Outer case
Attaching the dedicated drip sensor allows monitoring of the dripping
status inside the drip chamber, and indicates free flow, empty line (solution
run-out) or any abnormal flow rate with an alarm.
The mechanism of the drip detection and abnormal flow rate detection of
the drip sensor is as follows:
• The drip detection detects the “change in light quantity” as a droplet
(drug solution) passes the light sensor of the drip sensor and determines
it as a drip. (If there is no “change in light quantity”, it is determined as
no-drip status)
• The abnormal flow rate detection makes decisions based on the relative
relationship, whether or not there are drips, and the drip timing. However,
the detection capability is limited, and in the case of a rapid free flow
such as chained drips (continuous flow), a fault cannot be detected as
drips due to a small “change in light quantity”.
Warnings
• Always check the infusion status (dripping status, decreasing
volume of drug solution) and puncture site at the start of the
infusion.
• Even if the drip sensor is used, there may be a free flow or
abnormal flow rate that cannot be detected.
• This product notifies if a free flow is detected, but cannot stop the
free flow.
Cautions
• When using low- or high-viscosity drug solutions (e.g. glucose
injection), this product may issue a Flow Rate Abnormality alarm
and stop operation of the pump even when the state of the solution
delivery is normal.
• Do not use any drip sensor other than that included. Otherwise drip
detection or function of alarms cannot be guaranteed.
• Do not disconnect the plug of drip sensor during solution delivery.
If the plug of drip sensor is disconnected from the drip sensor
connector during solution delivery, Drip Sensor Dislocation error will
be issued and the pump will stop.
• Be sure to turn off the power before connecting/disconnecting the
drip sensor.
