3. When using sets with rigid polyethylene lined tubing, as is often
used in nitroglycerine sets, flow rate settings should not exceed
500 mL/hr. Doing so may influence flow rate accuracy.
4. Partially occluded filters can cause air in line, upstream occlusion
or downstream occlusion alarms or negatively affect flow rate
accuracy.
5. Burettes with closed vents or shutoff valves will cause upstream
occlusions that may not be detected by the infusion Pump. Rigid
unvented containers used with unvented sets or vented sets with
vent closed, will cause upstream occlusions that may not be
detected by the infusion Pump.
6. When using a buretrol set containing a ball valve in the drip
chamber, an upstream occlusion due to a closed ball valve may
not be detected by the Pump.
7. Rigid polyethylene lined tubing, as is often used in nitroglycerine
sets, may produce as much as 69 kPa (10 psi) downstream
occlusion pressure above the lower limit of the SIGMA Spectrum
Infusion System specification.
8. Some Sets contain two or more slide clamps. Only the slide
clamp on the pumping section or on the section with the main
roller clamp should be used for pumping operation and clamp
detection. Other slide clamps on the set must be used with the
set and need to be observed and controlled by the user. To
prevent free flow, the slide clamp on the tubing that is loaded into
the Pump should be used to open the Pump door.
9. Blood sets with both clamps closed above the blood filter will
cause upstream occlusions that may not be detected by the
Pump.
10. Sets containing a manifold may require longer times to detect
downstream occlusions.
11. When using the compatible, non-DEHP IV administration sets in
the Pump, the following performance limitations must be
observed:
11.1. Flow rate accuracy will range ±10% from the expected
volume, when evaluated for over a one-hour period and not
the ±5% specified for Baxter compatible DEHP IV sets.
11.2. Flow rate range and IV set usage duration for Baxter non-
DEHP IV administration sets is limited to:
10 - 125 mL/hr with IV tubing use of not greater than
36 hours
126 - 250 mL/hr with IV tubing use of not greater than
4 hours
11.3. Do not use Baxter compatible non-DEHP administration
sets with the SIGMA Spectrum Infusion System for drugs
and therapies requiring infusion flow rates and durations
outside of the ranges specified above.
