Curlin Medical · Model 4000 CMS
The Curlin 4000 CMS, is a multi-therapy ambulatory electronic infusion device capable of delivering continuous PCA, PCEA, subcutaneous, TPN, intermittent and variable modes. This unique, technologically advanced and innovative system continuously monitors and displays line pressure to help you detect potential catheter patency problems, such as occlusions, obstructions and pinched off catheters. The Curlin 4000 CMS™ is communication-capable (connects with PCs or PDAs); sophisticated (high resolution, user audit trail, accuracy, detailed information recording); and feature-rich (shift-totals, on-screen hourly totals, highly visible large fonts, quick-repeat and continuous back-light-on with AC power). In addition, it incorporates the unique line pressure display and productivity features of the CMS™ Software program. The 4000 CMS™ has been specifically designed to resolve the ongoing conflict between quality vs. high costs, enhancing patient safety while lowering infusion expenses. Its simplicity of operation, highlighted by menu-driven protocols with context sensitive help screens, makes the Curlin 4000 CMS™ extremely simple to use. The 4000 CMS™ has received the "CE" mark as well as many other certificates marking it for sale in the European community. The 4000 CMS™ has the ability to deliver at low rates, a flow resolution that is up to 25 times better than any other ambulatory pump on the market. The 4000 CMS™ works synergistically with a PC and/or Palm™ PDA improving the outcome, and reducing the risk of programming errors. All these features, along with its extensive information database makes the 4000 CMS™ an essential medical equipment element, capable of offering significantly improved operating performance and safety, at a substantially reduced cost. Curlin pumps give you a choice of different non-DEHP set configurations, including needleless injection sites, 0.22 and 1.2 micron filtered sets, yellow-striped epidural sets, sets with 150 ml integral fluid containers, and syringe delivery sets. All Curlin sets incorporate an active, integral-flow-stop.
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
Symptoms: The pump alarms and displays an error message / code and stops.
Root cause: A subsystem fault indexed in the service manual - motor / drive, a sensor, set-detection, or a board.
Symptoms: Repeated occlusion alarms, delivery stops, or an occlusion is missed.
Root cause: Kinked or clamped line, a closed roller clamp, a positional patient tube, pressure-sensor drift, or an improperly loaded set.
Symptoms: Frequent air-in-line alarms, delivery stops.
Root cause: Air in the set, an improperly loaded set, or an ultrasonic air-detector fault.
Symptoms: Delivered volume outside tolerance on the annual test, especially at low rates.
Root cause: Worn pumping mechanism / plunger drive.
Symptoms: Short run time, low-battery early after a full charge.
Root cause: Aged battery pack.
Symptoms: Set will not load, door will not latch, plunger grip poor.
Root cause: Worn door latch, plunger jaws, or anti-free-flow mechanism.
