Troubleshooting
This section assists in identifying and resolving alert and alarm conditions that may occur during the use of the
Curlin Medical pump.
Alerts, Alarms, and Error Codes
Alerts, Alarms, and Error Codes are classes of events that are relayed
to the user and logged into the history file. The screen will display
messages, the LED status lights will blink, and the audio alarm will
sound. The backlight feature will illuminate the screen during an alert
or alarm.
If the batteries have been dislodged or are so low in power that they
cannot operate the pump, a solid tone may occur accompanied by a
blank display screen and a constant red alarm light. In this event,
replace the batteries.
ALERTS
Alerts report conditions that require attention from the user but may not be safety issues.
When an alert occurs, a message is displayed on the LCD screen, and the audio alarm is
sounded. The message displays on the screen for three seconds if it is a user-initiated alert,
such as a wrong key press. If it is an automatic alert occurring while a therapy is infusing,
such as “low battery,” the message displays for twenty seconds. If it is an alert that requires
a user response, the alert remains displayed until the user presses one of the keys specified
on the screen. The following is a list of the alerts in alphabetical order.
LCD Display: ALERT AIR SENS OFF. Using In Line Filter?
Alert: Air-In-Line Sensor Disabled
Cause: The Air-In-Line Sensor has been disabled and either the “RUN” key has
been pressed to run an infusion or the AIR SENS setting has been set to
OFF on the Options menu while the pump is running.
Resolution: If an air-eliminating filter is being used, press YES. The infusion will
start/resume and the Air In Line sensitivity will be disabled until the empty
bag alert occurs or infusion complete is reached. No “AIR IN LINE”
alarms will occur while the air sensitivity is disabled.
