Monitoring Options
Options (continued)
All features and options in this section are shown enabled. Options are enabled through the hospital data set profile configuration
settings, or through the pump configuration settings if the Profiles feature is not enabled (OFF).
The Dynamic Monitoring System provides the ability to monitor downstream pressure or resistance, allowing rapid detection of
full and partial occlusions. Resistance monitoring eliminates the impact of patient elevation and flow rate to provide the most
direct assessment of patency. Components of this system are:
•
Monitoring Options:
to select IV infusion set/site monitoring modes of resistance, high resistance, and adjustable or
fixed pressure.
•
Auto Restart Plus Feature:
allows pump to automatically resume operation when specific pump operating conditions
are met.
•
Adjustable Resistance Alert:
to provide an early warning of increases in downstream flow resistance.
•
Adjustable Pressure Alarm:
to provide an early warning of increases in downstream pressure.
•
Trend Graph:
to display downstream pressure or flow resistance over time.
•
Pressure Baseline:
to provide a starting point from which to measure changes in system pressure.
Infusion sets, catheters, and applications create various levels of resistance to flow. Monitoring mode options are available to
meet each clinical need.
•
Resistance:
designed to monitor IV infusion set/site resistance providing optimum sensitivity for most IV applications.
•
High Resistance:
designed to monitor IV infusion set/site resistance with optimum sensitivity where higher resistance
catheters are used.
•
Adjustable Pressure:
designed to monitor IV infusion set/site pressure and provide user-adjustable pressure alarm limits.
Used for Precision Flow mode or for high resistance systems; such as, infusion through transducers, into dialysis systems
and through highest resistance catheters.
•
Pressure:
designed to monitor IV infusion set/site pressure and alarm based on a fixed pressure limit.

Precision Flow: in fixed and adjustable pressure modes, the Pump provides enhanced flow continuity at
rates below 50 ml/h.
Selecting Monitoring Option
For dual channel pumps, select the desired channel as necessary. The bar graph and numeric displays are not available when
the split screen is displayed.

•
Each time the pump is turned on, verify and/or set the monitoring mode. If the monitoring mode,
resistance alert and/or pressure alarm limit are not verified, the pump may not be operating with
the desired occlusion detection parameter(s).
•
High Resistance and Resistance alert limit may be adjusted using the soft keys located below the
arrow symbols.
•
Pressure alarm limits may be adjusted when operating in Adjustable Pressure mode using the soft
keys located below the arrow symbols.
•
Maximum pressure limit settings may be configured by qualified service personnel.
