Issue 1
52/56
Air Sensor:
Integral Ultrasonic Sensor .
Air in line detection:
Single Bubble (configurable): 50µl, 100µl, 250µl & 500µl .
Bubble accumulation: 1ml over a 15 minute window .
Air in line detector accuracy is ±3% .
Critical Volume
The maximum volume infused following a single fault condition is for rates < 10ml/h: +/- 0 .25 ml, rates < 100ml/h: +/- 0 .5ml, rates
≥100ml/h: +/- 2 ml
The Alaris Safety Clamp
Set based, Pump activated Safety Clamp Device to prevent free flow

3
Temperature: nominally -5 .7 (±1 .5)% at 5 °C and nom0 .3 (±1 .7)% at 40 °C
Fluid Head Height: nominally -3 .4 (±1 .3)% at -0 .5 m and 0 .0 (±1 .1)% at +0 .5 m
Duration: nominally -1 .1 [±0 .2] % over 24 hours of continuous use
Back Pressure: nom2 .0 (±1 .3)% at -100 mmHg, -13 .4 (±1 .8)% at +800 mmHg respectively
Atmospheric pressure: ± 5% at 25ml/h at 700hPa
3 .
Tested using Distilled water, 20% lipid, 50% glucose, 0 .9% Normal Saline and 5% Alcohol solutions .
4 .
The occlusion pressure accuracy will change by the following:
Temperature: Low setting nominally 7 (±12) mmHg at 5 °C and -24 (±17) mmHg at 40 °C respectively
Normal setting nominally 4 (±16) mmHg at 5 °C and -41 (±18) mmHg at 40 °C respectively
High Pressure nominally 4 (±14) mmHg at 5 °C and -38 (±21)
mmHg at 40 °C respectively
