The management of post downstream occlusion bolus is the responsibilty of the clinician and must be determined
for each situation .
Bolus volume generated at 25 ml/h when the minimum occlusion alarm threshold is reached <0 .16 ml
Bolus volume generated at 25 ml/h when the maximum occlusion alarm threshold is reached <0 .95 ml
Bolus Volume Accuracy:
Typical: -4 .1%, Max: -3 .2%, Min: -5 .5% 1ml @ 10ml/h
Typical: -1 .3%, Max: -0 .9%, Min: -1 .6% 100ml @ 1200ml/h
Maximum time for activation of occlusion alarm:
At Maximum Pressure, time to alarm at 0 .1ml/h is nominally 735 [±50] minutes (Maximum <883 min)
At Minimum Pressure, time to alarm at 0 .1ml/h is nominally 82 [±35] minutes (Maximum <112 min)
At Maximum Pressure, time to alarm at 1 .0ml/h is nominally 65 [±4] minutes (Maximum <95 min)
At Minimum Pressure, time to alarm at 1 .0ml/h is nominally 5 [+6-2] minutes (Maximum <10 min)
At Maximum Pressure, time to alarm at 25ml/h is nominally 119 [±7] seconds (Maximum <3 min)
At Minimum Pressure, time to alarm at 25ml/h is nominally 10 [+8 .5-6 .5] seconds (Maximum <18 .5 sec)
