Compatible IV Sets
SIGMA Manual Number 41018
Revision AR
All sets use roller clamps referenced to as CAIR® clamp. All sets (except the Blood sets) use convert-
ible pins.

Compatible Hospira IV Sets – WARNINGS
The numbers reference the description listing table.
WARNING:
1.
Microdrip chambers should not be used for flow rate settings greater
than 200 mL/hr. Doing so may influence flow rate accuracy and cause
nuisance air or upstream occlusion alarms.
2.
When using sets with backcheck valves, flow rate settings should not
exceed 500 mL/hr. Doing so may influence flow rate accuracy or cause
nuisance upstream air or upstream occlusion alarms. Flow rates above
300 mL/hr may cause fluid to be siphoned from the primary container
during piggyback operation (see Secondary Infusion).
3.
Partially occluded filters can cause nuisance upstream air, upstream
occlusion or downstream alarms and influence flow rate accuracy.
4.
Burettes with closed vents, or shutoff valves will cause upstream
occlusions that may not be detected by the infusion pump.
5.
Yellow Key Slide Clamp sets are only compatible with Spectrum
software versions 4.02.06 or higher. Keyed for correct direction of flow.
6.
Sets having a length that is greater than 48 inches from the exit of the
pump to the patient connection end may have an increased downstream
occlusion pressure, time to occlusion and bolus at occlusion release. For
rates of less than 100 mL/hr, the pump should be set to the LOW
downstream pressure setting.
7.
Some IV sets contain two or more slide clamps. Only the slide clamp
on the pumping section or on the section with the main roller clamp
should be used for pumping operation and clamp detection. Other slide
clamps associated with the set need to be observed and controlled by the
user.
8.
This set is configured with a roller clamp above the set slide clamp.
When loading it into the Spectrum pump ensure proper set orientation
with slide clamp located above the pump.
9.
Blood sets with both clamps closed above the blood filter will cause
upstream occlusions conditions that may not be detected by the pump.
See the Specification Section for Downstream Occlusion times and bolus
release information.
