(consult SIGMA for a complete list of compatible standard IV sets).
Performance
Downstream occlusion time to alarm for occlusion pressures adjusted to LOW (6 psi), MEDIUM (13
psi), and HIGH (19 psi) *:
RATE LOW(6psi) MEDIUM(13psi) HIGH(19psi)
5 mL/hr <5 min. <10 min. <20 min
100 mL/hr <15 sec. <20 sec. <40 sec.
Max. Bolus 0.25 mL 0.50 mL 0.80 mL
*With Occlusion 45 inches below the pump and alarm set to LOW, MEDIUM or HIGH.
All safety related sensing systems are automatically checked for proper operation periodically during
set up and pump running conditions. Faults are identified by SYSTEM ERROR codes.
Bolus Accuracy
The SIGMA Spectrum IV Pump may have an optional bolus mode of operation. This feature allows
the user to perform a BOLUS SETUP action. To utilize this feature the pump must be programmed
with either a specific rate or a specific amount to be delivered in a certain amount of time.
If the pump is currently operating in mL/hr delivery mode, the bolus rate value is entered in mL/hr
and the volume is entered in milliliter (mL). If the pump is operating in a non-mL/hr delivery mode
(for example mcg/kg/min), the bolus amount would be entered in mcg/kg however the ML/HR soft
key may be pressed in the setup screen to enter the bolus information in mL/hr format.
In either mode, the time is entered in minutes and seconds (min:sec). Limits are placed on the
minimum and maximum amount of time for the bolus delivery. The limit constraints are contained
within the software of the Spectrum pump and are necessary to control the maximum or minimum
flow rate of the bolus infusion.
6
P/N 41019 Rev W
SIGMA SPECTRUM INFUSION PUMP - SERVICE MANUAL
The accuracy of the bolus volume is dependent up the resultant flow rate that is obtained from the
calculation of volume to be delivered in the time requested. For example if the maximum bolus
volume is 300 mL, the maximum flow rate is obtained with a bolus time of 18:02 (min:sec) or a flow
rate of approximately 999 mL/hr. Using this maximum bolus volume, and delivering the volume in
the shortest amount of time, the mean value of 302 mL ± 5% may be expected. Whereas using a
minimum bolus volume (.5 mL), and delivering the volume in a reasonably short amount of time (1
minute), the mean value of .52 mL ±16% may be expected.

Case
- SIGMA Spectrum consists of two case halves, the front and rear case assemblies.
Front Case Assembly
- The Front Case assembly is comprised of the front case plastic, display, two circuit boards and the
sealing wall. All components of this assembly are fastened with four hex standoffs and four Phillips
machine screws.
Rear Case Assembly
- The Rear Case assembly consists of the rear case plastic, a back flex circuit, an optional bar-code
scan engine with bracket, an external accessory connector and speaker. The back flex circuit is
assembled by heat staking it to the rear case. The optional scan engine is assembled with one
Phillips machine screw and the external accessory connector is assembled with the hardware
provided by the manufacturer.
Battery Pack
- The SIGMA Spectrum employs a removable Lithium Ion 7.2V battery pack. This assembly is made of the
battery cells, contact pins and the two plastic cases. The battery pack uses both cell and battery pack
protection to guard against short-circuit, over voltage and over current. The battery terminals are slightly
recessed to minimize the possibility that the terminals may be shorted on a conductive surface. The
battery pack is labeled to identify it and provide handling / disposal information as necessary for user
safety.
- Standard Battery (P/N 35702)
The standard battery is compatible with all SIGMA Spectrum pumps.
- 802.11b Wireless Battery Module Compatibility (P/N 35083)
The 802.1b Wireless Battery Module (P/N 35083) is only compatible with pumps that DO NOT
include a ‘G’ preceding the serial number, as shown above.
