measuring the time required for the pump rotor to make ten revolutions while in the
Test Mode, as described above. To aid in counting, put a small piece of tape on one of the rotor lobes. Ten
revolutions take 38 seconds. Only one measurement is required to verify correct motor operation.

4. Occlusion Alarm Check

Without the drip chamber in place, set the Rate to 295 ml/hr and press RUN/STOP to start the
pump. An occlusion alarm should occur after approximately 5 revolutions of the rotor.

 THEORY OF OPERATION
--------------------

GENERAL

The basic operating Modes are:

1. Hold Mode (all keys functional)

2. Run Mode (only RUN/STOP and SET keys functional)
3. Alarm Mode (only RUN/STOP functional)
4. Test Mode (entered from Hold Mode, must turn pump off to exit)

The OFF key is functional in all modes.

SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION

At power-on, the microcontroller recalls the previous values of Infusion Rate, Dose Limit, Volume
Delivered, and DOSE CHECK. This allows quick set- up for repeated operation and prevents loss of values if
OFF is inadvertently pressed. After displaying the initial values, a single beep of the audible alarm is
performed as a safety check to insure it is functional.

After entering the Hold Mode, an alarm will occur after 2½ minutes of inactivity (no key presses). This is
used as a reminder to the operator that the pump has not been started. The 2½ minute timer is reset after
each key press while in Hold Mode.

Clearing of Volume Delivered is achieved by pressing CLEAR (“cLr” displayed) while viewing the value.
The pump will beep once, wait 1½ seconds, then, if still pressed, a double beep occurs and the value is
cleared to 0. Additionally, Volume Delivered, Dose Limit, and Infusion Rate will all clear if CLEAR is held
for four more beeps (approximately 6 seconds). The word "ALL" appears in the left display. After a final 1½
sec, another dual beep and all parameters EXCEPT DOSE CHECK will be cleared to their lowest allowed
value.

From Hold mode, pressing RUN/STOP once starts pump. The rotor will turn. The intermittent rotation of the
pump rotor has a constant period of 1.9sec, regardless of the selected Rate. Only the duty cycle is varied.
The speed of the rotor during an "on" cycle is always the same and corresponds to a theoretical rate of
354ml/hr. The duty cycle (percentage of "on" to "off" time) is changed to vary the actual delivery rate. At
295ml/hr the motor operates at 100% duty cycle, at 147ml/hr the duty cycle is 50%, etc. Accuracy of the
motor speed, and hence the theoretical fluid flow rate, is determined by the crystal-controlled microprocessor.

During each first milliliter delivered, the drop sensor is disabled to help avoid false alarms by allowing any
final priming of the feeding set. After the first 1ml, drop monitoring is activated via the photo IC / infrared LED.
After the initial 1ml allowance for priming, if the motor is driven 1925 steps without detecting a drop, an
Occ/Emp alarm is generated. The motor is stopped and the audible alarm is activated. This will occur if no

 THEORY OF OPERATION
--------------------
drops fall to break the drop sensor light path. This is caused by either an empty feeding bag or a tubing
occlusion.

Free Flow alarms are generated by three different conditions: drop sensor blockage for 9 seconds (e.g.
fluid streaming), excessive drop rate, and falling drop detection during a periodic rotor pause. "FLO FASt"
appears in the displays, and a triple note/dual tone beep is generated always at maximum volume.

If a Dose Limit has been set while in Hold Mode, then the microprocessor continuously compares Volume
Delivered to the set limit. When Volume Delivered equals the Dose Limit, a Dose Complete Alarm
occurs, where the alarm beeps two times every 2½ minutes. The pump remains idle, flashing the Dose
Comp LED. Entering Run Mode with Dose Limit set to a value less than the current Volume Delivered will
cause an immediate Dose Complete Alarm.

While operating on battery, voltage is monitored during all pump modes and when the voltage drops below a
nominal 11.2VDC, the Bat LED flashes.
Because the battery voltage drops slightly when the motor is on, the voltage level is valid only during motor
"off" cycles in the pumping mode. The Bat LED begins flashing almost immediately after detecting low charge
voltage, and remains on for approximately 15 minutes before generating a single-tone, beeping alarm.
Pumping stops during a Low Battery Alarm. Note that the 15-minute timer re-starts if the pump is turned off
then back on, which could cause battery charge depletion before alarming.

If SET is pressed during Run, the current Dose Limit value is displayed for approximately 2
seconds on the Volume Delivered/Dose Limit display. If RUN/STOP is pressed, pumping stops and the
pump enters Hold Mode. If any other key is pressed during Run a beep will occur signaling an invalid key
press.

In any Alarm Mode the microprocessor stops the motor, flashes both displays, and beeps the alarm at a rate
and frequency dependent upon alarm type. When RUN/STOP is pressed, the audible alarm stops, and the
pump enters the Hold Mode. Any indicator LEDs that were lit as a result of the alarm condition remain lit as a
reminder of what caused the alarm.
Pressing RUN/STOP (re-starting the motor) will cause any of the alarm LEDs to be extinguished.

To control the LEDs and numerical displays, microcontroller U1 sends commands to the display controller
U12. The display controller also modulates the display brightness. The brightness level can be reduced by
pressing and holding UP and SET simultaneously until display dims. The default level is high when power
is cycled off then on.

