Starting The Infusion With A Flow Sensor (Recommended) - Care Fusion Alaris GW Directions For Use Manual

Starting the Infusion with a Flow Sensor (Recommended)

The flow sensor automatically monitors the infusion flow rate through the drip chamber. The flow sensor will cause
A
the pump to alarm if a significant deviation from the set infusion rate occurs. The flow sensor will also be able to
detect empty containers. For this reason, use of a flow sensor is recommended when using an infusion set without
an anti-siphon valve.
Check:
• The pump is switched on.
• The Infusion set has been primed (refer to 'Priming the Infusion Set' section of this DFU).
• The in-line clamp is open.
• The flow sensor is connected (refer to 'Flow Sensor Operation' section of this DFU).
• indicates a drop is detected by the flow sensor during infusion.
