This Pump does not have an air in-line alarm. A Cassette with an air elimination filter is available.
Safety hazards with the ambIT Pump including under infusion may be associated with external radio
frequency interference (RFI) or electromagnetic radiation. Typical equipment which may generate such
radiation include x-ray machines, MRI equipment, and any other non-shielded electrical equipment.
Use of any remote bolus switch other than the approved Summit Medical Products Remote Bolus Button
could result in an inadvertent bolus dose.
Do not use any other administration set other than the approved ambIT Cassettes. Pump will not function
properly with any other administration sets.
No modification of this equipment is allowed.
5
Sect ion 1 • Intr oduction
Cassette tubing or bolus chord may cause strangulation if used improperly.
If equipment is tampered with to the point where it is ineffective, consult your physician.
Keep out of reach of animals or children.
The ambIT® Pump Cassette is a sterile, disposable administration set.
•Carefully examine each Cassette before use. Make sure there are no damaged, or missing parts.
•Do not use a Cassette if the outer package is torn, punctured, wet or damaged.
•Do not touch sterile open end of tubing. Use aseptic technique.
•Do not re-sterilize Cassette.
Protection from air infusion:
•The solution must be provided in a non-vented, collapsible container.
•Remove all air from solution container and tubing before use.
Safety hazards are associated with the interconnection of other infusion systems. Refer to: Terry, Judy
(Ed.), Intravenous Therapy, W. B. Sanders Co. 1995, pp 192–193.
The Cassette should not be used for infusion volumes greater than two (2) liters.
In order to minimize the possibility of infection, Cassettes should be changed in accordance with your
institution’s policies.
When the desired volume to be infused has been delivered, the empty solution container must be
changed. Failure to do so may result in cessation of fluid delivery.
Before starting therapy, check that all connections are secure and there are no leaks in the fluid path.
Bolus and infusion history reports should never take the place of good clinical judgment. Always perform a
clinical evaluation whenever interpreting these reports.
Infusing viscous solutions (e.g. D25W) into high pressures (e.g. approaching 300mm Hg) may decrease
volumetric accuracy.
Protection from Unintended Bolus:
The unintended bolus volume that could be released into a patient prior to clearing a downstream
occlusion may be released by breaking the seal on luer connection between the pump and the catheter.
Breaking the luer connection between the catheter and the pump may introduce contamination into the
fluid path. Do not try to clear the unintended bolus volume if any concerns exist with regard to introducing
contamination.
The maximum unintended bolus volume released into the patient when occluded on the downstream side
is between 0.05-0.10 ml. A single stroke of one infusion is 0.05 ml. Since these amounts are similiar, there
is no risk of over infusing and the unintended bolus may not need to be removed.

