4.2.10 Pump Operational Tests: (*D*)
For all tests listed in this section, the UP (▲
▲▲
▲), DOWN (▼), EDIT, CLR, CONFIRM, and
number keys may be used as necessary to program the pump and to change an existing
prescription. The pump may also be turned “OFF” and turned back “ON” after each test.
If the pump is accidentally switched “OFF” during any of these tests, switch it back “ON”
and wait for the pump to complete the POST and prompt for a library selection (▲

SELECT LIBRARY appears on the display). Select NONE to bypass the factory
configured protocol libraries. Follow the programming instruction listed for each test.
4.2.10.1 Occlusion PSI Test: (*D*)
1. Fill a B-D® or Monoject® 60 mL syringe with 60 mL of distilled water.
2. Attach a 60 inch High Flow Rate Extension Set or equivalent to the end of the syringe
and manually purge the air from the syringe and tubing.
3. Install the syringe on the pump and connect the distal end of the tubing set to a
calibrated pressure gauge (optional).
4. Program the pump as follows:
MODE: mL/hr mode
MFG: B-D® or Monoject®
SIZE: 60 mL
RATE: 100 mL/hr
VOL LIMIT: 60 mL
5. Read and understand step 6 prior to pressing the START key. Press START.
6. (*D*) Verify that the pump displays RUNNING at the bottom of the display for
approximately 2 seconds and the run LEDs are flashing in descending order (top to
bottom).
7. If a pressure gauge is not attached to the extension set, block off the end of the
extension set to simulate an occlusion. If a pressure gauge is attached to the
extension set, wait for an occlusion to occur.
NOTE
When the pump senses sufficient back pressure, created by the
pressure gauge, an occlusion will occur.
8. (*D*) Verify that, as the pump senses the occlusion, LINE OCCLUDED is displayed,
ALERT and STANDBY LEDs flash, and the pump beeps continuously.
9. Press CONFIRM to silence the alarm.
