Safety Clamp Fitment (Pump Module)
The primary administration set’s safety clamp fitment is a unique clamping device, on the pumping
segment, that prevents inadvertent free-flow when the administration set is removed from the instrument.
Safety Clamp Fitment in Open Position
When a new BD Alaris Pump Infusion administration set is removed from the package, the safety clamp
fitment is in the open position (white slide clamp aligned with blue fitment). In this open position, flow is
allowed as required for the priming process. The roller clamp is used to control flow during the priming
process.
Safety Clamp Fitment in Closed Position
When a BD Alaris Pump Infusion administration set is removed from the pump module, the instrument
automatically engages the safety clamp fitment in the closed position (white slide clamp projects out from
under blue fitment). In this closed position, flow is prevented.
