3. OPERATING ISSUES

3.1

Infusion stopped, insufficient or absent due to a device malfunction

If the infusion stops due to a device malfunction, characterised by a failure in bag pressurisation, this

incident may be confirmed by:



In the case where the drip chamber can be used upright (case 2.3 1-a described above): a

lack of drip flow in the drip chamber.



In the case where the drip chamber cannot be used upright (case 2.3 1-b described above)

and the case where the line does not have a drip chamber: a lack of flow of the infusion

solute under pressure when the Droper Field is at the same level as the patient and when

the external port of the 3-way stopcock is open.



In all cases, observation of the patient's blood being drawn back into the infusion tubing

when the Droper Field is at the same level as the patient (tubing being comprised at this

point by the extension)

Firstly check that the cover of the Droper Field has been closed correctly. Where necessary, open and

re-close the cover.

In the event that the cover is closed correctly, open the Droper Field 1000, unfasten the mobile plate

from its tightening clips, check the following points and implement the relevant actions:



Check that there are no objects blocking the mechanism. If this is the case, remove the

object

– Reinstall the mobile plate onto the mechanism by replacing the clips using pressure. Re-

pressurise the system.



Check that one or several springs have not stopped working.

– Remove the infusion pocket and continue the infusion by gravity or physical pressure or

change device. Send the Droper Field 1000 to the maintenance department for repair.



Check whether the clamp, roller clamp or flow regulator is set to the OFF position

– Reposition the clamp, roller clamp or flow regulator to the desired position.



Check whether the infusion line is being clamped by excessive bending of the latter

– Remove this bend.



Check whether the infusion line is being clamped by an object crushing the line

– Remove this object.



Check whether the infusion line was clamped between the cover and the plate when

arming the Droper Field 1000

– Open the Droper Field 1000 and move the infusion line.
