Up Stream Occlusion Alarm Feature<br />

The <strong>Curlin</strong> <strong>Med</strong>ical pump has an Up Stream Occlusion alarm feature, e.g., it detects low upstream<br />

pressure. This feature notifies you if an occlusion is present between the IV container and<br />

the pump. If this alarm occurs, the display will read, “ALARM –UP OCCLUSION,” the alarm<br />

will sound, the red LED light will blink, and the infusion will stop. This situation requires that you<br />

press the “Pause” key, examine the administration set from the IV container to the pump for<br />

potential causes of the occlusion. If a clamp is in place, open, or remove it; if the administration<br />

set is kinked, straighten it. If indicated, close the slide clamp on the administration set and open<br />

the door of the pump to verify that the set is correctly placed. Close the pump’s door and reopen<br />

the slide clamp. When ready to begin infusing, select “RESUME” and then press the “RUN”<br />

key.<br />

The pump also detects excessive up stream pressure (pressure on the IV bag). The display will<br />

read “ALARM – HIGH UP PRESSURE,” the alarm will sound, the red LED light will blink, and<br />

the infusion will stop. If this situation occurs, relieve the source of excessive pressure on the IV<br />

bag and when ready to begin infusing, select “RESUME” and then press the “RUN” key.<br />

Note: The up stream occlusion detection is disabled during priming.<br />
