Frequently Asked Questions:

Is Sapphire rated for EMS transport?

Yes. Eitan Medical lists Sapphire Multi-Therapy for hospital, ambulatory, and EMS settings, with indicated use in pre-hospital medical air and ground transportation. The pump is rated to IEC 60601-1-12 for the emergency medical services environment and is approved for air and ground medical transport in the US.¹²³

What is IEC 60601-1-12 on this pump?

IEC 60601-1-12 is the standard for medical electrical equipment and systems intended for use in the emergency medical services environment. Eitan Medical documents Sapphire Multi-Therapy to this EMS standard.²³

What is SAE J3043 for the Mini Cradle / mounting?

Eitan Medical rates Sapphire mounting and carrying solutions to SAE J3043 for mounted equipment impact (J2917 frontal, J3044 rear, J2956 side). The OEM Mini Cradle is the mounting adapter for ambulance and transport positioning of the pump.³

What therapies does the Sapphire Multi-Therapy pump support?

Continuous, Multi-step, TPN, Intermittent, PCA, Epidural, and Secondary (Piggyback) on one compact platform.¹

What is the battery runtime?

About 24 hours at 125 mL/h with backlight off on the rechargeable Li-Ion 7.4 V / 1960 mAh battery. Recharge time is up to 6 hours when the pump is not in operation.⁴

Which infusion sets should I stock with this pump?

OEM Sapphire sets: AP-409 primary, AP-433, and AP-416 half-set.

What mounting and data accessories are available?

Mini Cradle for mounting, XShear protective case, communications cable, and RS232 to USB adapter.

How accurate is the Sapphire pump?

±2.5% flow rate accuracy under normal conditions per IEC 60601-2-24.¹

How small and light is the pump?

143 x 96 x 49 mm (5.63 x 3.78 x 1.93 in) and 418 g (14.7 oz) without battery.¹

Can the Sapphire pump be used for pediatric patients?

Yes. Eitan Medical says Sapphire can manage infusions for adults, pediatrics, and other populations, with true weight-based programming for patient weights from 0.1 to 500 kg and flow rates starting at 0.1 mL/h. Eitan Medical notes that use in preterm and low-birth-weight neonates (≤2,499 g, including very low and extremely low birth weight) has not been evaluated, so the clinician should decide whether to use it for those patients.³⁵⁹

Does Sapphire support weight-based dosing for EMS drips?

Yes. Paramedic and critical care transport crews can program weight-based infusions in dose units such as mcg, mg, units, mUnits, mEq, mmol, and nanograms, per minute or per hour. The patient weight range is 0.1 to 500 kg. Rates outside the drug library's hard limits are blocked, and soft-limit alerts are flagged on screen.⁵

How big is the drug library, and how is it loaded?

The library holds up to 40 clinical care areas with up to 1,000 drugs per area. Each agency builds its own library in Eitan Medical's Drug Library Editor (DLE) on a PC, with drug names, concentrations, and hard and soft limits. The library can then be loaded to up to 8 pumps at a time.³⁶

Is the Sapphire pump approved for flight / air medical transport outside the US?

Eitan Medical states that the Sapphire Multi-Therapy pump is flight-approved for air and ground medical transport in the US only. Check local approval requirements before using it on aircraft outside the US.¹

Can I keep using the pump if it gets wet, or if my gloves are wet?

Sapphire is rated IP24 for splash and dust. Eitan Medical states the touch screen can be operated even when wet, and that spilled liquid does not affect an ongoing treatment. The pump has been drop-tested, and OEM figures give a 7-year mean time between failures.³⁶

What temperatures can Sapphire operate in?

Operating range is +5 °C to 40 °C (41 °F to 104 °F). Storage and transport range is −40 °C to +70 °C (−40 °F to 158 °F).³

How do I lock the screen during transport?

Sapphire has Lock Screen, which prevents accidental touches while an infusion runs, and Patient Lockout, which needs a password to unlock. Patient Lockout can be set to turn on automatically when an infusion starts. Four password-controlled authorization levels (Low, Medium, High, Technician) limit who can change settings.⁵⁶

Can I extend battery life on a long transport, or use AA batteries?

Yes. The optional Sapphire External Battery Pack (EBP) takes six 1.5 V AA alkaline batteries. Even with the internal battery depleted, it adds about 15 to 20 hours at 125 mL/h with the backlight off. Turning the backlight off also extends runtime on the internal battery. Eitan Medical recommends replacing the internal Li-Ion battery about every two years.⁵⁶

Can the Sapphire pump infuse blood and blood products?

Yes. Eitan Medical indicates Sapphire for saline, TPN, lipids, IV medications, epidural medications, blood, and blood products. Blood needs a Sapphire-labeled blood set.⁵⁷⁸

Can I use a half set or a syringe with Sapphire on an interfacility transfer?

Yes. The AP-416 half set lets the crew connect upstream hospital tubing to Sapphire, then convert back at the receiving facility, so care continues and as much of the medication as possible reaches the patient. Running it from a syringe needs an approved syringe vent, with the syringe kept upright.³⁷

Does Sapphire support piggyback / secondary infusions in the field?

Yes, in Continuous mode. Secondary (Piggyback) must be enabled by a technician. It adds a second bag to a running primary without re-entering the primary settings. Hang the secondary bag at least 8 in (20 cm) above the primary fluid level, and use a set with Y-sites, such as AP-409.⁵

What air-in-line and occlusion protection does Sapphire have?

The air-in-line sensor detects single and accumulated bubbles at selectable sizes from 0.02 to 0.5 mL. Downstream occlusion detection goes up to 17.4 PSI (1.2 bar). An optional auto-restart resumes the infusion, up to 5 times an hour, if a downstream occlusion clears within 40 seconds. Alarm screens show on-screen troubleshooting steps. A dual anti-free-flow mechanism in the pump and set prevents free flow.⁵⁶⁸

Can Sapphire run pediatric infusions through small 24G or 26G catheters?

Yes. Sapphire can be used for pediatric infusions through small-gauge catheters. With 24G and 26G catheters, whether a distal (downstream) occlusion alarm triggers depends on the occlusion alarm settings and the flow rate, so there is no single rate cutoff that applies to every patient. Eitan Medical notes that higher flow rates through small catheters can trigger occlusion alarms, so set the occlusion alarm level for the clinical use and match the flow rate to the catheter size and the patient.⁵

How long can one administration set stay in use?

Sapphire sets are single-patient, single-use. Eitan Medical rates them for accurate delivery up to 96 hours. Change sets according to your agency's infection-control policy and the set instructions.⁵

Is the Sapphire pump MRI safe?

No. The pump is labeled MR Unsafe. Remove it from the patient before MRI and keep it away from the magnet.⁵

What maintenance does Sapphire need?

Eitan Medical recommends preventive maintenance once a year. It can be done in-house with the FasTest PM kit and software by a certified technician, or by an Eitan Medical certified service provider. Eitan Medical states fewer than 5% of pumps need annual calibration.⁶

What comes with the 17000-028-0072 kit?

The 17000-028-0072 kit includes the Sapphire Multi-Therapy pump and the power supply. Administration sets, cradles, communications accessories, and adapters are sold separately.

How does Sapphire compare with other volumetric or ambulatory pumps?

Eitan Medical describes Sapphire as a full large-volume (volumetric) pump in an ambulatory-size body. It weighs 418 g without the battery (504 g with it), claims ±2.5% accuracy at all rates versus 5–10% typical of other pumps, and gets about 24 hours of battery versus 4–8.⁶
