All Alaris Pump module/GEMINI Infusion System administration sets use
a unique clamping device (safety clamp on the lower fitment) to prevent
inadvertent free-flow when administration set is removed from instrument.
Used to select KVO (Keep Vein Open) rate (0.1 to 20 mL/h allowed),
which is rate of fluid flow after an "Infusion Complete" occurs. KVO rate
never exceeds infusion rate.
A complete range of downstream occlusion detection options is provided.
• Pump mode: Downstream occlusion alarm threshold is 525 mmHg at
flow rates of 30 mL/h or greater. For rates less than 30 mL/h, occlusion
pressure is rate-dependent to ensure rapid response to occlusions.
• Selectable pressure mode: Downstream occlusion alarm threshold
can be adjusted in 25 mmHg increments, from 50 mmHg up to
maximum occlusion pressure of 525 mmHg.
• Auto-Restart: (See "Auto-Restart" definition.)
In addition, Alaris System provides fluid-side occlusion detection.
Dual rate sequential piggyback (secondary) infusions can be infused,
with limits, at delivery rates and volumes independent of primary infusion
parameters. Automatic changeover occurs to primary infusion parameters
when secondary infusion is complete if an Alaris Pump module/GEMINI
Infusion System check valve administration set is used.
