Part of Alaris
designed to minimize nuisance, patient-side occlusion alarms.
Allows system to automatically continue an infusion following
detection of a patient-side occlusion if downstream pressure falls to
an acceptable level within a
this feature is enabled, "Checking Line" function occurs when
downstream pressure exceeds pressure limit.
• In Selectable Pressure Mode: Pressure limit will be either user
adjustable or "locked" in system configuration.
• In Pump Pressure Mode: Pressure limit is a function of flow rate
and is automatically determined by device.
If downstream pressure decreases to a predetermined level, (below
of pressure limit) during
50%
infusion automatically continues. If condition is not cleared within
seconds, a "Partial Occlusion - Patient Side" alarm occurs.
