Sapphire Infusion Pump User Manual 29
Basic Infusion Safety Information
To obtain maximum accuracy of the pump when used in a hospital or clinical
environment, verify that the infusion container is positioned at a height of 50 cm above
the pump. There is no restriction on the location of the infusion container in relation to
the patient’s heart.
Alarm conditions automatically stop the infusion and require immediate attention
before the infusion can be restarted.
When clamping the administration set, ensure that the clamp is at least 20 cm (8 in)
away from the pump, when possible.
Note that if the dose rate is beyond the pump resolution of 0.1 mL/h increments, the
pump will increase or decrease the rate by up to 0.05 mL/h. This flow rate (in mL/h) is
presented on the running screen during infusion.
Administering Infusions: General Safety Precautions
•
Occlusion Pressure Alarm Settings:
•
High pressure settings may affect the time for occlusion detection. Make sure
that the occlusion pressure is set according to the clinical use case.
•
When using sets with a Pressure Activated Valve (PAV), detection may be offset
by 0.3 BAR (4.35 PSI or 225 mmHg). (This offset is called PAV cracking
pressure.)
•
Volume To Be Infused:
Do not enter a volume to be infused greater than the
amount of fluid available in the container.
•
Air Detection:
•
Air detection is an important safety feature of the Sapphire pump. If the air
detection is disabled (OFF),
use a set with an air-eliminating filter to prevent
injury to the patient due to an air embolus
.
•
Air detection serves as a safety component. Disabling the air detection hinders
the pump's ability to alert on hazardous situations.
•
Always ensure that the administration set is primed before starting an infusion.
•
The air detector working range when delivering fatty acids, is 2%-20% lipids.
