We do the PPM and service for Graseby Syringe pump in our equipment library. We use Metron infusion Pump Tester to test Occulsion level.
I find out that most the time, the 3100 occulsion pressure is below 476mmHg (9.20 psi) (Suggest level from Manual). Normally, they are around 7 to 8 psi before I service them. Therefore, I have to adjust them to 476 – 556 mmHg (9.20 – 10.75 psi) according to the manul.
However, recently, we brought few brand new Graseby 3100 pumps from Smith medical. I checked them, their occulsion level are below 9.20psi.
Can any one who work on Graseby 3000 pumps gives some advices here? Do I make some mistake here or you also experience the same problem?
Many thanks.
I haven't had any problem with occlusion alarm limits.The area is quite large and it's quite easy to adjust the pressure.In my opinion when you test with Metron,syringe and distilled water you are closer to the real situation than with some kind of pressure gauge.
I mean is there any point to have occlusion alarm if it's not stable in real situation?