- 802.11b/g Wireless Battery Module Compatibility (P/N 35162)
42
P/N 41019 Rev W
SIGMA SPECTRUM INFUSION PUMP - SERVICE MANUAL
The 802.1b/g Wireless Battery Module (P/N 35162) is only compatible with pumps that include a ‘G’
preceding the serial number, as shown above. The 802.11b/g Wireless Battery Module (P/N 35162)
should NOT be used with pumps that do not include a ‘G’ preceding the serial number.
Pole Clamp
- The Pole Clamp Assembly (SIGMA P/N 35712) is attached to the pump with a #8-32 x ¼” set screw.
The set screw is used to lock the Pole Clamp Assembly to the SIGMA Spectrum Pump. The Pole Clamp
Assembly is comprised of an anodized aluminum C-clamp and a slide mount receptacle bracket. The
bracket is attached to the C-Style Clamp with two ¼-20 x 5/8” Phillips machine screws.
Processing Architecture
- The SIGMA Spectrum employs three computational processors.
1. Two of the three processors, which we will call the “Sharp” (Processor Board – 60087) and “PIC” ” (I/O
Board – 60091) are utilized to form a diverse checked redundancy scheme and perform all of the safety
critical computations. The scheme is diverse because they are different processor types manufactured
by separate, independent manufacturers. Likewise, these processors utilize different software compilers
and math libraries, which yields additional independence. This processor pair utilizes a master/slave
checked redundancy scheme where safety critical computations are computed by the master processor,
and checked by the slave processor. If either processor’s check calculation does not match its own
computation or if a fault condition is detected, it can independently fail the system to a safe state, which
includes an audible alarm.
43
P/N 41019 Rev W
SIGMA SPECTRUM INFUSION PUMP - SERVICE MANUAL
2. The third processor is used to charge the battery (Backflex – 35149), interface to the bar-code scanner
and pass asynchronous data through the rear case connector.
Pumping Mechanism
Physical Method
- The method that the SIGMA Spectrum utilizes for pumping fluid is through linear peristaltic
cyclical motion, that is, the tubing is repeatedly squeezed to create fluid pressure and thereby
flow of fluid.
Operation
- There are two phases of the pumping cycle. One phase called the “fill” phase allows the tubing
to be filled from the proximal or “upstream” end of the pump. The second phase of the cycle is
called the pumping phase of the cycle. The pump consists of two valves, one of which occludes
the administration set tubing at all times. The proximal valve occludes the tubing during the
pumping phase of the cycle. Similarly, the distal valve occludes the tubing during the fill phase
of the cycle. There are two “fingers” whose function is to squeeze fluid towards the distal end of
the pump thereby creating fluid pressure and fluid flow during the pumping phase of the cycle.
During the fill phase of the cycle, the fingers are in a position that allows maximum volume of
fluid to fill the tubing proximal to the distal valve.
Motor Drive
- The motor drive circuitry will only allow the motor to run in a clockwise direction, which creates
fluid flow from the proximal end of the pump to the distal end of the pump. Both the PIC and
Sharp processors have the ability to independently remove power from the motor through
independent hardware switches, thereby halting the pump in the event that single fault condition
is detected. There are two mechanisms for detecting rotation of the motor. The first rotation
sensing mechanism is the two-channel encoder, which can sense motor angular velocity as well
as rotation direction. The second rotation sensing mechanism is the once per revolution hall
effect sensor. These two sensing mechanisms eliminate the possibility of incorrect sensing
motor velocity after a detectable single fault condition.
Fluid Temperature
- Physical properties of administration set tubing are subject to the effects of fluid temperature. In general,
colder temperatures can cause negative flow rate errors in an uncompensated system. Similarly, hotter
temperatures can cause positive flow rate errors in an uncompensated system. The SIGMA Spectrum
employs a temperature compensation system to maintain flow rate accuracy over the operating
temperature range of the device. Approximate fluid temperature is measured by two negative
temperature coefficient thermistors, one proximal to the pumping mechanism and one distal to the
pumping mechanism. The proximal sensor is housed by the upstream sensor assembly. The distal
sensor is located in the lower tubing guide, just below the distal occlusion sensor. Both sensors are
calibrated at the factory, and are used to check each other for single fault failure conditions. The output
of both thermistors are filtered and fed to A/D converters for processing by Spectrum processors for
compensating pump motor speed to maintain flow rate accuracy.
