Alarm Procedures
Alarms are indicated by a combination of an audible alarm, flashing amber
STOP
light and a
descriptive message in the display.
1. A continuous audible alarm indicates that
the infusion has stopped. First press
MUTE
to silence the alarm for a maximum of 2
minutes. Then check the display for a
alarm message. Press
CANCEL
to cancel
the alarm message.
2. When the cause of the alarm has been
rectified, press the
START
button to
resume the infusion.
PUMP DRIVE DISENGAGED - The drive system has
been disengaged during the infusion. Check the finger
grip and the position of the syringe.
EXCESSIVE DRIVE PRESSURE - Pumping pressure
has reached the alarm limit. Following an occlusion the
drive will backoff (if enabled - see general options) to
reduce excess pressure; alternatively squeeze finger
grips on the plunger holder to release the drive
mechanism and relieve any excessive pressure in the
syringe and patient line. Identify and remove the cause
of the blockage in the administration system before
restarting the infusion.
SYRINGE CLAMP LOCATION - Incorrect size of
syringe has been fitted, the syringe clamp has not been
positioned correctly, or the syringe has been disturbed
during operation. Check syringe location, position of
syringe clamp, and syringe.
PLUNGER NOT DETECTED -The syringe plunger is
not correctly fitted in the plunger holder. Check the
syringe plunger location.
BATTERY CHARGE LOW WARNING - Battery charge
low with up to 30 minutes operation remaining. Battery
indicator will flash and after 30 minutes a continuous
audible alarm will indicate that the battery is exhausted.
