DISADVANTAGES OF T34
[ When compared with Graseby ]
• Weight
• Size
• Battery life
ADVANTAGES OF T34
• SINGLE MODEL, THEREFORE NO CONFUSION
• 3 POINT CONTACT DETECTION• SYRINGE RECOGNITION• AUTOMATIC CALCULATION• LCD AND INSTRUCTIONS• PUMP CAN BE CONFIGURED• LOG EVENT MEMORY• SUPERIOR RANGE OF ALARMS
Dock / Connection Port
Check Service Date
Open Battery Compartment
T34-Battery fitting and Testing
• 9 volt alkaline or lithium battery only.• Variation in size between different
brands (do not force into compartment)• Battery Test
– Switch the pump on– Press INFO key– Select battery life using ↓↑ keys,
press YES– Verify sufficient battery power for
programme. – Replace when battery level 35% or
below
T 34 Keypad
1. INFO; access event log, Set Up (code protected), battery status, keypad lock.
2. UP/DOWN arrow keys- scroll through options3. YES/START key- confirms selection/starts infusion. 4. NO/STOP- step back a screen/stops infusion.5. FF (forward)-moves actuator forward6. BACK-moves actuator back7. ON/OFF
Instructions
L.C.D. Screen
T34 LCD Screen
• 4 Line Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)• Backlit – activated on any key press (time adjust/
disable)• Displays infusion parameters and user instructions
T34- 3 Point Contact Recognition and Syringe Loading
1. Barrel clamp arm- (detects syringe size/width of barrel, secures)
2. Syringe ear/collar sensor (detects secure loading of syringe collar)
3. Plunger sensor (detects secure loading of syringe plunger)

Access Codes and Keypad Lock• Secure user access codes (2) - prevent misuse• Access codes not provided to local users as it is envisaged that all
subcutaneous infusions in palliative care will run over a 24 hour period
• Keypad lock– Press and hold INFO key to lock, repeat to unlock
Infusion set up and Programming
• Draw up prescribed medication and diluent to a minimum volume of 12 millilitres in the syringe. The volume may need to be greater than this in some circumstances.
• Manually prime the extension set and Saf-t-intima set.• DO NOT load syringe, ensure barrel clamp bar is down. • Switch the pump on.• Screen displays the following …..Pre-Loading…. message
•when pre-load has finished use the FF or BACK keys to adjust the actuator position if required (forward movement limited + no clutch)
Syringe Placement• Lift the barrel clamp• Seat syringe collar/ear and
plunger so the back of the collar/ear sits against the back of the central slot (ensure correct placement)
• Lower barrel clamp arm• Screen syringe graphic
ceases to flash at each point as syringe is correctly seated.
• If any point continues to flash, check the placement at that point.
Syringe Detection and Confirmation
• confirm syringe size and brand match screen message. Press YES key to confirm or scroll to view closest matches
Summary Screen and Starting the Pump
• The summary screen confirms:– Volume to be infused– Duration of infusion– Rate (ml/h)
• Press YES to confirm
• Pump prompts START INFUSION?
• Check line is connected to access device or insert cannulae, ensure clamp is off and press YES to start infusion
• What are the indicators that the pump is infusing?
Running Screen• Top line - Infusion Duration remaining is displayed • Main line - Infusion rate is displayed in ml/hr• Bottom line alternates between syringe size/brand and the
message <<<< pump delivering (in case keypad LED disabled)• Green LED indicator (above ON/OFF key) flashes. (frequency
fixed in Change Set up mode/ can be disabled to extend battery life)
Program Lock• If the Program Lock is ON
– Pre-set duration is locked ( at 24 hours )– User cannot change VTBI, volume to be infused. (entire syringe contents
will be delivered)– User cannot change infusion rate calculated by the pump
• Infusion Summary Screen is displayed immediately after syringe confirmation
• Check & Confirm Infusion Parameters and Start Infusion
Recommended Checks During Infusion
• Check the display- pump is delivering & infusion rate is as programmed
• Press the INFO key to check -– Single press – VTBI &
VI (volume infused)– Double press- battery
life remaining

Syringe Displaced Syringe has been removed or displaced
Check & Confirm syringe seated correctly and Resume
Pump Unattended Pump left or no key presses detected for 2 minutes
Start infusion, continue programming or switch off
Near End 15 minutes from end of infusion
Prepare to change syringe or switch off
End Program Infusion Complete Pump will either default to KVO, await nurse, or alarm, switch pump off
Low battery Battery is almost depleted (30 minutes left)
Prepare to change battery
End Battery Battery is depleted Change battery
TroubleshootingFault Possible Cause Action
The pump will not start No battery present
Battery inserted incorrectly
Battery is depleted/very low
Pump is faulty
Fit a battery
Re-align battery terminals
Fit a new battery
Service required
Infusion ended early/going too quickly
Incorrect rate set
Wrong syringe brand confirmed during set up
Pump faulty or incorrectly calibrated
Check displayed rate against prescription change if necessary
Ensure correct understanding of user/educate
Service/calibration required
The pump has stopped before emptying syringe
Exhausted battery
Faulty pump
Fit new battery, turn pump on, confirm syringe size and brand select to resume infusion
Return for service
Patient Safety
• Optional accessories available:– Rigid lockbox (with key) for all syringes up to
30ml– Carry pouch to protect pump and/or lockbox
• Use of these accessories protects the syringe pump, syringe and contents from damage and/or tampering
Inspection and Maintenance
• Inspect Box contents– Damage– Missing items
• Cleaning - damp cloth, weak 10% bleach solution to decontaminate, do not immerse in any fluid
• In case of malfunction make a written note of: -– Pump serial number (see back of unit)– Circumstances (as detailed as possible)– screen messages/error codes (press info key to

WARNING !•When changing infusion switch the pump OFF.
•This screen will appear if the battery goes flat and is replaced without the syringe being removed or if the syringe contents are changed and the pump is not switched off [but just stopped].
•‘NO for new program’ always defaults to 24hrs. ‘Yes to resume’ protects the prescription i.e. it continues at the same rate [volume and time may change].