44
P/N 41019 Rev W
SIGMA SPECTRUM INFUSION PUMP - SERVICE MANUAL
Upstream Sensors
Optical tube sensor
- The optical tube sensor consists of Light Emitting Diode (LED) emitting Infrared light and a
phototransistor. The LED and phototransistor are located at the bottom of the ultrasonic sensor
housings, facing opposite to each other. This position is marked as load point 2 and is indicated
in red color next to the “direction of flow” label inside the pump door. The optical tube sensor
detects that an IV set is loaded at load point 2 to assist in proper loading of the IV set into the
pump. It must recognize the presence or absence of the IV tube. The sensor is activated only
when the door is open. If the IV tube is properly placed in the space between the LED and
phototransistor the infrared light is diffracted and the phototransistor outputs a high voltage. If
there is no IV tube present the phototransistor receives continuous infrared light and a low
voltage is output. The software monitors the output voltage and displays a green bar with a
check mark for a properly loaded tube and red bar with loading instructions when there is no
tube or an improperly placed tube in the sensor. This sensor is calibrated through a biomed
option.
Proximal Occlusion Detection
- The proximal occlusion sensor consists of two pairs of ultrasonic transmitters and receivers. A
“pusher” connected to the door assembly assures a constant force exerted against the
administration set tubing against the sensor housing. The transmitted ultrasonic signal is a
constant wave (CW) signal centered at a nominal 293 KHz. This signal is generated by exciting
a piezoelectric crystal near its natural resonant frequency. The ultrasonic signal propagates
from the sensor housing and laterally through the administration set tubing. The ultrasonic
receiver is a piezoelectric crystal matched in frequency to the transmitter. The differential output
of the receiver is amplified, envelope detected, and filtered before being presented to a 12-bit
A/D converter where it is converted to a 12 bit digital word. Three samples are taken for each
pump revolution. The digital words are processed by the SIGMA Spectrum processor and fed
into a detection algorithm. The detection algorithm compares successive samples and looks for
a trend of decreasing signal amplitude caused by a reduction in pressure against the sensor
housing. If the trend continues through a predetermined threshold over a predetermined unit of
time, a proximal occlusion is declared and a visual and audible alarm is presented to the user.
Air Sensor
- Air Detection – The air detector utilizes the same sensor hardware as described in the Proximal
Occlusion Detection section. The air detection algorithm utilizes an “air” threshold that is set by
a calibration routine at the factory. If the signal amplitudes received by both sets of ultrasonic
receivers are below the air threshold an air alarm is declared and a visual and audible alarm is
presented to the user. The SIGMA Spectrum air sensor is designed to detect air bubbles greater
than 1 inch of tubing (125 to 150µl depending on tubing calibration).
Downstream Sensors
Set loading
- The downstream sensor consists of a channel piezoelectric bridge force transducer and is
located between loading points 3 and 4 inside the pump door. This sensor has two basic
functions. The first is to acknowledge an IV administration set as being installed at load points 3
and 4. Acknowledgement is identified on the display with a third green bar and check mark. The
second function is to detect distal occlusions.
Distal Occlusion Detection
- The distal occlusion sensor utilizes a piezoelectric bridge force transducer. A pusher connected
to the door assembly assures a constant force exerted against the administration set tubing
against the sensor housing. The detection algorithm compares successive samples and looks
for a trend of increasing/decreasing signal amplitude caused by a increase/reduction in pressure
against the sensor housing. Four samples are taken for each pump revolution. The differential
output of the force transducer is amplified, envelope detected, and filtered before being
presented to a 12-bit A/D converter where it is converted to a 12 bit digital word. The digital
words are processed by the SIGMA Spectrum processor and fed into a detection algorithm. The
detection algorithm compares the received signal levels to thresholds set by the user selected
occlusion alarm trip points. If the received signal exceeds the trip points, a distal occlusion alarm
is declared and a visual and audible alarm is presented to the user.

