for troubleshooting assistance.
Tip #1: To Ensure Door is Closed Correctly
You should hear 2 clicks when closing the door.
1.) The metal pin pushing in (part of the slide
clamp assembly)
2.) The blue clip “popping” out
Tip #2: To Avoid Occlusion Alarm/Pinched
Tubing
If you heard 2 clicks after closing the door (so you
know the clip popped out successfully), you can also
gently tug the tubing that is coming out at the
bottom, down and away from you, toward the back
of the pump.
(See arrow for where to tug tubing.)
- This will ensure an occlusion was not created
when closing the door and will also make sure the
tubing isn’t being pinched at all by the clip.
Tip #3: To Avoid Nuisance Occlusion Alarms
If you’ve been using the tubing for a while, try using a fresh section of the tubing by
moving the clip down and loading this new section of tubing.
Tip #4: To Avoid Nuisance Occlusion Alarms
Occasionally the occlusion sensors get “sticky.” Pushing on the occlusion sensors
often loosens them back up. (See illustrations 1 & 2)
Tip #5: To Avoid Tubing Misload Alarms and Potential for Cut Tubing
When installing the tubing, run your finger from the point where the clip is installed all the
way up to the top. This will ensure the tubing is fully inserted into the sensors. See illustration 1
