Cardinal Health Alaris 8000 Series, Directions For Use Manual

Occlusion Pressure A complete range of downstream occlusion detection options is
provided.
• Pump mode: Downstream occlusion alarm threshold is
525
mmHg at flow rates of
30
mL/h or greater. For rates
<30
mL/h, occlusion pressure is rate-dependent, to ensure rapid
response to occlusions.
• Selectable pressure mode: Downstream occlusion alarm
threshold can be adjusted in
25
mmHg increments, up to
maximum occlusion pressure of
525
mmHg.
• Auto-Restart: (See "Auto-Restart" definition.)
In addition, Alaris
®
System provides fluid-side occlusion detection.
Secondary Infusions Dual rate sequential piggyback (secondary) infusions may be
infused, with limits, at delivery rates and volumes independent of
primary infusion parameters. Automatic changeover occurs to
primary infusion parameters when secondary infusion is complete if
an Alaris
®
Pump Module/Gemini Infusion System check valve
administration set is used.

is selected as the volume to be infused (
VTBI
), entire
contents of the syringe will be delivered.
Auto Pressure When enabled and a pressure sensing disc is in use, Auto
Pressure option is displayed in Pressure Limit screen. Auto
Pressure automatically sets alarm limit for a shorter time to alarm,
as follows:
• If current pressure is
100
mmHg or less, system adds
30
mmHg to current pressure, to create a new alarm limit.
• If current pressure is greater than
100
mmHg, system adds
30%
to current pressure, to create a new alarm limit.
Auto Pressure Limit Adjustment When a bolus is delivered, pressure alarm limits are temporarily
raised to maximum limit.
