Occlusion Pressure Limits; With A Pressure Extension Set Fitted, G30402M - Standard Disposable Extension Set - BD Alaris 8002TIG03 Directions For Use Manual

Occlusion Pressure Limits

Time to alarm following occlusion is achieved in less than 30 minutes at rates of 1 ml/h and higher by the appropriate selection of
occlusion levels .
Use of the dedicated pressure set is recommended for the Alaris CC Syringe Pump and the Alaris CC Guardrails Syringe Pump . Its use
permits the occlusion alarm pressure (mmHg) to be set accurately, with a small operating margin between the alarm and normal
infusion pressures . When using infusion pumps without a pressure set, line pressures are estimated from pumping force . For this reason
the occlusion alarm needs to be set with an operating margin of at least one level between the alarm and normal infusion levels . The
ability to set a small operating margin permits short time to alarm and small potential bolus volumes to be achieved . Bolus volumes can
be minimised as described in the Alarms and Warnings - Occlusion or by enabling the back off general option .
