Essential Performance
The modules are designed to accurately deliver the programmed amount of the medication or fluid over the
programmed time period. The modules ensure that an infusion is not being inadvertently delivered when
the user expects the system to be in a paused, stopped, or off condition. The modules employ measurement
systems to detect and alarm for conditions adverse to safe administration of fluid. These include
measurements of proper infusion set loading (free flow detection), pressure (occlusion detection), and
air-in-line detection.
The EtCO
2
and SpO
2
modules monitor and alarm when a patient physiological condition is out of range.
The pump and syringe modules are intended for
facilities that utilize infusion and/or syringe pumps for the
delivery of fluids, medications, blood, and blood products using continuous or intermittent delivery
through clinically acceptable routes of administration, such as - intravenous (IV), intra-arterial (IA),
subcutaneous, epidural, enteral, or irrigation of fluid spaces. The pump and syringe modules are indicated
for use on adults, pediatrics, and neonates. Up to four pump and/or syringe modules can be connected to
the system.
