Priming Volume
The Priming Volume feature is only applicable for Amount/Time primary infusions and only
available during initial programming and IV set load or reload.
NOTE: Priming Volume adjustment allows a more accurate infusion of the actual fluid volume
(VTBI) in the container after subtraction of the priming volume. This feature helps
prevent early container depletion, which may result in air in line alarms at the end of the
primary infusion. The infusion rate remains the same.
NOTE: The Pump does not prime the IV set. Priming needs to be done manually. See Preparing
and Priming an IV Set on page 36.
To adjust the priming volume:
1. Follow the display prompts to load or reload the set properly.
NOTE: Priming Volume adjustment is available only after an IV set load or reload at the
start of the infusion. Priming is done off the Pump by gravity.
NOTE: The Pump does not prime the set.
2. Select one of the following actions:
Press the yes soft key to accept the priming volume displayed.
Press the no soft key to decline the priming volume displayed.
Press the edit soft key to change amount (mL). See Figure 102.
