Priming - Using Options Menu

The Priming option can be enabled at the time the Alaris
System is configured for use. The Priming selection (
soft key) is available only after the syringe and infusion type
have been selected, and prior to beginning an infusion.
If a pressure sensing disc is in use, it should be removed from
the instrument before priming. See the applicable procedure
(as follows) depending on whether or not a pressure sensing
disc is used.

• Ensure administration set is not
connected to patient.
• Ensure air is expelled from
line prior to beginning infusion
(unexpelled air in line could have
serious consequences).
Failure to prime correctly can delay
infusion delivery and cause the total
volume to be infused to read higher
than the actual total delivered to the
patient.
CAUTION
During priming, the pressure limit
alarms are temporarily increased to
their maximum level.
