Some recoverable alarms provide a button to clear air from the
donor line. Whenever air is noted in the donor line, the clear line
button on the alarm screen should be touched. An animated clear
line icon is displayed while the instrument attempts to purge the air
from the donor line.
Typical Clear Line Screen
When the instrument is finished attempting to purge air from the
donor line, the touch screen will display the original alarm screen.
The check button will remain inactive until the instrument
determines that a sufficient volume of anticoagulated whole
blood has been drawn from the donor to clear air from the line.
Once the check button becomes active, and air is no longer
observed in the line, there is no need to continue purging air
from the donor line and the procedure may be continued.
Note: If the air in the donor line is a result of a vein occlusion,
clearing air from the line will only be successful if there is
sufficient blood flow from the donor. If several unsuccessful
attempts are made to clear air from the line, terminate the
procedure to avoid more fluid loss from the donor.
To continue the procedure after a recoverable alarm occurs,
touch the check button on the alarm screen. Touch the start button
on the pause screen.