SIGMA SPECTRUM INFUSION PUMP - SERVICE MANUAL
The Sigma Spectrum Infusion Pump offers an optional Wireless Battery Module (SIGMA P/N 35083) providing an
802.11b wireless networking capability, and an optional Wireless Battery Module (SIGMA P/N 35162) providing an
802.11b/g wireless networking capability. In conjunction with a host computer system, the pump Drug Library can
be updated to a new library and pump status information may be sent via a wireless network connection to a host.
The pump includes a number of networking parameters that must be configured for the pump to access and use the
wireless network.
When a new pump is first received from Sigma, the BIOMED department must configure each pump’s network
parameters as described below. The BIOMED department will need to coordinate with the facility’s IT department to
determine the proper settings for the network parameters.
These network parameters are changeable by sending a configuration file to the pump via an IrDA interface. The
pump can also send its current network configuration file to a PC or PDA via the IrDA. A PDA or PC with an IrDA
interface can be used to program multiple pumps with the same configuration. The network configuration file is a
simple text file that can easily be edited on a PC or PDA and sent via the IrDA to a pump. After changing the
pump’s network configuration, the pump may need to be power cycles for the net settings to take effect.
Each pump stores its configuration information in non-volatile memory, so that even if it loses all power sources (AC
and battery) its settings are not lost.
The following is a description of the parameters required in order for the wireless interface module to work properly
with the host. These parameters may be accessed and reviewed as previously indicated in the Biomed Options
portion of this manual. They include:
Network Configuration
1) Network Status – this option shows the current status of the network connection. The following items are
available:
a) MAC Addr – displays the Media Access Control (MAC) address of the pump. This address is associated
with the Wireless Battery Module connected to the pump.
b) IP Addr – displays the current IP address of the pump.
c) SIGMA GW – displays the IP address or DNS name of the network host, also known as the Sigma
Gateway server.
d) Network Status – displays the current status of the wireless radio and network connection. If the wireless
radio is connected to a network, the relative receive level will be reported as a percentage. While the radio
is disabled or booting, pump event information is not buffered or sent to the network host. Network drug
library updates are only available when the pump is connected to a host.
e) Error Message or Network Information – displays status information or error conditions about any abnormal
conditions that may be preventing the pump from accessing or using the network.
2) Transfer Network Status – this option allows the pump’s network configuration to be sent or received via the
pump’s IrDA port, to or from an IrDA compatible PDA or PC. The pump’s network configuration may also be
reset, clearing any configured network passwords, returning the pump’s network configuration to the pump’s
default. To configure a pump for use with a facility’s network the pump’s network configuration file may be
modified and sent to the pump via IrDA. The pump serial number located in the network configuration file must
match the serial number of the pump it is being sent to,otherwise the pump will prevent use of the configuration
file. Note that certificate-based authentication modes are not supported. The default network configuration file,
available by pressing ‘send’ on this screen on a pump after pressing ‘reset’ to reset the configuration, can be
found below:

wireless network.
j) Password – (read-only, set via network configuration file) password used to authenticate the pump on the
wireless network.
A MAC address is supplied for each Wireless Battery module. Because the radio is located in the battery module,
the MAC address is associated with the radio and therefore the Wireless Battery Module, not the pump that it is
attached to. The MAC address for each battery module is assigned at the factory and cannot be changed. The
address is located on the side label of each Wireless Battery Module.
When a Spectrum pump is turned on, assuming it is properly configured, it will attempt to locate and connect to the
wireless network. It is the responsibility of the host network to verify the specific pump is permitted to gain access
to the network and determine what parts of the network it shall have access to.
Contact SIGMA International, Inc. for further information pertaining to suggested host requirements and/or details
needed for network implementations.
