Air Detection. If the pump detects air exiting
the cartridge it will stop pumping and signal
the air alarm.
When using the Crystalloid/Colloid
Cartridge this should only happen if the
cartridge has not been fully primed. The
air alarm can also be triggered if the car-
tridge becomes dislodged from the pump,
if the IV solution does not have any
saline content, or during the 10-20 sec-
ond adjustment period when a primed
cartridge is first attached to the pump or
when switching from saline to blood
through the same IV line.
Occlusion Detection. If the pump detects
excessive resistance to flow on the patient
side, the alarm will be triggered and the
occ
pump will stop.
An upstream occlusion or an empty IV
bag will not trigger any alarms on the
pump. The pump motor will continue to
run but fluid flow will stop. Ensure that
upstream roller clamps are wide open to
achieve maximum flow rates, and moni-
tor the bag level as needed.
