System Directions for Use
Pump and Syringe Modules Section
Syringe Module (Continued)
Auto Syringe Size Identification System automatically detects syringe size and narrows down
syringe selection list.
Back Off This feature is only available when administration set in use has a
pressure sensing disc. When enabled, motor reverses plunger
movement during an occlusion until pressure returns to
preocclusion levels, automatically reducing bolus flow.
Fast Start When Fast Start is enabled and an administration set having a
pressure sensing disc is used, instrument runs at an increased
rate when an infusion is first started, taking-up any slack in drive
mechanism.
Infusion Complete An alert is given when current infusion is complete and
VTBI
has
reached zero.
Near End of Infusion (NEOI) Allows an alert to be configured to sound anywhere from
1
to
60
minutes before infusion is complete. Alert will occur at configured
time or when
25%
of
VTBI
remains, whichever comes later.
Occlusion Pressure A complete range of downstream occlusion detection options is
provided.
• With pressure sensing disc: Downstream occlusion alarm
threshold is selectable between
25
and
1000
mmHg, in
1
mmHg increments.
• Without pressure sensing disc: Downstream occlusion alarm
threshold can be set to low, medium, or high.
Pressure Sensing Disc When installed, pressure sensing disc significantly improves
instrument’s pressure sensing capabilities for a faster occlusion
detection time, and makes following features available:
Auto Pressure
Back-Off
Customizable Pressure Alarm Settings (see "Occlusion Pressure")
Fast Start
Pressure Tracking
