When sending the pump in to Manufacturer they claim the pump is only under infusing at -4%. We had this happened to many Sigma Spectrum Pumps. We use certified Flowtrax II system also a certified scale to confirm. We also follow the manufacturers recommendation on test parameters and setup. Anyone else having this issue with these pumps? We do not have any issue testing any other brand of pumps including the older Baxter 6201's.Reply |

Here are some tips for troubleshooting upstream occlusion alarms that can not be reproduced by bench testing:1) Keep tubing channel clean and dry. 2)Use only compatible IV sets. 3) Warm fluids to room temp prior to IV Set priming. 4) Fill IV set drip chambers 1/2 to 3/4 full. 5) Invert IV bags to mix (do not shake). 6) Avoid excessive lengths of tubing above the pump. 7) Check all set connections, vents, and filters. 8) Do not load deformed tubing sections into channel. 9) Do not use sets beyond recommended interval. If a Nuisance Alarm is suspected - Check for micro-bubbles and/or deformed tubing in front of the Upstream Sensor. Load a fresh section of the IV set into the tubing channel if bubbles are present.Reply |
