Device Characteristics
Occlusion Characteristics
Typical occlusion detection ability data are occlusion pressure, Occlusion alarm occurrence time, and post-occlusion removal
bolus volume. The data below is a representative example measured for flow rates of 1 mL/h and 5 mL/h, with a three-stage
occlusion pressure setting value (1, 6, 10), and a new TERUMO syringe (50 mL). The measured values may vary depending on the
test conditions.
* When the 1m extension tube (internal volume: 1.0 mL) is used.
Note
• The Occlusion alarm occurrence time with solution delivery at the minimum flow rate (0.01 mL/h) will be approx. 100 times of
those at the flow rate 1 mL/h.
