Part of Alaris
designed to minimize nuisance, patient-side occlusion alarms. Allows
system to automatically continue an infusion following detection of a
patient-side occlusion if downstream pressure falls to an acceptable
level within a
enabled, "Checking Line" function occurs when downstream pressure
exceeds pressure limit.
• In Selectable Pressure Mode: Pressure limit is either user-
adjustable or "locked" in system configuration.
• In Pump Pressure Mode: Pressure limit is a function of flow rate
and is automatically determined by device.
If downstream pressure decreases to a predetermined level, (below
of pressure limit) during
50%
infusion automatically continues. If condition is not cleared within
seconds, a "Partial Occlusion - Patient Side" alarm occurs.

Using Editor Software, system can be configured to allow
to restart attempts within a rolling

number of restarts is exceeded or if feature is set to zero, an
"Occluded - Patient Side" alarm occurs when system detects
downstream pressure that exceeds pressure limit.
Starting occlusion pressure limit which can be configured by profile in
mmHg increments.

All Pump Module/Gemini Infusion System administration sets utilize
a unique clamping device (safety clamp on pumping mechanism)
to prevent inadvertent free-flow when administration set is removed
from instrument.
NOTE:
"Safety clamp" is referred to on the device as "Flo-Stop".
