3. IV set distortion
due to long time use
in the same tube
segment
1) After the IV set has been used over 5-6 hours, we suggest reposition
the IV tubing down or up 20cm for the linear pump cassette act on a
new tube position
2) We suggest the replacement of the IV set when it has been used for
20 hours or more
Table 3.4
Adjustment value of different surface tension liquid (only for reference)
