Pump Head Features
ITEM
FUNCTION
1. Upstream occlusion
sensor
Detects a complete tubing restriction upstream of the pump.
2. Pumping fingers
Cam-driven pumping fingers which manipulate the tubing against
the back plate, resulting in fluid movement in a downward direction.
3. Downstream occlusion
sensor
Detects tubing restrictions downstream of the pump. The sensitivity
level can be adjusted to suit the needs of the hospital.
4. Air sensor
Detects air bubbles in the tubing. The sensitivity is adjustable via the
pump's configuration.
5. Safety clamp
Prevents accidental fluid flow by automatically occluding the tubing
whenever the pump door is opened. Provides “Free Flow Protection.”
6. Slide clamp slot
When the slide clamp loading option is enabled, the I.V. set's slide
clamp must be inserted into this slot. The operator must push the slide
clamp into the slot to occlude the tubing before the I.V. set can be
removed from the pump. The slide clamp loading option is selectable
through the configuration.
