DOWNSTREAM
OCCLUSION
Note:
Make sure the
tubing set is not
kinked or blocked
downstream of the
pump.
Situation: The pump has detected an occlusion or blockage between the pumping
mechanism and the patient that is preventing fluid flow. The infusion stops.
Action:
1.
Check the tubing set for closed clamps and kinks.
2.
If no closed clamps or kinks are found, engage the distal slide clamp before
opening the tubing door to check for tubing obstructions.
3.
Check the injection site.
4.
When the pump detects that the occlusion has been cleared, it will resume
operation automatically, or press
START
to resume the infusion after the
occlusion has been cleared.
NOTE:
If the tubing door is opened and closed, the upstream occlusion test will run when
START
is pressed. See “Upstream Occlusion Testing,” 5-18.
