ALARMS
The Infusomat® Space is equipped with an audible and optical alarm signal.
3.1 Device Alarms
When a device alarm occurs the infusion is immediately stopped and display indicates
"device alarm" with a code. The audible alarm is unique. Press o to switch off the
device. Then switch the device on again. In the case of a repeated device alarm the
pump must be sent for service.
3.2 Pre-Alarms and Operating Alarms
Pre-alarms:
Pre-alarms are set in the service program. Pre-alarms occur a few minutes (specific
time set in service settings) prior to operating alarms. During pre-alarms an audible
tone sounds, the yellow LED is constantly on and a staff call is activated (optional). The
display message varies depending on the reason for the alarm. The signal tone and the
staff call are turned off with
k. Display and LED stay in pre-alarm until condition
causing the pre-alarm results in an operating alarm. Pre-alarms do not stop the infusion.
Display message Pre-alarm reason
“VTBI near end“ The programmed volume is almost infused.
“Time near end“ The programmed time is almost over.
“Battery nearly empty“ The battery is almost discharged.
“KVO mode“ VTBI or time are complete and the pump
converted to the KVO rate.
