4-45
Operating Instructions
Secondary Infusions
Secondary Infusions
This optional programming function allows the pump to deliver fluid
from a second source container at a rate and volume that is independent
of the primary infusion. When the secondary infusion is complete, the
pump automatically switches to the programmed primary rate if a
confirmed primary infusion exists.
Note:
While Primary is
Running
A secondary infusion can be programmed while a pri-
mary infusion is running. A
Programming Second-
ary
alert message will be displayed with an audible
alert tone.
! WARNING !
When using primary administration sets with check valves and secondary
administration sets for secondary infusions, factors including but not limited to
programmed infusion rates, fluid viscosity, source containers (type and size), and
head height differences may influence system performance. Flow rates greater
than 350 mL/hr may cause fluid to be siphoned from the primary source container
during infusions, causing concurrent flow.
! WARNING !
Use only CONTINU-FLO standard administration sets equipped with keyed slide
clamps and labeled as COLLEAGUE pump compatible or denoted with an “s” in
the product code as the primary fluid line when administering a secondary
medication/solution. See “Recommended Administration Sets,” 4-15. Carefully
follow the directions on the primary and secondary administration set labels.
When using the secondary infusion feature ensure:
•
the medication/solution in the secondary source container is
compatible with the medication/solution in the primary source
container.
•
the secondary administration set is connected to the appropriate
injection site on the CONTINU-FLO administration set.
•
the interruption of the primary infusion is clinically appropriate for
the duration of the secondary infusion.
•
the infusion runs from a secondary source container and not from a
primary container.
! WARNING !
Failure to properly lower the primary container by fully extending the hanger
increases the potential for concurrent flow. Concurrent flow leads to
over-infusion of the primary infusion and under-infusion of the secondary
infusion.
