Procedure
Modifying the pressure limit
The pump pressure limit is pre-defined in the pump options in one of the
following modes:

3 levels (low , medium , high ).
The pressure limit is adjustable according to 3 pre-set values.

Variable
The pressure limit is adjustable within a pre-defined range.
When the pressure limit is reached, an occlusion alarm is triggered.
You must silence the alarm, resolve the occlusion and start the infusion
again.
To consult the pressure settings, see section 15.8, page 113.
Warning
When addressing or clearing an occlusion:

Ensure the fluid flow to the patient is OFF to prevent administering an
unintended bolus. An occlusion may pressurize the infusion tubing
and syringe, which can result in an unintended bolus of drug when the
occlusion is cleared. In order to prevent this additional bolus,
disconnect the tubing, or relieve the excess pressure through a
stopcock, if present. The health care professional should weigh the
relative risks of disconnection with the risks of an unintended bolus of
drug.

Be aware that using larger size syringes on a high plunger force
setting may produce a larger post occlusion bolus due to excessive
syringe plunger head compliance.
