l.
Then select desired function with
t and follow the Instructions for Use as described.
5.1 Occlusion Pressure
The higher the pressure level is set at, the higher the pressure level must rise before
triggering an occlusion pressure alarm.
Using the occlusion pressure, the alarm sounding period can be kept short in the event
of system occlusions. It generally applies that the set pressure should always be set
higher than the system pressure. If pressure alarms occur in a pressure level without a
system occlusion, the pressure level must be adjusted upward. In order to be able to
ensure short alarm times, a low pressure level should be started with and the pressure
level increased until the infusion starts up.
Depending on the different influences, such as the tube length, tube diameter, viscosi-
ty of the liquid and the filter used in the system set-up, adjustments may need to be
made to the pressure level.
•
Enter pressure in Options Menu by pressing l.
•
Choose between nine pressure levels (1=lowest level; 9=highest level) by
pressing
l or r and confirm entry with k.
Note: The pressure will remain at set level until changed by user unless the drug
selected had a pressure level set in the drug library. When pump is powered off
pressure level returns to default value set in service program when powered
back on unless drug selected has a different pressure level set in the drug
library.
If occlussion pressure levels lower than the level 1 are needed, it can be
activated via the service tool.
Please contact your local sales representative for further data if you use
pressure levels below lever 1.
The top line is the current
infusion pressure. The buttom
dashed line shows the
pressure alarm setting,
currently 5 out of 9 which is
represented by 5 dashed. The
picture shows a current
presure of ~ 30 % of the
pressure level 5.
