Activation of the Air Detector/Clamp Alarm during infusion
indicates that fluid flow has stopped and that immediate
operator intervention is required to restore fluid flow. Failure to
reinstate flow (after purging any air or foam) may result in
patient death or serious injury.
•
Do not turn OFF the Fluid Warmer when the Air Detector alarm
is active. If the Fluid Warmer is powered OFF in an active alarm
state, the Air Detector/Clamp will open and the Air Detector
will become disabled. This could allow any air within the patient
line to be delivered to the patient resulting in serious injury or
death.
B. Clear the "Air Detected" Alarm mode:
1 Immediately close all clamps on the Disposable Set
2 Remove pressure from the Pressure Chambers by moving the
lever to the minus (–) unpressurized position.
3 Inspect the entire Disposable Set for the presence of air, locate the
source of the air, and remove it.
Air or foam may have been vented through the Gas
Note:
Vent/Filter Assembly.
4 Remove any remaining air from the Disposable Set:
a Insert spike into an air-free bag/s of I.V. solution.
b Place the I.V. bag/s in the Pressure Chamber/s; close and secure
the door.
c Move the lever to the plus (+) pressurized position to
pressurize the Chamber/s.
d Prime the drip chamber/s and open the Disposable Set clamps
above the Gas Vent/Filter Assembly.
e Fluid flows freely through the tubing. Air in the I.V. line is
vented out through the Gas Vent/Filter Assembly. When air is
no longer present in the Gas Vent/Filter Assembly, the
Clamp opens and resumes automatic operation mode.
If air is not freely vented, replace the Gas Vent/Filter
Note:
Assembly.
