Occlusion Pressure Limits - Cardinal Health Alaris PK Directions For Use Manual

Time to alarm following occlusion is achieved in less than 30 minutes at rates of 1 ml/h and higher by the appropriate selection of occlusion
levels.
The following graphs show the typical values for time to alarm and bolus volume that can be expected in the event of an occlusion when
the BD Plastipak 50 ml syringe is selected with a G40020B standard extension set.
Tests at low alarm levels may alarm immediately - the force at these levels is commonly less than the friction in the syringe (with no
additional fluid pressure). The result is that the pressure relating to the low forces will be less than the nominal quoted occlusion pressure.
