Infusion Pressure,
Maximum:
654 mmHg (Maximum Occlusion Alarm Threshold 525 mmHg, plus tolerance 129 mmHg)
KVO (Keep Vein Open)
Rate:
Factory default setting is 1 mL/h if set rate is 1 mL/h or above; or set rate, if rate is 0.9 mL/h
or below.
KVO Selection Range:
KVO rate can be set in System Configuration from 0.1 - 20 mL/h in 0.1 mL/h increments.
Occlusion Alarm
Thresholds:
Pump Mode:525 mmHg at rates ≥30 mL/h
Varying level based on rate and patient back–pressure at rates <30 mL/h.
Selectable Mode: User selected, 50 - 525 mmHg in 25 mmHg increments.
Operating Principle:
Positive displacement
Rate Accuracy:
Rate accuracy of the system is ±5% at rates between 1 and 999 mL/h and ±5.5% at rates
<1 mL/h, 95% of the time with 95% confidence, under conditions listed below.

Variations of head height, back pressure, or any combination of these
can affect time to alarm for occlusions and rate accuracy. Factors that
can influence head height and back pressure are: Administration set
configuration, IV solution viscosity, and IV solution temperature. Back
pressure can also be affected by type of catheter. See Trumpet and
Start-Up Curves on page 195 for data on how these factors influence
rate accuracy.
