Responding to an Air-in-Line Alarm
If you see air in the detector:
- Press the RESTART key on the Alaris® Pump module to advance the air past the detector.
- Remove the air from the line according to hospital policy.
If you do not see air in the detector:
- Silence the alarm and close the roller clamp.
- Open the Alaris® Pump module door and firmly press tubing
toward the back of the detector.
- Close the door and open the roller clamp.
- Restart the infusion.
- If the alarm still occurs repeat this procedure, but in step 2
remove the tubing and clean the detector with a water-moistened Q-tip.
