I too found this video extremely helpful. I get a lot of "distal occlusion" error alarms with this pump. Thanks again.

Thanks for sharing. We just received this device as a donation to our icu, here in Freetown, Sierra Leone. However, only one(1) primary plum set was sent with it.I hope more people will donate so we can be able to use it. Thank you very much for sharing this video

Appreciate this training, but I have to say I absolutely hate these pumps. They claim to have fewer air in line alarms, but this is absolutely not true. These stupid pumps are alarming constantly. It’s also ridiculous how cumbersome these pumps are. At max you can have 2 medications running through the pump at a time. If either of those medications is titratable though it makes it unsafe to have any other infusions going with it except for maybe a maintenance IVF. When you have sick icu patients on as many as 10-20 drips (this is not an exaggeration I have actually cared for a patient on 16+ drips) you have to have so many pumps they absolutely clutter up the bedside space. Not to mention if you have to transport your patient. You’ll need at least 2-3 other hands to help you push your IV poles down the hall. I can appreciate the safety of these pumps, but overall I feel it is a huge step back in IV therapy for bedside nursing.

Omg! Thanks so much. I am a new nurse and was so confused! I think I understand much better now.

The place im working at uses this pump. Whenever we has something as secondary, we always check if it’s compatible to the 1st line

Thank you. After listening to my wife’s go off for 2 hrs waiting on a nurse to come in this helped me turn off her iron and start back the other stuff ;-)

[davidakinlagun]

Hi, love your video. Was wondering though if this pump language can be changed to Italian. Thank you

[annholzer]

Excellent video for this New Grad. I wish you also mentioned how to put it in standby mode. That still confuses me.

How do you pause these pumps if patient needs to use bathroom?

[ChurroWaffles]

So if what if you have the patient on multiple iv drugs? Like a Septic patient on numerous pressors? Do you have to have one unit for each medication?
