Prime the Tubing Set
The tubing set must be disconnected from the patient before priming. As a security measure, you will not be
allowed to prime the tubing set more than 10 times without entering a security code or using the key to
demonstrate authority to use the pump. While priming is in progress, the pump displays the amount being
delivered. After priming is completed, the pump shows the total priming volume.
Note:
When the pump is priming the tubing set, the air-in-tubing alarm is disabled.
Note:
To skip priming, press

. However, if air is detected in the tubing set during the upstream occlusion test at the start of
the infusion, the operator will be required to prime the tubing set at that time. See “Upstream Occlusion Testing,” 5-18.
! WARNING !
The tubing set MUST NOT be connected to the patient while priming.
