Introduction and Start Up
Secondary Infusion (Model 572)
Starting the Pump with Secondary Infusion
1. Load the primed set. See 'Loading the IV Infusion Set' earlier in this
chapter for instructions.
2. Prepare the secondary infusion using a secondary solution container
and the IVAC® "52" Series back check valve set; lower the primary
container. See Figure 1-3 below.
Prime the secondary IV infusion set in accordance with the set
Directions for Use
Attach a secondary IV infusion set to the upper Y-site of the
primary IV infusion set
3. Press the
ON/OFF
switch to power on the pump. Pump always starts
up in PRIMARY mode.
4. Use the
JK
switches to set the primary rate.
5. Press
VOL TO BE INF
if required.
6. Set primary VTBI if required.
7. Press the
SEC
switch to place the pump into SECONDARY mode. The
pump will sound a four beep verification tone.
8. Use the
JK
switches to set the secondary rate.
9. Press the
VOL TO BE INF
switch
.
10. Set secondary VTBI by using the
JK
switches.
11. Press
RUN/HOLD
to start secondary infusion.
WARNING:
Secondary infusion applications using a back check
valve set must have a VTBI setting equal to the
volume in the secondary container; this will require
consideration of such variables as factory overfill,
medication additions, priming volume, etc.
Underestimating the volume will cause remaining
secondary solution to be infused at the primary rate;
overestimating will result in primary solution being
infused at the secondary rate.
Introduction
This mode of operation supports automatic secondary infusions ("piggybacking") in the same pump channel. When
the secondary VTBI reaches zero, a transition tone will sound and the primary settings will automatically take effect.
Secondary mode can be used where a second, independent VTBI is required, and also when an automatic rate change is
required.
When the pump is programmed and delivering in the secondary mode, the primary infusion is temporarily stopped and
fluid is drawn from the secondary (higher) container. Delivery from the primary container resumes when the fluid level in
the secondary line is level with the fluid in the primary container.
Notes:
1) The primary fluid container must hang lower than the secondary fluid container to allow the secondary infusion to
run.
2) On completion of the secondary infusion the pump will automatically return to primary infusion.
When using a flow sensor it
must
be positioned on the
primary IV infusion set (as shown in Figure 1-4). Correct
placement of a flow sensor is essential for proper
operation.
