NOTE: Inserting the slide clamp properly is the only way to open the Pump door. Load
guide 1 is the keyhole. The slide clamp must remain in the keyhole during the IV set
loading and reloading. If the slide clamp is removed during set loading, the Pump
will alarm and reloading the IV set will be required.
5. Press down until the door opens.
6. Continue to gently hold the slide clamp in the keyhole. The slide clamp must remain in the
keyhole during set loading.
NOTE: Tubing should now be in front of the loading channel and not behind the door. See
Figure 14.
WARNING IV Set Loading.
Load tubing directly from the slide clamp to the top of the tubing
channel. Confirm the tubing from the IV container enters the back
of the slide clamp and exits the front of the slide clamp prior to
loading the tubing section into the Pump channel.
Improper or reverse IV set loading can result in a no flow condition
to the patient, as well as possible back flow of blood from the IV set
into the IV tubing and/or occlusion/air in line alarms.
Follow the Direction of Flow diagram and screen prompts to load
IV set tubing correctly.