 THEORY OF OPERATION
--------------------

HARDWARE DESCRIPTION

Primary Power for the pump is provided by either AC mains voltage or the internal sealed lead-
acid(SLA)battery. For AC power mode, the mains voltage is reduced to a nominal 18 volts DC. This regulated
DC voltage is used both to power the pump and charge the battery. When the wall power supply is energized
by plugging in the AC mains, regulated DC voltage is divided by R6/R7 and presents a HI to the
microcontroller U1, indicating that AC voltage is present. This signal is used by U1 to control the Bat LED. V+
is logically OR'ed by D4 and D5 which permits operation from the line voltage, if present, or the battery. If line
voltage is present D4 is forward biased allowing a charge current to flow into the battery. When the input line
voltage is removed, D4 is reverse biased and all current from the battery flows through D5. Thus there is
always uninterrupted DC power for pump operation. V+ is always present at the supply switching latch, U5.

The rechargeable lead-acid battery is a nominal 12 volt/1.2 to 1.3 amp- hour unit and is fused at 2 amps
for board protection by F1, which is solder-mounted to the PC board. The battery is charged by precision
regulator U10 through D5. As the voltage level on the battery increases with increasing charge, U10
charging current diminishes. At full battery charge only 20-30 milliamps to flow to the battery. The battery
voltage can range from near 0VDC (loaded, fully discharged) to approximately 13.5VDC (fully charged).
U10 charging current is self-limiting to a maximum of approximately 250 mA. The 1% resistors, R15 and
R17, accurately set U10 to the nominal 13.5VDC charge voltage.

To monitor a low battery condition, the U14-switched supply voltage is scaled down by R20/R21 and applied
to voltage detector IC, U13. The result is U13 output goes HI when its input drops below 4V. This
corresponds to a battery voltage of 11.2V. The HI level is detected by microcontroller U1 which flashes the
Bat LED and beeps alarm.

The power control R-S latch U5 is always powered, either by AC line or directly from the battery. U5
presents an ultra-low current drain to the battery, and therefore is not a factor in determining battery
operating time. When the pump is in the off state, the output U5-A of the power control latch is HI which
turns off transistor Q4. When the ON key is pressed, U5-A goes LO, turning on Q1 and allows current to
flow into the
+5VDC regulator U14. The +5V powers the pump circuit. Power-on also generates a relatively slowly rising
voltage to the microcontroller RESET line via C3. The forces a normal start sequence for the pump
software.

The microcontroller U1 controls all actions of the pump. It monitors inputs from the keypad, drop
sensor, battery voltage, and ac on/off. It controls outputs including driving the stepper motor, generating
the audible alarms, illuminating LEDs and displaying alpha and numerical information. It executes
instructions fetched from EPROM memory, U3.
Addresses are provided via multiplexed data/address lines DB0-7, and latched address lines A8-A11.
The low-order 8 bits of all addresses are latched by U2. Instructions are then read in on DB0-7.

CONTROLLED
 THEORY OF OPERATION
--------------------
Unipolar stepper motor drive is delivered to the four motor phases by current-sink drivers U8 and U9. Vs
(+12v)00 is always applied to one side of each motor winding. Windings are then activated two at a time in a
four step sequence by active LO's from drivers, controlled in turn by active HI's from U1.

Non-volatile memory data storage is accomplished by EEPROM. On shut-down (power off) microcontroller
U1 serially transmits all memory parameters to EEPROM, U6. At power on, microcontroller fetches
parameters from EEPROM, U6.

The drop sensor consists of an infrared emitter LED and light modulating photo detector IC. The light
modulation photo IC consists of an oscillator, a timing generator, an LED driver, a photodiode, a
preamplifier, a comparator, a signal processing circuit and an output circuit. All functions are integrated on
a monolithic chip. Optical synchronous detection is achieved by connecting the infrared LED to the photo
IC. In optical synchronous detection, signal light is modulated in pulses and detected in synchronization
with the modulation timing. Noise generated by background light is eliminated. When the light path is
obstructed by falling liquid drops, P3-3 connected to U1-13 goes to a logic HI. It remains LO when the path
is clear.

The audio alarm consists a piezo buzzer driven by the combination of U11, L1, C16. The frequency of the
audio tone is generated by the microcontroller. A logic level signal to U11-2 sets the alarm volume to either
high or low level. The default volume level for annunciation is low volume, and all alarms conditions are at
high level.

Keyboard functions are buffered by U4 which sends information along databus DB0-DB7, with timing
controlled by Microcontroller U1. U4 also detects active LO signal KSCAN to "read" the status of the
keyboard. When one of the front panel keys is pressed, the KSCAN signal will appear at one of U4's
keyboard inputs via shorting action of the key, thus allowing U1 to decode which key was pressed.

The displays consist of seven LED segment digits and four (4) discrete LEDs. The eight digit display driver,
U12, decodes serial data from U1 and causes appropriate segments or LEDs to illuminate. The discrete LEDs
are treated as the eighth digit with respect to the driver U12. Display drive current is multiplexed to reduce
overall drive current and pin count. The maximum segment current is controlled by R22. U12 also allows
programming of drive currents that are less than the maximum. This feature has been utilized as a brightness
control. Pressing and holding the UP and SET simultaneously toggles the display brightness.
