Hazard Information
Plum Solo and Duo Infusion pumps include a feature, that when selected, automatically flushes the downstream line after a piggyback therapy. The programmed flush volume is delivered from the primary line container at the piggyback therapy rate after the piggyback therapy is complete. In certain cases, as described below, the clinician may receive an Upper Hard Limit (UHL) or Lower Hard Limit (LHL) Violation message when programming a piggyback flush, which prevents the flush from being programmed.
