Sigma 6000+ - Program Options

PROGRAM OPTIONS
The SIGMA 6000+ Programmable has a number of program options which allow the. Biomedical
Engineer (Technician) to customize certain functions of the pump to fill the requirements of various
medical departments.

Options Available:
Mandatory Flow Sensor
Total Volume Display
Maximum RATE and VOLUME settings.
Low RATE Limit
PIGGYBACK/PROGRAM Enable (Disable) Option
VY
Mandatory Flow Sensor
1.1 Standard Operation — The unit will allow the user the option of using or not using the Flow
© — Sensor during infusions to detect Proximal Occlusions. In Program Mode when Flow Sensor is
plugged in, the air-in-line alarm system is deactivated. Flow Sensor acts as an alternative air
detection system.
1.2 Mandatory Operation ~ If this option has been initiated, the Flow Sensor MUST be installed
before the unit will start infusing. If RUN is pressed without the Flow Sensor installed unit will
alarm and display “FLOW SNSR’. The unit will not start the infusion until a Flow Sensor is
installed.
1.3 To enable (or disable) this option, with the unit OFF, hold the #7 key down while turning the unit
ON. An audible “beep” will sound when access has been completed. Release the #7 key. The
display will show the present condition of the option, “SNSR OFF” (standard operation) or
“SNSR ON” (mandatory operation). To toggle the option on or off, digits 3,0,3 must be pressed
within 5 seconds of releasing the #7 key. After completing the selection, press OFF. This
selection will remain in the non-volatile memory (battery backed RAM).
Total Volume Display
2.1 Standard Operation — While infusing, the unit ‘displays the word “RATE” (left hand display) with
a rolling motion. For example: “R YYY”, “RA YYY”, “RAT YYY”, “RATE YYY” (YYY
= entered rate). The entered rate (right ‘hand display) will stay constant.
NOTE: If the unit is operating on battery, the “BATT ON” display will be inserted into this rate
display sequence.
2.2 Total Volume Operation — If this option has been initiated, the unit will insert a display of the
Total Volume Infused “TOT XXXX” (XXXX = total volume infused) into the rate display
sequence (section 2.1).
2.3 To enable (or disable) this option, with the unit OFF, hold the #8 key down while turning the unit
ON. An audible “beep” will sound when access has been completed. Release the #8 key. The
display will show the present condition of the option, “TOT OFF” or “TOT ON”, To toggle the
«Condition on or off, digits 3, 0, 3 must be pressed within 5 seconds of releasing the #8 key. After
completing the selection, press OFF. This will maintain the selection in the non-volatile memory
(battery backed RAM).
. Maximum RATE and VOLUME Settings
3.1 Standard Operation — Default setting for maximum Rate is 999ml/hr and for maximum Volume is
9999ml.
3.2 Maximum Settings — This option allows the Biomedical Engineer to set the maximum Rate
and/or Volume. This will restrict the user from infusing too much or at too fast a Rate. If the
user attempts to set the Rate or Volume above the maximum limits, the unit will alarm and
display “RATE ERR” or “VOL ERR” and reset the entered parameter to 0. The lowest
maximum Rate setting allowed is 20 mi/hr. The lowest maximum Volume setting allowed is
