How does the downstream occlusion alarm work, and what degree of occlusion sets it off?
The downstream pressure sensor will alarm when the pressure reaches 400 mmHg or 900 mmHg (±150 mmHg) depending on the low or high setting. The alarm will cause the infusion to stop. The infusion will resume automatically when the occlusion is cleared. The ability to adjust from low to high setting eliminates annoying false “down occlusion alarms” when using smaller catheters.
