Figure 2.10 Top Cutaway View of the Moog Curlin Infusion Pump with Moog Curlin Infusion
Administration Set in Proper Installation Position
Up Stream Occlusion Alarm Feature
The Moog Curlin Infusion pump has an Up Stream Occlusion alarm feature, e.g., it detects low
up-stream pressure. This feature notifies you if an occlusion is present between the IV container and
the pump. If this alarm occurs, the display will read, “ALARM –UP OCCLUSION,” the alarm will
sound, the red LED light will blink, and the infusion will stop. This situation requires that you press
the PAUSE key and examine the administration set from the IV container to the pump for potential
causes of the occlusion. If a clamp is in place, open or remove it; if the administration set is kinked,
straighten it. If indicated, close the slide clamp on the administration set and open the door of the
pump to verify that the set is correctly placed. Close the pump’s door and reopen the slide clamp.
When ready to begin infusing, select “RESUME” and then press the RUN key.
The pump also detects excessive up stream pressure (pressure on the IV bag). The display will read
“ALARM – HIGH UP PRESSURE,” the alarm will sound, the red LED light will blink, and the
infusion will stop. If this situation occurs, relieve the source of excessive pressure on the IV bag and
when ready to begin infusing, select “RESUME” and then press the RUN key.
Note: The up stream occlusion detection is disabled during priming.
