OPERATION
upstream sensor calibrates on the current existing underpressure in the line and
air might pass the AirStop membrane. In this case please ensure that the the
drip chamber is refilled and then open the door for recalibration of the
upstream sensor.
1.2 Entry With Different Combinations of Rate, VTBI
(= Volume To Be Infused) and Time
The Infusomat® Space P offers the possibility to enter a volume- and time limit in
addition to an infusion rate. When two of these parameters are entered, the third is
calculated by the pump. If a volume and/or time is preselected, an arrow symbol is
placed in front of one of these parameters in the Main Menu. It is called the “target”.
During the infusion of the pump, this target symbol is displayed next to the moving
arrows in the run display (this symbol is not visible in case TCI is used). This indicates
that the pump has been programmed, either with a volume- or time limit. The assign-
ment of the target symbol, apparent in the Main Menu, shows the established para-
meter for the application (VTBI or time). When the rate is changed, the so-called target
parameter is principally not adjusted to the new rate but to the parameter which does
not have the target symbol in front. After the infusion has started, the remaining VTBI
and time are displayed in the status menu and the run display (values are counting
down).
1.) Enter VTBI and time: The infusion rate will be calculated and displayed on the
bottom of the display.
Target: Volume
• Select VTBI with t and open with l.
• Enter VTBI with q and confirm with k.
• Select time with t and open with l.
• Enter time with q and confirm with k.
Check calculated rate on plausibility.
Proceed in the same way to calculate 2.) and 3.).
2.) Infusion with volume limit
Enter rate and VTBI: The infusion time will be calculated and displayed on the
bottom of the display.
Target: VTBI
3.) Infusion with time limit
Enter rate and time: The infusion volume will be calculated and displayed on the
bottom of the display.
Target: Time
Changing already entered values of VTBI and time (rate, VTBI and time already exist
at the point of change):
