OPERATION pump jumps to the Main Menu. If you select d with no drop sensor connected, you must first enter a VTBI which is smaller than the container filling and confirm it with k
.
Note: At rates smaller 1 ml/h the detection of a closed roller clamp cannot always be ensured due to physical reasons. Therefore it is recommended especially at small rates to use a drop sensor.
Adjusting the delivey rate:
• In the Main Menu, open the rate with l and set it with q .
• Press s to start the infusion. Running arrows on the display and the green
LED indicate that the pump is infusing.
Note: The running infusion can be cancelled at any time by pressing s
. The pump can be turned off at any time by pressing o for 3 sec (Exception: Data lock level 2) and as long a disposable is inserted.
1.2 Entry With Different Combinations of Rate, VTBI
(= Volume To Be Infused) and Time
The Infusomat® Space offers the possibility to enter a volume- and time limit in addition to an infusion rate. When two of these parameters are entered, the third is calculated by the pump. If a volume and/or time is preselected, an arrow symbol is placed in front of one of these parameters in the Main Menu. It is called the “target”.
During the infusion of the pump, this target symbol is displayed next to the moving arrows in the run display (this symbol is not visible in case TCI is used). This indicates that the pump has been programmed, either with a volume- or time limit. The assignment of the target symbol, apparent in the Main Menu, shows the established parameter for the application (VTBI or time). When the rate is changed, the so-called target parameter is principally not adjusted to the new rate but to the parameter which does not have the target symbol in front. After the infusion has started, the remaining VTBI and time are displayed in the Main Menu and the run display (values are counting down).
1.) Enter VTBI and time: The infusion rate will be calculated and displayed on the bottom of the display.
Target: Volume
•
Select VTBI with t and open with l
.
•
Enter VTBI with q and confirm with k .
•
Select time with t and open with l
.
• Enter time with q and confirm with k .
Check calculated rate on plausibility.
Proceed in the same way to calculate 2.) and 3.).
