The Heparin Pump Module - Fresenius Medical Care 2008T Operator's Manual

The Heparin Pump Module

The heparin pump provides a means of injecting heparin into the blood circuit gradually over
the course of the treatment and/or as a bolus. The pump can accommodate a variety of
syringes that are commercially available. The pump works in conjunction with the "Heparin"
screen where such parameters as the size and type of the syringe, infusion rate, infusion time,
and bolus amount of heparin to be infused are selected.
If heparin is infused manually (by pushing in the carriage lock button while pushing on the
slide carriage), the volume will not be added to the displayed amount, and must be added to
the total heparin amount. Manually moving the carriage to infuse heparin is not
recommended.
