19.13.2 Low Fill Mode Drain Logic
The Low Fill Mode Drain Logic is similar to the Standard Fill Mode Drain Logic.
The thresholds for Slow Flow and No Flow are lower because Low Fill Mode
patients typically drain slower. The Low Fill Mode also has an Initial Drain Time
(I-DRAIN TIME) setting in the Make Adjustments menu. There is a Minimum Drain
Time (MIN DRAIN TIME) setting for Day and Night Drains in the Nurse’s Menu.
The Minimum Drain Volume and the Minimum Drain Time settings must both be
met for the system to advance to the Fill phase when Slow Flow or No Flow occurs.
Some LOW DRAIN VOLUME alarms that could occur due to Slow Flow or No Flow
are suppressed if the Minimum Drain Time is not met.
Table 19-5 compares the Standard Fill Mode Drain Logic with the Low Fill Mode
Drain Logic.
*
A single pump stroke volume of fluid is pushed back to the patient when a Drain ends due to No Flow to
verify that the patient line is not occluded. The next Fill begins at this volume.

If Minimum Drain Time has not elapsed, the
Drain will continue with no alarm, unless
100% of the Fill Volume has been drained, in
which case it moves on to Fill mode.
If Minimum Drain Time
has elapsed, moves on
to Fill mode with 100% of Fill Volume being
delivered.