1.3 Overview and Indications for Use
The ambIT® Family of Pumps are designed for the ambulatory infusion of fluids and medications. The Pumps have simple controls
that are easily operated by both caregivers and patients. References to the Remote Bolus Switch apply only to pumps with the Remote
BOLUS Port. See page i to determine if pump has a Remote BOLUS Switch Option. The operator position with respect to the device is
considered arms length (no more than 0.5 meters direct view).
There are three categories of pumps within this manual: PreSet, Continuous, and PCA. The PreSet Category of pumps contain five
programming options on the back of the pump. Continuous pumps allow for continuous infusion. All other pumps are PCA pumps. Below
are the indications for use and descriptions of these three categories. Please see Section 9 for individual pump specifications.
Note: Any use of the Pump other than those indicated below is regarded as an off-label use. None of the ambIT Pumps are
equipped with an air detection circuit, therefore if infusion of air could cause harm to the patient, it is recommended to use a
filtered cassette or air elimination filter.
Note: Summit Medical Products, Inc. does not recommend or endorse any one specific medication to be used with the ambIT®
Family of Pumps. The medical provider is the sole individual who decides upon the prescribed medication, pump programmed
parameters, method and location of infusion.
Note: The suitability of this product for use with any specific patient is to be determined solely by the healthcare provider.
The healthcare provider should understand the interaction between the infusion characteristics of the Pump, the physiological
response of a patient to the drug (overall and at the infusion site), the pharmacokinetics of the drug, any potential adverse effects,
etc. in order to decide if the Pump should be used to infuse any medication into any part of a specific patient’s body. The sales
people and manufacturer of the ambIT® Pump can only provide general guidelines regarding the set up and programming of the
Pump, and may also provide journal articles referring to applications. They are neither qualified nor permitted to provide specific
recommendations for treating any specific patient. In general, in order to avoid complications, use the lowest flow rate, volume
and drug concentration required to produce the desired result.
PreSet Pumps
The ambIT® Pumps with PreSet Settings are intended for use by surgeons and anesthesiologists for the perioperative and post
operative infusion of local anesthetics and narcotics for pain management and regional anesthesia. Routes of administration
include intravenous, subcutaneous, intramuscular, perineural and epidural. The ambIT® Pumps with PreSet Settings are also
intended to significantly decrease narcotic use and pain when used to deliver local anesthetics to surgical wound sites or in close
proximity to nerves when compared with narcotic only pain management.
The ambIT® Pumps with PreSet Settings should be used with filtered cassettes for IV and epidural uses. Otherwise non-filtered
cassettes may be suitable for use. These pumps simplify pump programming by providing the clinician with the option to choose from
four (4) preprogrammed infusion protocols (PRO1 - PRO4), or to program infusion parameters individually (PRO5).
Using Program 5, the clinician may select different delivery profiles, which include: basal rate only, basal rate with patient controlled
bolus, or patient controlled bolus only.
Note for PreSet Pumps: Some ambIT® Pumps with PreSet Settings have a limited life of 2000 ml total infusion. Once 2000 ml has
been reached, the Pump will continue to infuse uninterrupted as programmed, until the current infusion program is complete. After the
infusion beyond 2000 ml has been completed, the next time the Pump is powered on the ALARM icon
and “EEE” will appear in the
display, indicating that the Pump has reached its end of life, and must be replaced.
PCA Pumps
The ambIT PCA Pumps are intended for use by a physician or by a trained individual under direct supervision of a physician. The
ambIT PCA Pump is used to infuse medicines and/ or fluids into patients primarily for pain management. Modes of action are
generally intravenous, epidural and/ or regional.
The ambIT® PCA Pumps should only be used with filtered cassettes because air detection is not available for IV applications. They
do not include PreSet settings. The clinician may select different delivery profiles, which include: basal rate only, basal rate with
PCA (Patient Controlled Analgesia) bolus, or PCA bolus only.
Continuous Pumps
The ambIT® Continuous Pumps should only be used with filtered cassettes because air detection is not available for IV
applications. They are intended for continuous volumetric delivery of intravenous medicines and/ or fluids into patients at a
consistent volume for prescriptive treatment by a physician (or veterinarian for Vet Pumps). These pumps contain no bolus
feature.

The Pump program is determined by selecting the desired parameters
during PROGRAM MODE. A specific combination of pressing the Pump’s
buttons allows the user to access PROGRAM MODE. This specific
combination of pressing buttons is designed to prevent inadvertent or
unauthorized adjustments.
The RUN/PAUSE button is located just below the Pump display. This
button is used to start, pause, or resume the infusion, and to silence
alarms. The RUN/PAUSE button toggles between RUN MODE and
PAUSE MODE. A blinking green RUN light (inside the BOLUS or
FUNCTION button) and “ml” (volume infused) in the Pump display indicate
that the Pump is infusing. The table in Section 7 of this manual completely
describes each alarm and signal.
If the infusion is paused, a flashing PAUSE icon ( l l ) appears in the Pump
display and two (2) beeps sound every four (4) minutes, indicating that the
Pump infusion has been temporarily stopped.
The BOLUS or FUNCTION button is located below the RUN/PAUSE
button. When the BOLUS button is pressed during RUN MODE, the Pump
will deliver the programmed bolus dose. During bolus delivery, the green
RUN light (inside the BOLUS button) will double blink.
ambIT® Cassette
The Cassette contains a rotary mechanism that pumps the infusion
solution at an accurate and controlled rate.
During Cassette priming, fluid will flow freely through the tubing (Figure 1).
Top View of Cassette
(Figure 1)
After priming, snapping the Cassette bottom disc into the body of the
Cassette closes the fluid path, preventing the free flow of fluid (Figure 2).
When primed, the Cassette simply snaps onto the Pump.
Note:

Once the cassette bottom is snapped into place (see section 2), the rollers
engage and compress the tubing preventing fluid from flowing unless the
pump is rotating and moving the fluid. If a downstream occlusion occurs,
the pump will alarm and notify the user.

