3. If a new set is being loaded, prime the set. See Adjust the flow rate using set’s roller clamp.Prime on
page 79 for more information.
4. Open the pump module door.
5. Load the administration set, as follows:
a. Hold upper fitment above fitment recess a
nd lower into recess. The upper fitment fits loosely in
the recess.
b. Ensure that tubing is not twisted or stretched.
c. Press the safety clamp fitment into recess below mechanism.
d. Using a finger tip, firmly push tubing toward back of air-in-line (AIL) detector.
• Avoid use of manifolds with ports containing high pressure valves. High pressure valves
require additional pressure (for example, 50 - 200 mmHg) to open and allow fluid flow. These
high pressure valves may cause a significant delay in therapy followed by a sudden bolus
once the valve is opened, particularly at low infusion rates (for example, < 5 mL/h, and
especially flow rates < 0.5 mL/h).
• Failure to follow proper administration set loading instructions might lead to an instrument
malfunction.
• Before operating the instrument, verify that the administration set is free from kinks and
correctly installed.
• Insert upper fitment before installing safety clamp
fitment.
• When reloading an administration set, leave the safety clamp
fitment in the closed position
(see Safety Clamp Fitment (Pump Module) on page 174).
