UPSTREAM
OCCLUSION
Note:
Make sure the
tubing set is not
kinked or blocked
upstream of the
pump.
Situation: The pump has detected an occlusion or blockage between the fluid bag and
the pumping mechanism that is preventing fluid flow. During an infusion, the infusion
stops.
Action:
1.
Open the cover and check the tubing and bag for closed clamps and kinks.
2.
If no closed clamps or kinks are found, engage the distal slide clamp before
opening the tubing door to check for tubing obstructions.
3.
After clearing the occlusion, press
START
to resume the infusion.
NOTE:
If the tubing door has been opened and closed, or if this alarm condition occurred
during the upstream occlusion test, the upstream occlusion test will run before the
infusion begins. See “Upstream Occlusion Testing,” 5-18.
