Priming the Set with the Syringe
You can prime the PCA administration set manually using the syringe,
or you can prime it using the Alaris® PCA module, if this priming
option has been configured in
your
PCA module.
Priming using the Alaris® PCA module will appear
only after the syringe selection type and size and medication type
have been specified,
and
prior
to beginning
an
infusion. To prime the PCA administration set using the Alaris® PCA
module:
- Press the Options key.
- Press the Prime Set with Syringe soft key.
- Ensure that the security key is in the PROGRAM position.
- Press and
hold the Prime soft key until fluid flows and
priming of administration set is complete.
- Release the Prime soft key when priming is complete.
- Press Exit to return to the main screen.