Warning: Protection from air infusion
•The infusion solution must be provided in a non-vented, collapsible container.
•Remove all air from solution container and tubing before use.
Note:
It is the responsibility of the healthcare provider to ensure that the patient is educated in the proper use of
the Pump.
It is the responsibility of the healthcare provider to modify any guidelines provided to the patient along with
the Pump as appropriate for the individual patient’s clinical status and medication provided.
2.1 Required Materials
Warning:
It is recommended that an air elimination filter be used to protect from air embolism. Some ambIT
Cassettes already contain a filter. If cassette already has filter, it is not recommended to use a separate air elimination filter.
Infusion with the ambIT® Pump requires the use of one of the following ambIT® Cassettes:
•Item # 220139: ambIT® Cassette, Filterless, Spike
•Item # 220140: ambIT® Cassette, Filter, Spike (1.2 micron air eliminating filter)
•Item # 220140 Y: ambIT® Cassette, Filter, Spike with Yellow Striped Tubing (1.2 micron air
eliminating filter)
•Item # 220266: ambIT® Cassette, Filter, Male Luer (1.2 micron air eliminating filter)
•Item # 220267: ambIT® Cassette, Filterless, Male Luer
The Cassette is a sterile, disposable administration set. The upstream (short) tubing of the Cassette
connects to a non-vented, collapsible solution container. Once the Cassette has been primed, the
downstream extension (long) tubing of the Cassette connects to the patient’s access device.
Note:
Accessories such as MediBag™ solution containers and carrying pouches may be added as required by
the therapy. Contact Summit Medical Products, Inc. for a complete listing of all optional accessories.
2.2 Priming Cassette
Warnings:
Do not use a Cassette if the outer package is torn, punctured, wet or damaged.
Do not touch sterile open ends of the tubing. Use aseptic technique.
Remove all air from solution container and tubing before use.
Verify that all connections are secure before starting therapy, and check fluid path for leaks.
10
Se c t io n 2 • Se t U p
If filled solution container is not going to be used immediately, clamp the tubing and cap the female
luer connector with the protective cap provided, to prevent contamination.
Always verify that the Cassette bottom disc is snapped closed before attaching the Cassette to the
Pump.
Protective Cover
To prime the Cassette, follow these steps:
STEP 1
Remove the protective cover from the bottom of the Cassette
(see illustration at left).
STEP 2
Connect the solution container to the short tubing of the
Cassette using aseptic technique.
STEP 3
Release all clamps on tubing.
STEP 4
Invert the solution container to allow air to be evacuated first
before priming the Cassette with fluid (see illustration at left).
STEP 5
Gently squeeze the solution container to force fluid and air
upward through the tubing and Cassette. Continue until the
solution has completely filled the tubing and all air bubbles
have been removed.
STEP 6
After priming, close the fluid path by snapping the Cassette
bottom disc into the Cassette body. This will prevent free flow.
Warning:
Failure to properly snap the disc into the Cassette body may
result in incorrect flow rates or free flow conditions.
Note:
In the event that the Cassette bottom disc is snapped closed
before the priming process is complete, place the Cassette
onto the Pump (not attached to patient) and use the BOLUS
button to complete the priming of the Cassette.

Note:
Most “MA” alarms can be resolved by pressing and releasing the RUN/PAUSE button to silence the alarm. To restart the infusion, press and release the RUN/PAUSE button. If the alarm persists, contact Summit Medical Products, Inc.
STEP 8
Make sure the patient is instructed on the proper use of the Pump.
Note:
The filter bonded to the ambIT® Filtered Cassette tubing is an airelimination filter (AEF). The AEF has two membranes. The larger
membrane is a hydrophilic membrane and the smaller membrane is
a hydrophobic membrane. The hydrophobic membrane will not allow
water to flow through. Some other liquids, such as organic liquids,
can allow water to flow through the hydrophobic membrane.
Rotate shaft
using protective
cover
– OR –
Rotate shaft
by hand

When the filter is dry both the hydrophilic membrane and the
hydrophobic membrane will allow air through. Once the hydrophilic
membrane comes in contact with water (is “wetted”), air will not
flow through the membrane until the bubble point is reached. (The
bubble point is the pressure required to force air through the wetted
hydrophilic membrane).
Due to the nature of the hydrophilic membrane, it is important to
prime the ambIT® Filtered Cassette without getting water in the filter.
This will allow air to flow through very easily. Once the filter is wet, it
may be more difficult to prime, because the air has a much smaller
area to flow out of (air will only flow out of the smaller hydrophobic
membrane).

