6. Alarms and safety features
Volumat MC Agilia has a continuous inspection system that operates as soon as the pump is in use.
If an alarm occurs, the infusion stops, visual (red LEDs) and sound signals are emitted. A clear message is
expressed by means of words and pictograms. The
key is effective for two minutes. When the cause of the
alarm has been fixed, the red lights are turned off, but the message remains displayed at the top of the screen
as a reminder of the cause of the alarm.
If the pre-alarm or a warning occurs, the infusion continues, a visual (orange LEDs) and sound signals are
emitted. The
key is effective with no time limit.
