What to do if I keep getting occlusion alarm on infusion device with Pronk Technologies Flow Trax FT-2?
- J
  Joseph LopezAug 18, 2025
  If you keep getting an occlusion alarm on your infusion device while using Pronk Technologies Measuring Instruments FlowTrax, ensure the occlusion knob on the FlowTrax is completely turned counter-clockwise to allow fluid flow. If the alarm persists, remove the filter assembly and inspect it for particles or contamination. Clean the filter assembly and reinstall it.

How to troubleshoot inaccurate flow rate on Pronk Technologies Flow Trax FT-2?
- B
  brownnancyAug 23, 2025
  If the flow rate doesn't seem accurate on Pronk Technologies Measuring Instruments, especially with pumps that have inconsistent flow patterns, use the volume divided by time (V/T) for accurate flow rates. To set this up, press SETUP, then MORE, then READINGS, and select VOL/TIME.

What to do if “Prime Required” message appears on Pronk Technologies Measuring Instruments?
- M
  Michael LinAug 28, 2025
  If the “Prime Required” message intermittently appears on Pronk Technologies Measuring Instruments, it means FlowTrax has determined the bubble in the glass tube assembly is not adequate for accurately measuring flow/volume. To resolve this, press FUNCTION, then press FLUSH. Program IV pump for 900ml/hr, 10ml volume. Start IV pump. When complete, program IV pump for 600ml/hr, 20ml volume. While running this rate, press EXIT on FlowTrax. Continue this rate until “Prime Required” message goes away.

Why Glass Tube Sensor Carriage does not move on Pronk Technologies Measuring Instruments?
- M
  moransarahAug 30, 2025
  If the Glass Tube Sensor Carriage does not move when priming or attempting to take a measurement with Pronk Technologies Measuring Instruments, it’s possible a small bubble is stuck against the glass tube. Press FUNCTION, then CLEAN GLASS to remove water and small air bubble, and then re-prime. If the problem persists, press FUNCTION, then CLEAN GLASS again, remove the glass tube, clean it with a bottle brush and cleaning solution, flush the cleaning solution, and re-install the glass tube.

- D
  Dale WallaceSep 2, 2025
  If the “TILT” message won’t clear or flashes on and off on Pronk Technologies Measuring Instruments, and you're sure the FlowTrax is on a level surface, press SETUP, then MORE, then CHK TILT. Press ZERO in the upper right corner to calibrate the accelerometer to the level surface.

What to do if volume number stopped during test on Pronk Technologies Flow Trax FT-2 Measuring Instruments?
- B
  brittanydavisSep 4, 2025
  If the volume number stopped during the test, or came out much lower than expected on Pronk Technologies Measuring Instruments, remove the IV set from the input. Press the FUNCTION button, then the CLEAN GLASS button. Remove the glass tube. Clean the glass tubes with a bottle brush and the cleaning solution provided. Flush out the cleaning solution from the glass with the flush bottle provided. Re-install the glass tube. If running a low rate test (1-20ml/hr), place the FlowTrax on its back (horizontal) for optimal performance.

Why can’t I remove all bubbles from Pronk Technologies Measuring Instruments?
- T
  Tina TravisSep 6, 2025
  Do not try to remove or expel the “tracking bubble” from Pronk Technologies Measuring Instruments. FlowTrax will generate a “tracking” bubble once it determines that the glass tubes are full of water and no other unwanted bubbles are present.

Why DataSnap won’t capture data on Pronk Technologies Measuring Instruments?
- B
  Bradley SerranoSep 9, 2025
  If DataSnap won’t capture data or control FlowTrax on Pronk Technologies Measuring Instruments, make sure that the TWedge program is active / launched, the com port selection in TWedge, Configure, Interface is correct for your PC and that FlowTrax is on and connected with adapter cables to your PC.
