BD ALARIS SYRINGE MODULE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

BD ALARIS SYRINGE MODULE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 1. To avoid potential start up delays, delivery inaccuracies, and delayed gen- eration of occlusion alarms, it is recommended to: (select all that apply) - Use the smallest syringe size possible - Use the Prime Set with Syringe feature each time a syringe is loaded - Keep the device as close to the patient's heart level as possible by aligning with the Channel Select key - Use manifolds with ports containing high pressure valves: - Use the smallest syringe size possible - Use the Prime Set with Syringe feature each time a syringe is loaded - Keep the device as close to the patient's heart level as possible by aligning with the Channel Select key 2. When utilizing a pre-run practice, use components which have the smallest internal volume or dead space and keep the distal end of the set at or above the device level. - True - False: - True 3. The pressure sensing disc significantly improves the Syringe module's pressure -sensing capabilities for a faster occlusion detection time. - True - False: - True 4. For smaller syringe sizes, it is recommended to stabilize the syringe plunger with your thumb and index finger while lowering the drive head, ensuring the drive head sensor makes contact with the plunger top. - True - False: - True 5. If the patient cannot tolerate the time it takes to perform a subsequent syringe change procedure, it is recommended that a new syringe and set are prepared on a second syringe module. - True - False: - True 6. When preparing to remove the empty syringe and attach a flush, always turn off the fluid flow to the patient by utilizing the tubing clamp and/or stop cock. BD ALARIS SYRINGE MODULE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS - True - False: - True 7. If the size and brand of your syringe isn't immediately noted after pressing Channel Select, choose the ALL SYRINGES soft key to reveal more options. - True - False: - True 8. If the duration of the program is less than or equal to the configured limit set in the Guardrails editor, the NEOI alarm will occur at the start of the infusion. - True - False: - True 9. Utilizing the Restore feature on a previously programmed medication for a flush allows the name of the medication you are flushing to scroll across the display screen. However, there will be no indication there is a flush syringe loaded into the syringe module. - True - False: - True 10. Starting the infusion before attaching to the patient helps to minimize any potential bolus that could be released from pressure build up in the set due to normal priming and syringe loading. - True - False: - True 11. Utilizing the Flush option from the Guardrails IV Fluid library requires the user to program the correct rate and VTBI as the previous values will not be recalled. - True - False: - True 12. The numeric pressure display is only available when a pressure sensing disc is inserted. - True - False: - True 13. When appropriate, you can choose to edit the pressure alarm limit.
