Alarms, Alerts and Prompts (continued)
Alarms (continued)
Alarm
Meaning
Response
instrument malfunction
Pump malfunction. For a dual
channel pump, neither channel
is functional.
Turn pump off and then on. If problem persists, do not use
pump. Contact qualified service personnel.
key stuck
A key is stuck or was held down
too long.
Release key. Turn pump off (both channels if dual channel
pump) and then on. If problem persists, do not use pump.
Contact qualified service personnel.
latch open
Latch was opened during an
infusion.
Check for proper set installation. Close latch fully to the left.
Press
run
soft key.
no upstream flow detected
Flow has been obstructed
between container and pump
when using a flow sensor.
Check to see if container is empty, flow sensor is mispositioned
or clouded, tubing is kinked or air vent is closed. Verify correct
set connections and open fluid path. Press
run
soft key to
restart infusion.
Note:
Infusing fluids which form smaller drops through a 60
drops/ml set at high rates may result in a No Upstream Flow
Detected alarm. (This is because the small, rapidly falling drops
form a continuous stream which does not trigger the flow
sensor). In this event, unplug the flow sensor from the pump.
occlusion downstream
Pressure in infusion set has
exceeded a pressure alarm
threshold or Resistance has
reached 100%.
Check infusion set for probable cause (such as kinked tubing,
closed stopcock, high resistance catheter). Press run soft key to
restart infusion.
occlusion upstream
Flow has been obstructed
between fluid container and
pump's pressure sensor.
Check infusion set for probable cause (such as kinked tubing,
closed clamp). Verify that blue thumb clamp on Flow Regulator
has moved to open (up) position. If not, reload set. Press run
soft key to restart infusion.
primary flow detected during
secondary
Pump detected flow from
primary container during
secondary infusion.
NOTE:
Alarm can only occur
when using optional flow sensor.
Verify that flow sensor is on Primary infusion set and that set up
is correct.
set out
Set has been removed during an
infusion.
Reinstall set. Press run soft key to restart infusion
setup time exceeded
Pump has been turned on but
no keys have been pressed for 10
minutes.
Press
hold
soft key to return to hold mode.
Pump turns off if left in alarm more than 5 minutes.
If an audio alarm remains on, turn pump on and then off.
Alert
Meaning
Response
Battery Low
Battery has 30 minutes or less of
charge remaining.
Plug power cord into an AC outlet as soon as possible.
Check Entry
Key press unclear.
Press clear key to continue.
Checking Line
Flow has been obstructed.
Auto Restart Plus feature is on.
Auto Restart Plus feature must be on for downstream occlusion alerts
(not required for upstream occlusion alerts). Check infusion set for
probable cause (such as kinked tubing, clogged filter, etc.).
Complete Entry
ENTER
was not pressed to accept a
new value.
Press
ENTER
to confirm entry or press
CLEAR
twice to return to
previous settings.
NOTE:
Channel operates as previously programmed until
ENTER
is
pressed.
Resistance Alert
Infusion set resistance has reached
preset alert level.
Resistance Alert feature is on.
Check downstream line and site. Raise resistance alert level, if
appropriate.
Additional Alerts:
Additional alerts provide notification of program completion and/or transition to another mode: Dose Complete (Multi-Dose Mode), Load
Dose Complete, Multi-Step Complete, Secondary Complete, Infusion in KVO or VTBI = 0.)
