Dynamic Monitoring—Resistance
Resistance monitoring eliminates the impact of patient elevation and flow rate, to provide the most direct
assessment of patency. It is designed to monitor
most applications. High resistance is designed to monitor
IV
sensitivity where higher resistance catheters are used.

KVO Rate
KVO (keep vein open) mode automatically occurs when the primary VTBI has counted down to 0.0 mL. The
channel switches to the preset KVO rate or remains at the current rate, whichever is less. The KVO rate may be
set from 0.1 mL/h to 20 mL/h in 0.1 mL/h increments and cannot be adjusted by the clinician.

Configurable Settings (Continued)
Default resistance alert level that is automatically set when the instrument
is powered on. The resistance alert marker can be adjusted up or down
from this default setting, as needed.
Provides an early warning of increasing flow resistance. When enabled,
the resistance alert marker can be set from 0% to 100% of scale in
5% increments (Resistance Display must also be enabled). To optimize
the alert feature, it is advisable to set the alert level 20% to 30% higher
than the initial displayed resistance, which should be read approximately
two minutes after starting an infusion.
When enabled, provides a bar graph on the Main Display to indicate the
current % resistance on a scale of 0% to 100%. When disabled, the
resistance alert feature is unavailable.
Provides an Occlusion Downstream alarm when the measured pressure
reaches the Resistance Pressure limit while operating in Resistance
Mode. This threshold may be set from 1 mmHg to 600 mmHg in 1 mmHg
increments. In other words, while operating in Resistance mode or High
Resistance mode, an Occlusion Downstream condition can be detected in
two ways: measured resistance reaches 100% of scale or configured
Resistance Pressure Setting is exceeded.
