“User Callback” alarm
The “
User Callback
” alarm is a
Medium
priority alarm
that serves as a reminder to
finish what you started
.
Once you begin programming any infusion delivery,
the pump expects you to continue until setup is
complete.
If the pump is paused too long (30 seconds) after a
profile is selected or on a data entry screen, the pump
initiates this alarm.
There are several basic resolutions:
Empty”
alarm sounds, stopping the infusion.
The
“Syringe Near Empty”
alarm time may be set and
is useful in allowing preparation time for the next
syringe on continuous infusions. This alarm indicates
the time remaining to the
“Syringe Volume Near
Empty”
alarm.
The
“Syringe Volume Near Empty”
alarm provides
indication that the syringe is nearly empty. The
remaining time to the
“Syringe Empty”
alarm is
variable depending on syringe dimensional variation.
“Syringe Near Empty” alarm
The
Syringe Near Empty
alarm is a
Medium
or
Low
priority alarm that occurs indicating that the
syringe will reach empty in the “Near Empty Time”
interval. The “Near Empty Time” interval ranges from
1 - 240 minutes. This time interval may be set via the
“Near Empty Time” PharmGuard
®
Toolbox 2 setting
as well as the alarm priority,
Low
or
Medium
.
Note:
If the “Near Empty Time” is greater than or
equal to the infusion time, the
Syringe Near Empty
alarm will sound as soon as the infusion is started.
The pump sounds the respective priority alarm tone,
displays the near empty alarm message on screen,
but
does not stop delivery
. Pressing
í
when this alarm
is active silences the alarm. The “Syringe Near Empty”
alarm occurs only once if the infusion is allowed to
continue until it stops due to an “Infusion Complete,”
“Syringe Empty,” or some other alarm.

Syringe Empty Alarm Process
Sensing for an empty syringe can be a multi-step
process on the Medfusion
®
Model 3500 pump V6.
The
“Syringe Near Empty”
alarm and
“Syringe Volume
Near Empty”
alarms are both calculated by the pump,
based on infusion volume and time, and are designed
to indicate the syringe is nearing empty so there is
time to prepare for another syringe, if needed. The
“Syringe Empty”
and
“Syringe Empty - Stop”
alarms
are the final alarms in the process, stopping fluid
delivery when the syringe is empty.
The
“Syringe Near Empty”
alarm time is calculated
based on the flow rate and syringe volume to occur
at the set amount of time before the
“
Syringe Volume
Near Empty
”
alarm. The
“Syringe Volume Near
Empty”
alarm occurs at a syringe position near the
end of the syringe travel. Due to variation in syringe
dimensions, the pump will continue to infuse for a
variable amount of time until the syringe plunger
reaches the end of the syringe and the