2.5 Changing Fluid Reservoir
Warning:
Follow your healthcare providers’ procedures to properly change the fluid
reservoir without contaminating the fluid path. It is beyond the scope of this
manual to provide training on connecting or disconnecting the standard
luer or spike connections to bags. If you are unsure of how to perform this
task, consult your facility or supervising physician.
Prior to changing the fluid reservoir put the pump in PAUSE mode (see
section 4.2 for instructions).
2.6 Battery Installation and Replacement
The Pump is powered by two (2) AA alkaline 1.5V batteries.
Caution:
Summit Medical Products, Inc. has not tested all non-alkaline or
rechargeable batteries with the Pump; therefore we cannot ensure that
a specific non-alkaline or rechargeable battery will power the Pump for
a specific period of time. The battery condition and Pump settings will
determine how the battery will perform in the Pump. For this reason, the
time before the low battery alarm occurs and the time between low and
dead battery alarms is difficult to predict with non-alkaline or rechargeable
batteries. The manufacturer recommends that the batteries be changed at
the end of each therapy.
Remove Battery Cover
The Pump memory is designed to retain program settings and infusion
history for up to six (6) months without power. Failure to follow the
manufacturer’s instructions while replacing batteries may result in loss of
program settings and report data. Do not store batteries in the Pump.
2.6.1 Battery Installation
To install batteries:
Insert Batteries and
Replace Cover

SECTION 10
DELIVERY RATE ACCURACY
The following curves show Pump delivery accuracy for bolus and basal infusions. The bolus accuracy is
shown at different volumes over a number of sequential bolus events. The basal accuracy is shown as
trumpet curves under different conditions of flow rate and delivery pressures. These graphs are applicable
for all ambIT® Pump Cassettes.
The ambIT® Pump uses a rotary peristaltic mechanism to deliver fluid. Each rotation of the peristaltic
mechanism delivers 50 μl of fluid. During bolus delivery, the Pump delivers a prescribed volume at a flow
rate of 100 ml/hr. Bolus accuracy is shown as the percent error for the actual vs. prescribed bolus volume.
This error is measured sequentially over a number of bolus events at a minimum bolus volume (0.1 ml)
and a maximum bolus volume (20 ml). During basal delivery, the Pump delivers fluid at a prescribed
flow rate. The flow rate is controlled by the time interval between rotations of the peristaltic mechanism.
The trumpet curves are used to describe the flow rate in basal mode. The trumpet curve defines, for a
programmed flow rate, the maximum and minimum percentage variation from the expected flow rate for
given time intervals measured from start-up. Over short time intervals, fluctuations in flow rate have a
greater effect on accuracy as represented by the “bell” portion of the trumpet curve. As the time interval
increases, short term fluctuations have little effect on accuracy as represented by the narrower portion of
the trumpet curve.
The user is directed to these curves in order to be aware of the delivery profile of the ambIT® Pump and to
ensure that the delivery profile is acceptable for the drug being infused, its concentration, and the drug’s
rate of delivery.

Electromagnetic Immunity
Mobile RF communications equipment can effect the operation of the ambIT Pump.
ambIT Pumps that have a remote bolus cord connector should only be used with the Summit
Medical Remote Bolus Button. Use of any remote bolus switch other than the approved ambIT
PCA Remote Bolus Switch manufactured by Summit Medical Products, Inc. (Product #220265)
could result in an inadvertant bolus dose. It may also result in increased EMISSIONS or
decreased IMMUNITY of the device.
The ambIT Pump should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment and that if
adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the ME Equipment should be observed to verify normal
operation in the configuration in which it will be used.

Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile
radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with most
accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should
be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the ambIT Pump is used exceeds the applicable
RF compliance level above, the ambIT Pump should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is
observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the ambIT Pump.
Over the frequency rang 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than [V1] V/m
