Ac Infusion Rate Exceeds (Allowable) Limit(S) - Gambro Cobe Spectra Essentials Manual

AC infusion rate exceeds (allowable) limit(s).

For all procedures except TPE:
AC infusion rate exceeds
allowable limits. Flow reduced.
For TPE procedures:
CAUTION: AC infusion exceeds limit.
Reduce inlet flow?
Warning LED is yellow.
Probable Cause
All procedures except RBCX: Increase in the inlet pump flow rate, causing the
AC infusion rate to exceed 1.2 mL/min/L of TBV.
RBCX procedures: Increase in the inlet pump flow rate, causing the AC pump
flow rate to exceed 1.4 mL/min/L of TBV.

(YES/NO)
All procedures except TPE and RBCX procedures: The AC infusion
rate automatically decreases to 1.2 mL/min/L of TBV.
TPE procedures: You determine if decreasing the inlet pump flow rate is
necessary.
RBCX procedures: The AC pump flow rate decreases to
1.4 mL/min/L of TBV.
The inlet pump flow rate decreases to maintain the inlet:AC ratio,
reducing the amount of AC delivered to the donor/patient.
.
Check the donor/patient for hypocalcemic symptoms. The donor/patient may need
calcium.
TPE procedures:
• To remove the warning message and set the AC infusion rate to the maximum limit of
1.2 mL/min/L of TBV, press YES.
• To remove the warning message, press NO.
All other procedures: To remove the warning message, press CLEAR.
