7. Insert pressure sensing disc (if used), as follows:
a. Orient pressure sensing disc, as follows:
°
fluid side up (patient side down)
°
cavity forward (membrane toward instrument)
b. Gently slide pressure sensing disc up
into slot in pressure sensing disc housing.
When the pressure sensing disc is not being used and an occlusion occurs, there is a risk of
infusing pressurized buildup of infusates upon correction of the occlusion. To avoid an
inadvertent bolus, relieve the pressure before restarting the infusion.
