Drip Monitor (DM)
16.1.
Introduction
DM (Drip Monitor) module uses photoelectric non-contact principle to detect the
dropping of medical drops in the infusion tube set, trigger the circuit to work, count the
dropping frequency of medicine drops, and thus obtains the drip rate of infusion drops.
After the completion of infusion is detected, the infusion pipeline is clamped, the infusion
is blocked and a signal is sent to the monitor, and the monitor generates an infusion
completion alarm message according to the signal to prompt medical personnel to change
the liquid medicine or perform needle pulling operation.
CAUTION:
DM only measures the number of drops in the set infusion tube assembly and
does not participate in drop control.

Safety information
WARNING:
During measurement, the liquid level in the drip chamber should be kept below
the liquid level indicator line of the infusion monitoring module.
Please make sure that the outside of the drip chamber is not sticky with water,
otherwise the dripping rate measurement may be inaccurate.
The operator should pay attention to the length of the infusion tube and use the
extension tube when necessary to avoid accidents caused by pulling infusion tube
due to the patients turning over.
The Drip monitor (DM) measurement function isn’t intended to measure the
drips rate in the infusion process of analgesic, chemotherapy medicine and
insulinum.
