Pressure Features
Auto Set Pressure (If enabled)*
If the Auto Set Pressure Option is enabled then the Pump
automatically
adjusts the pressure occlusion limit .
After 15 minutes of infusion the Pump
automatically
adjusts the occlusion pressure limit to XX mmHg above the average infusion
pressure, taken from the average of the last five minutes of infusion .
Note:
XX is the
AUTO OFFSET
pressure and is determined by the user . This adjustment,
AUTO OFFSET
value 15-100mmHg, is
configurable by profile within the data set . At pressures up to 100mmHg the
AUTO OFFSET
value is added . For pressures
above 100mmHg the alarm level is set to whatever the
AUTO OFFSET
value is as a percentage above the average infusion
pressure up to the maximum pressure defined within the data set .
