Curlin PainSmart User Manual - Med-E-Quip Locators

LED Light Indicators
This “three-light” feature gives the user feed back on the current status of the pump.
1 Green indicates a RUNNING status of the pump and blinks approximately once every three
seconds when a therapy is in progress.
2 Yellow indicates a STANDBY status of the pump and blinks while the pump is paused.
3 Red indicates a STOPPED or ALARM status of the pump and blinks whenever an alarm
status exists.
4 Green and Red indicates an “Infusion Complete Alarm” status with KVO or a Down
Occlusion Alarm with automatic restart.
5 Yellow and Green indicates a “Standby” status with automatic start. This occurs when a “0”
basal rate and bolus only is programmed.
Audio Indicator
An audible alarm or “beep” is used to alert you to a change in the status of the pump or a
situation requiring user action or notification. A message will appear on the display screen
describing the situation. The rate, number of beeps, and volume further specify status. This
pump offers nine different volume levels from which to select for the audio feature; however, the
“beep” cannot be totally disabled. The audio “beep” can be silenced for one-minute intervals by
pressing the “SILENCE” key except during an “Error Code,” at which time the alarm continues
and the pump must be turned off. The chapter of this manual entitled, Troubleshooting includes
tables with the alerts, alarms, and error codes, the conditions causing them, the message displayed
on the screen, and the actions required for resolution. If an alert or alarm occurs, please refer to
these tables.
Display Screen
The display screen provides a maximum of four lines of text, or fields, at any one time for
feedback regarding the pump status and data entry. It notifies the user with prompts or messages
when necessary. The screen has backlighting that remains:
• on if connected to an AC outlet;
• lit for 15 seconds if using batteries or during any key press sequences,
• on with alert/alarm messages.
When no keys are pressed for 15 seconds, the light goes off to conserve battery power.
Backlighting is resumed with any key press.
Learning Pump
In most displays, a “Therapy Identifier” Bar appears at the far left of the screen, indicating which
therapy is running or which programming screen is being considered. This identifier also has
another function, and that is to alert you when more text exists either above the top line or below
the bottom line on the display screen. The identifier bar will have an arrow configuration either
pointing up or down or both whenever there is more text, or it will appear as a squared-off block
if no further text exists.
