Dynamic Monitoring System - CareFusion Alaris SE User Manual

All features and options in this section are shown as enabled.
Options are enabled through the instrument configuration
settings.
The Dynamic Monitoring System provides the ability to monitor
downstream pressure or resistance, allowing rapid detection of
full and partial occlusions. Resistance monitoring eliminates
the impact of patient elevation and flow rate to provide the most
direct assessment of patency. Components of this system are:
• Monitoring Options—to select
modes of resistance, high resistance, and adjustable or
fixed pressure.
• Auto Restart Plus Feature—allows instrument to
automatically resume operation when specific instrument
operating conditions are met.
• Adjustable Resistance Alert—to provide an early warning
of increases in downstream flow resistance.
• Adjustable Pressure Alarm—to provide an early warning
of increases in downstream pressure.
• Trend Graph—to display downstream pressure or flow
resistance over time.
• Pressure Baseline—to provide a starting point from which
to measure changes in system pressure.

Dynamic Monitoring System

WARNING
• The Alaris SE pump is designed
to stop fluid flow under alarm
conditions. Periodic patient
monitoring must be performed to
ensure that the infusion is
proceeding as expected. It is a
positive displacement delivery
system, capable of developing
positive fluid pressures to
overcome widely varying
resistances to flow encountered
in practice, including resistances
to flow imposed by small gauge
catheters, filters, and intra-
arterial infusion. It is neither
designed nor intended to detect
infiltrations, and will not alarm
under infiltration conditions.
• Before each use, verify that the
pressure or resistance alarm
limits are appropriate for the
patient.
•
Each time the instrument is
turned on, verify and/or set the
monitoring mode, and resistance
alert and/or pressure alarm limit.
If the monitoring mode, and
resistance alert and/or pressure
alarm limit are not verified, the
instrument might not be
operating with the desired
occlusion detection parameter(s).
