Alaris™ CC Syringe Pump and the Alaris™ CC Guardrails Syringe Pump.

Auto Set Pressure (If enabled)

If the Auto Set Pressure Option is enabled then the pump automatically adjusts the

pressure occlusion limit.

After 15 minutes of infusion the pump automatically adjusts the occlusion pressure

limit to X mmHg above the average infusion pressure, taken from the average of the last

ﬁve minutes of infusion.

The pressure adjusted, X, which takes the AUTO OFFSET value conﬁgured and scales it

dependent on the average infusion pressure.

At pressures up to 100mmHg the AUTO OFFSET value is added. From this pressure to

above, the alarm level is set to whatever the AUTO OFFSET value is as a percentage

above the average infusion pressure up to the maximum pressure of 1000mmHg.

Pole Clamp Installation

Top edge

Recess

• Ensure the pole clamp is not protruding

above the top edge of the pump and is

not bent. If bent or damaged contact your

local BD representative for

a replacement part, if required.



Check the pole clamp is in the

folded position and is stored

in the recess, beneath the top

edge of the pump, when the pole

clamp is not in use.

The pole clamp is ﬁtted to the rear of the pump and will provide secure ﬁxing to

vertical I.V. poles of a diameter between 15 and 40 mm.

1. Pull the folded pole clamp down and

unscrew the clamp to leave enough room

for the size of the pole.

2. Place pump around pole and tighten

screw until the clamp is secured to

the pole.

Mounting/Removing Pumps

0000CF04465 Iss. 1 15/16

Mounting Pumps

1. Align the rotating cam on the rear

of the pump with the rectangular

bar.

2. Hold the pump horizontally,

push the pump ﬁrmly onto the

rectangular bar or equipment rail.

3. The pump should click into position

when ﬁtted to the bar.

4. Ensure that the pump is positioned

securely. Check pump is secure by

rocking pump from side to side with

both hands before leaving pump

in place.
