Technical Service Manual

430-00587-008 (Rev. 2/05)
To perform the distal occlusion test, refer to
Figure 5-5, Distal Occlusion Test Setup
proceed as follows:
1. Connect the distal tubing to the DPM through a three-way stopcock as illustrated
Note:
A reflux valve or six inch tubing extension may be attached between
the stopcock and the DPM to keep moisture out of the DPM.
Note:
The height of the DPM must be 0 to 6 inches (0 to 15 cm) from the
midline of the cassette.
2. Turn the control knob to SET RATE.
3. Set the rate to 40 mL/hr.
4. Turn the control knob to SET VTBI.
5. Set the volume to 100 mL.
6. Open the three-way stopcock to air.
7. Turn the control knob to RUN and allow the infusion system to stabilize for one
minute. Verify all air is cleared from the tubing.
8. Set the three-way stopcock to measure pressure.
9. Verify the occlusion alarm occurs when DPM indicates 10.0 ± 2 psi
(69.0 ± 13.8 kPa).
10. Turn the control knob to HOLD/RESET to clear the occlusion alarm. Open the
three-way stopcock to air and disconnect the distal tubing.
