It only screams “OCCLUSION” at 3:41 a.m — when both hands are full of meds and the patient is finally dozing. Every night I flush, unkink, lower the bag, do the little tubing tango, and it shuts up the instant I touch it — anyone else feel gaslit by plastic?
I set the pump’s “occlusion alarm delay” to medium and kept the pump a few inches below the IV site; it cut the 3 a.m. false alarms a lot. If policy won’t let you tweak that, try a shorter standard-bore extension to lower back-pressure. Curious if @IVTeam has seen the same — mine only misbehaves when you make eye contact.
Swear half my 3:41 a.m. ‘OCCLUSION’ screams are elbows flexing; a tiny J-loop plus a second anchor right below the hub stopped the ghost alarms for me. I add a microbore extension and tape the slack so the pump isn’t feeling every twitch, and it quits doing the “touch it and it shuts up” routine. Is your site in the AC?
