Up Stream Occlusion Alarm Feature
The Curlin Medical pump has an Up Stream Occlusion alarm feature, e.g., it detects low up-
stream pressure. This feature notifies you if an occlusion is present between the IV container and
the pump. If this alarm occurs, the display will read, “ALARM –UP OCCLUSION,” the alarm
will sound, the red LED light will blink, and the infusion will stop. This situation requires that you
press the “Pause” key, examine the administration set from the IV container to the pump for
potential causes of the occlusion. If a clamp is in place, open, or remove it; if the administration
set is kinked, straighten it. If indicated, close the slide clamp on the administration set and open
the door of the pump to verify that the set is correctly placed. Close the pump’s door and reopen
the slide clamp. When ready to begin infusing, select “RESUME” and then press the “RUN”
key.
The pump also detects excessive up stream pressure (pressure on the IV bag). The display will
read “ALARM – HIGH UP PRESSURE,” the alarm will sound, the red LED light will blink, and
the infusion will stop. If this situation occurs, relieve the source of excessive pressure on the IV
bag and when ready to begin infusing, select “RESUME” and then press the “RUN” key.
Note: The up stream occlusion detection is disabled during priming.
