Inserting the Tubing into the Air
Detector
The Air Detector is designed to detect air bubbles in the fluid
path. When the tubing is inserted into the Air Detector, an
air bubble exceeding the specified size will cause an alarm to
sound and the pump to stop.
1. If your clinician has instructed you
to use the Air Detector, open the
Air Detector door and thread the
tubing through the groove.
2. Close the door, making sure the
tubing does not get pinched or
kinked.
3. Follow your clinician’s instructions
for connecting the tubing to your
access site. Open all clamps.
WARNING: Ensure that the entire fluid path is free of all air
bubbles before connecting to your catheter to prevent air
embolism. Air embolism could result in death or serious
injury.
