Control Unit Audible Signals & Alarms
When communication with the pump is successful, the control unit emits
a 1-second beep. If communication is not successful, the control unit emits
a longer beep (2 seconds) in a lower tone.
The control unit will emit several short beeps to alert the user to a warning
or an error condition. Check the LCD screen for the warning message.
Refer immediately to the MedStream Infusion System Programming Guide
for information regarding warnings and errors and the audible signals. Take
appropriate action.

Control Unit Function and Intended Application

The MedStream Control Unit is intended for programming the dosage
parameters of an implanted MedStream Programmable Infusion Pump and
for transmitting other information to the pump memory.
Universal Battery Charger
Use the battery charger provided with your control unit to recharge the
control unit battery. See the instruction booklet packaged with the battery
charger. You can operate the control unit while the battery is charging.
Before first use you must charge the control unit for at least 5 hours.
Periodic Recharging Requirements
• Recharge the battery at least every 65 days. Regular recharging will
help prevent the battery from reaching a deep discharge state. When
the battery is in deep discharge, internal safety features will permanently
disable the battery pack and replacement will be required.
• Whenever possible, allow the battery to fully recharge; i.e.,
recharge overnight.
• Periodically perform a complete discharge/recharge cycle.
CAUTION: Use only the battery charger included with the control unit to
recharge the control unit battery.

USB Printer Cable

Use only the cable provided to connect the control unit to a computer printer.
See the MedStream Infusion System Programming Guide for instructions and
for a list of compatible printers.

CAUTION: Use only the USB printer cable included with the control unit to
connect the control unit to a computer printer.
Use only with the computer printers listed in the MedStream Infusion System
Programming Guide, which comply with IEC 60950-1.

Setting up the Control Unit

Before first use, use the battery charger provided to charge the control unit
for at least 5 hours.
Turn the control unit on by pressing the Power/Escape button. The first time
you use the control unit, you must:
• select the language
• set the date

Communicating with a MedStream Pump

You must use the control unit to prepare the pump before implantation and
to start the infusion postoperatively. Step by step instructions are included in
the MedStream Infusion System Programming Guide and in the instructions
packaged with the pump.
You must use the control unit for tasks associated with continuing therapy.
See the programming guide for instructions regarding:
• Refilling the drug reservoir
• Administering a bolus dose
• Stopping the infusion
• Changing the dosage parameters
• Responding to a pump alarm
You also use the control unit to:
• Display a log of the past 100 transactions performed with the control unit,
• Sort the transaction log by date, pump identification number, or
patient identification,
• Transmit a transaction report to a compatible printer. See the
Programming Guide for instructions and for a list of compatible printers.
See the Programming Guide for complete instructions on positioning the
control unit for communication with the pump.
