1. Press
OPTIONS key.
When priming:
• Ensure that patient is not connected.
• Ensure that air is expelled from line prior to beginning infusion (unexpelled air in line
could have serious consequences).
Failure to prime correctly can delay infusion delivery and cause the total volume to be
infused to read higher than the actual total delivered to the patient.
During priming, the pressure limit alarms are temporarily increased to their maximum level.
