KVO Rate
Range:
KVO rate can be set in System Configuration, in 0.01 mL/h increments, as follows:
0.01 - 2.5 mL/h (0.01 - 0.09 mL/h available for 1 mL and 3 mL syringes)
Occlusion
Alarm
Thresholds:
Without Pressure Sensing Disc: Three settings—Low, Medium, High
With Pressure Sensing Disc: User selected, 25 - 1000 mmHg in 1 mmHg increments.
Operating
Principle:
Positive displacement
Rate Accuracy:
±2% of full scale plunger travel (not including syringe variation)
Syringe size and running force, variations of back pressure, or any
combination of these can affect time to alarm for occlusions and rate
accuracy. Factors that can influence 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.
Shock
Protection:
Type CF, Defibrillator-Proof
Time to Alarm,
