Art. Pressure Alarm (with
the upper Arterial
Pressure Alarm limit
flashing)
The pressure inside the arterial drip
chamber is above the set alarm limits.
Blood
Alarm
1) Check arterial and venous tubing for kinked line, clotting or
clamps.
2) Ensure that the transducer protector is dry and the monitor line is
open. Replace transducer protector, if necessary.
3) Check for clotted fibers in the dialyzer
4) Check to see if blood flow rate is too high, especially with a pre-
pump monitor.
5) Press
RESET
to reset alarm. If applicable, press
RESET
again
and hold for one second to select new alarm limits.
6) If unable to reset the alarm, return blood to the patient if possible.
Do not return clotted blood to the patient.
7) Take the machine out of service and alert a qualified service
technician.
Art. Pressure Alarm (with
the lower Arterial
Pressure Alarm limit
flashing)
The pressure inside the arterial drip
chamber is below the set alarm limits
Blood
Alarm
1) Check the arterial tubing for kinks, clotting, or clamps.
2) Check the needle position and access patency.
3) Ensure that the transducer protector is dry and the monitor line is
open. Replace transducer protector, if necessary.
4) Check to see if blood flow rate is too high, especially with a post-
pump monitor.
Note
: Pre-pump arterial monitoring is very sensitive to
access problems (e.g., access spasms, needle tip
occlusions from patient movement). A slower blood pump
rate will bring the pre-pump arterial pressure up. Assess
whether the patient’s access is capable of delivering the
prescribed blood flow.
5) Press the
RESET
key to reset the alarm. If applicable, press the
RESET
key again and hold for one second to select new alarm
limits. It may be necessary to start the blood pump at a slower
speed and gradually work up to the prescribed rate. If unable to
reset alarm, return blood to the patient if possible. Do not return
clotted blood to the patient
6) Take the machine out of service and alert a qualified service
technician.
