DELIVERY (SECONDARY FOLLOWED AUTOMATICALLY BY PRIMARY)
MODES.
The Plum A+ features concurrent or piggyback delivery modes
when program requires administering more than one fluid.
In addition to standard containers, the Plum A+ can use
syringes on the secondary port. The secondary line can be
prepared without removing or repriming the cassette.
Before preparing the secondary line, observe the following
guidelines:
• Review the backpriming function.
• Attach the secondary container using an 18- or 19-
gauge, 31 mm (or shorter) needle, if the cassette
secondary inlet port has a piercing reseal.
• Syringes must be larger than 3 cc. Use syringe
adapter (List 11986-48) when using syringes smaller
than 10 cc. Some 10 cc syringes may require use of
a syringe adapter. Syringes larger than 10 cc may be
attached directly to the secondary port of the
cassette. Use of a syringe adapter may decrease the
occurrence of proximal occlusion alarms.
• When using a syringe adapter, retract the plunger to
draw approximately 1 mL of fluid into the syringe to
clear air from the adapter filter.
To prepare the secondary line, use aseptic technique and
proceed as follows:
1 With cassette door closed: Loosen and
remove white cap, then discard. Add
secondary tubing or syringe.
2 Open all proximal clamps before pressing
[START].
