Battery Voltage Check
Note:
Battery voltage display is only an approximate indication of the battery’s remaining
charge. If the battery voltage is less than 6.1 volts, or is dropping rapidly, assume
that the charge remaining in the battery is minimal. Recharge the battery.
To display the battery voltage, press
CONFIRM
after the pump is fully programmed. The
battery voltage should be more than 6.1 V if the pump is to be operated on battery power.
A charged battery displays a battery voltage of approximately 7.0 volts.
In Case of Difficulty
Check the IV extension set carefully to be sure the tubing is not pinched, and that there
are no obstructions to prevent proper fluid flow.
Problems associated with a particular syringe size or manufacturer are likely to be caused
by variations in syringe dimensions. Typical symptoms are an inability to completely
empty certain syringes, and
LINE OCCLUDED
alarms when the syringe becomes empty.
If you apply tape, paper stickers, or labels to the syringe, the apparent diameter of the
syringe barrel may increase, which can impair the accuracy of the Syringe Recognition
system.
Syringe Recognition problems may be caused by improperly mounted syringes. Excess
clamping force can crush the syringe barrel, which results in an erroneous barrel diameter
reading.
Frequent
CHECK BARREL
messages may be caused by improperly centering the syringe
in the barrel clamp cradle.
