Auto-Restart Part of Alaris
®
System’s Downstream Occlusion Detection system
designed to minimize nuisance, patient-side occlusion alarms.
Allows system to automatically continue an infusion following
detection of a patient-side occlusion if downstream pressure falls to
an acceptable level within a
15
-second "Checking Line" period. If
this feature is enabled, "Checking Line" function occurs when
downstream pressure exceeds pressure limit.
• In Selectable Pressure Mode: Pressure limit will be either user
adjustable or "locked" in system configuration.
• In Pump Pressure Mode: Pressure limit is a function of flow rate
and is automatically determined by device.
If downstream pressure decreases to a predetermined level, (below
50%
of pressure limit) during
15
-second "Checking Line" period,
infusion automatically continues. If condition is not cleared within
15
seconds, a "Partial Occlusion - Patient Side" alarm occurs.
Using Guardrails
®
Editor Software, system can be configured to allow
0
(zero) to
9
restart attempts within a rolling
10
minute period. If
allowable number of restarts is exceeded or if feature is set to zero,
an "Occluded - Patient Side" alarm occurs when system detects
downstream pressure that exceeds pressure limit.
Default Occlusion Pressure Starting occlusion pressure limit which can be configured by profile in
25
mmHg increments.
Free Flow Protection All Alaris
®
Pump Module/Gemini Infusion System administration sets
utilize a unique clamping device (safety clamp on pumping
mechanism) to prevent inadvertent free-flow when administration set
is removed from instrument.
KVO Rate Adjust Used to select
KVO
(Keep Vein Open) rate (
0.1
to
20
mL/h allowed),
which is rate of fluid flow after an "Infusion Complete" occurs.
KVO
rate will never exceed infusion rate.
