| Issue: | It was reported to the manufacturer that pumps were generating false Flow Error alarms when a flow sensor was in use. The flow sensor is an ultrasonic device, which is attached to the drip chamber and detects if drops continue from the container into the drip chamber. If it detects no flow, a high priority alarm of 'No Flow' will be generated. If it detects too many drops, in relation to the programmed rate, a high priority alarm of 'Flow Error' will be generated |
