3. OPERATING ISSUES
3.1
Stop, insufficient or absence of administration
due to a device malfunction
If the administration stops due to a device malfunction, characterized by a failure in bag pressurization,
this incident may be confirmed by a lack of flow of the product administered in the drip chamber of
the line in use.
Firstly check that the cover of the Droper Vet has been closed correctly. Where necessary, open and
re-close the cover.
In the event that the cover is closed correctly, open the Droper Vet, unfasten the mobile plate from its
tightening clips, check the following points and implement the relevant actions
:
Check that there are no objects blocking the mechanism. If this is the case, remove the object
Reinstall the mobile plate onto the mechanism by replacing the clips using pressure. Re-
pressurize the system.
Check that one or several springs have not stopped working
Remove the bag of fluid and continue administration by gravity or manual pressure on
the bag, or change device. Send the Droper Vet to the maintenance department for repair.
Check whether the clamp, roller clamp or flow regulator is set to the OFF position
Reposition the clamp, roller clamp or flow regulator to the desired position.
Check whether the infusion / transfusion line is being pinched by excessive bending of the latter
Remove this bend.
Check whether the infusion / transfusion line is being clamped by an object crushing the line
Remove this object.
Check whether the infusion / transfusion line has been clamped between the cover and the
plate when arming the Droper Vet
Open the Droper Vet and move the infusion / transfusion line.
3.2
Stop, insufficient or absence of administration
due to a catheter obstruction
After checking the correct operation of the device, check whether the administration has stopped, is
insufficient or is absent by observing the slowing or absence of flow of the infused fluid in the drip
chamber
Reinsert another catheter
