SAFETY AND
MONITORING
Infusate Temperature
Via infra-red sensors at the input and output to the
heat exchanger.
Line Pressure
A pressure transducer monitors the in line pressure.
If the pressure reaches the threshold set by the user,
the pump will slow down until pressure falls below
the threshold. If the in-line pressure rises faster than
40 mmHg/ml or exceeds 400 mmHg, an alarm
sounds, the "HIGH PRESSURE" message is
displayed, the line to the patient is closed and pump
comes to an immediate stop.
Air Detection
Two ultrasonic air detectors monitor air in the fluid
path. The fluid detector is mounted closest to the
fluid bag. It sounds an alarm if there is no fluid
entering the system. The other air detector checks
for air in the fluid line before it enters the patient line.
Out of Fluid criterion: Detect 0.8ml air in input line
Air detection criterion: Detect 0.1ml air in fluid line
Diversion Valve
Provides flow path to patient, or recirculation fluid
path within the system. The recirculation path is
used to prime the system and eliminate air after an
air detection alarm or after every 500 ml of fluid
infused. The recirculation path is activated at all
alarm conditions.
