Omni-Flow ® 4000 Plus Medication Management System
Training for Priming Administration Sets with
Pressure-Activated Anti-Siphon Valve(s)
The following training material covers priming steps for Omni-Flow ‚ 4000 Plus Medication Management
System‰ with administration sets with Pressure-Activated Anti-Siphon Valve(s). This training supplements
the complete instructions from the Omni-Flow 4000 Plus I.V. Medication System Operation’s Manual.
1. Overview of the important information on the use of the
Omni-Flow administration sets with Pressure-Activated
Anti-Siphon Valve(s)
The Omni-Flow administration sets with Pressure-Activated Anti-Siphon
Valve(s) reduces the potential for gravity flow if the cassette is removed
from the device without closing the clamps. The pressure-activated antisiphon
valve(s) do(es) not prevent mixing of the drug lines. Remember to
close all clamps before removing cassette from pump.
The pressure-activated anti-siphon valve(s) require(s) pressure to open.
The pump occlusion pressure setting may require adjustment to prevent
occlusion alarms.
Administration sets with Pressure-Activated Anti-Siphon Valve(s) must be
primed on the Omni-Flow pump.
2. Prepare I.V. Administration Set and I.V. Container
Select the desired Omni-Flow administration set with Pressure-Activated
Anti-Siphon Valve(s).
o Remove set from package
o Close upper clamp on Line A and check to ensure all luer lock
protectors on cassette are tight, but do not over tighten
Prepare I.V. container:
o Remove spike protector
o Insert piercing pin into container outlet with a twisting motion
o Fill drip chamber to score mark or full
o Hang I.V. container on I.V. pole

3. Prepare Omni-Flow Pump and Inserting Set
o Confirm the cassette lever is in the locked position
o Toggle the [ON/CHARGE] switch, located in the rear of the pump,
to the ON position
o The Restore Previous Programming message is displayed, select
YES or NO
o Slowly pull up and turn the cassette-locking lever to the unlocked
position
o Insert the cassette by grasping the cassette so that the collection
bag and patient line are at the top and the luer lock connectors are
pointing to the right
o Insert cassette into holster located along the right side of the pump
o Slowly turn the cassette-locking lever to the locked position.
o To secure, press down on the cassette lever
o Remind the clinician to turn the locking lever slowly to
prevent sudden release of spring mechanism
o Open all clamps on the set and confirm no fluid is flowing in the
drip chamber on Line A
o Attach the air elimination bag to hanger located on the bottom
right corner of the pump
4. Cassette Priming
When “Priming the Cassette” screen is displayed and the [Prime Cassette]
key is Pressed and Released, the pumping action of the system pulls
fluid from Line A into the cassette thereby clearing air into the air
elimination bag.
Steps for Power Prime Cassette:
o Press and Release [Prime Cassette] key on Line A
o After all air is cleared from the cassette into collection bag, press
the [ENTER] key
o Attach any extension sets or other devices to the distal end of the
patient line

5. Patient Line Priming
There are two options for priming the Patient Line: (A) Power Prime and
(B) Set Rate Prime.
A. Patient Line Power Prime Steps
When “Priming the Patient Line” screen is displayed and the [Prime
Patient Line] key is Pressed and Released, the pumping action of
the system pulls fluid from Line A into the cassette and down the
patient line thereby clearing air from the patient line. The pressureactivated
anti-siphon valve(s) prevent(s) gravity prime mode from
priming the patient line.
Steps for Power Prime Patient Line:
o Press and Release [Prime Patient Line] key on Line A to
power prime line
o NOTE: If additional power primes are needed to prime the
patient line, repeat the following steps
� Press the [Escape] key
� When the Cassette Test Screen displays, enter
[YES] to bypass the cassette test and return to
the base screen
� When the base screen displays, press Line A
[Prime Patient Line] to power prime the patient
line
o Press the [ENTER] key when the patient line is fully primed.
The device performs a 36 second cassette test.
o Following successful completion of cassette test the pump is
ready to program.

B. Patient Line Set Rate Priming
When “Priming the Patient Line” screen is displayed, press the
[ENTER] key. Select Line A continuous infusion. The pumping
action of the system pulls fluid from Line A into the cassette and
down the patient line thereby clearing air from the patient line. The
pressure-activated anti-siphon valve(s) prevent(s) gravity prime
mode from priming the patient line.
Steps for Rate Set Prime Patient Line:
o Press [ENTER]
o Press [ESCAPE]
o Select [YES] to bypass the Cassette Test
o Press [ENTER]
o Press [Continuous] for Line A
o Enter a rate of 300 mL/hr and a total volume of 3 mL
o NOTE: The additions of any extension sets or other devices
may require additional volume
o Press the [ENTER] key and delivery will begin
o When patient line is fully primed, Press Stop for Line A and
then press the [ENTER] key
(While priming, the alarm may sound but pumping will
continue. Allow the infusion pump to continue until the line
is fully primed.)
o If the alarm sounds, press Mute twice followed by Stop for
Line A and then press the [ENTER] key
