Loading the Administration Set
Note: The pump must be powered on to load the administration set
(see “Powering On Using AC Power,” 4-1).
If the administration set is not loaded after the
Open key has
been pressed, the mechanism closes automatically after
60 seconds.
Never use the Manual Tube Release to load or unload the admin-
istration set during normal operation.

For single channel pumps, press the
Open
key (Figure 4-18).
For triple channel pumps, press the
Channel Select
key for the
desired channel, then press the
Open
key.
The automatic tube loading mechanism opens so the administration
set can be loaded, and the pump module displays
PATIENT

.
! WARNING !
Pulling or tugging on the administration set tubing between the pump channel
and the patient may cause false Air Detected alarms, which will cause the pump to
stop infusing. In order to reduce the potential for this situation to occur:
•
First, select an appropriate length administration set.
•
Before loading the set into the pump, position the keyed slide clamp
at an appropriate location along the tube segment to ensure that
there is adequate length of tubing between the patient and the pump
to reduce tugging on the set.
•
Lastly, ensure there is sufficient slack in the tubing between the
distal end of the tubing channel and the patient to prevent tube
tugging during activities such as moving the patient from one bed to
another, or transportation of the patient from one facility location to
another.
In order to avoid false alarms, the pump should never be placed on the bed
alongside the patient.
! WARNING !
Do not allow fluid to enter the tubing channel or load wet tubing into the pump.
Contact your Baxter Service Center for assistance immediately if fluid enters the
tubing channel. The tubing channel should be cleaned as soon as possible by
Baxter-trained, qualified personnel to minimize potential difficulties caused by
fluid pooling and drying on the mechanism. Fluid in the tubing channel can also
cause false Air In Line alarms. See “Authorized Service Centers,” 10-2.
CAUTION
When attempting to load or unload an administration set, do not insert tools or
other objects into the tubing channel.
