Interior Controls and Indicators
See Figure 2-2 for the location of the items described below. Note that the
figure shows Pump 2 only; Pump 1 has identical features which function in
the same manner.
Item Function
1. Upstream Occlusion Sensor Detects a complete tubing restriction upstream of the pump.
2. Pump Mechanism Linear peristaltic pump mechanism.
3. Tube Misloading Sensor Detects misloaded tubing out of the channel guide slots.
4. Downstream Occlusion Sensor Detects a complete tubing restriction downstream of the pump.
5. Air Sensor Detects air bubbles in the IV set.
6. Safety Clamp Prevents accidental fluid flow when the IV set is properly loaded and the
pump door is opened.
7. Slide Clamp Feature Provides an additional means of preventing accidental gravity fluid flow by
occluding the tubing in the administration set with the slide clamp before the
set can be removed from the pump. The use of this feature is optional; when
used, the slide clamp must be loaded in the slide clamp slot. The feature is
selectable through the pump’s configuration options. When alert mode is
enabled, the pump operates without the slide clamp inserted and the INSERT
SLIDECLAMP message is displayed. An alert tone sounds to notify the user
that the slide clamp should be inserted. When the alarm mode is enabled
(software versions 1.09 or later), the pump does not start and an alarm tone
sounds when the slide clamp is not loaded.
8. Spring Retainer Insert The pump is shipped from the factory with this plastic insert in the slide
clamp slot. It prevents damage to the mechanism during shipment and
maintains the proper spring tension. If your hospital does not plan on using
the slide clamp feature, Baxter recommends that this plastic insert remain in
place during use. See “Spring Retainer Removal” on page 8-22.
9. Channel Guide Ridges Function as a guide to keep the tubing properly aligned over the pumping
fingers.
