Alarm Message
Priority
Remedy
Restricted Flow - Bolus
Cancelled
Medium
Bolus delivery was cancelled before completion. While the pump
was delivering a bolus, the flow rate was restricted and initiated rate
reduction, which eventually fell below the main infusion rate or
extended past the maximum bolus time. Check the infusion line for
occlusion.
Restricted Flow - Loading
Cancelled
Medium
Loading dose delivery was cancelled before completion. While the pump
was delivering a loading dose, the flow rate was restricted and initiated
rate reduction, which eventually fell below the main infusion rate or
extended past the maximum loading dose time. Check the infusion line
for occlusion.
Restricted Flow - Rate
Reduced
Medium
If the bolus or loading dose rate is high enough to trigger an occlusion
alarm, the software reduces the rate until the bolus/loading dose is
successfully delivered or, if the rate falls below a certain level or takes
longer than the pump allows, is cancelled. With each rate reduction,
this process repeats. Once silenced, the audible alarm tone will not
reactivate, even if the process repeats.
