A system for determining whether the pressure in a fluid line upstream of an infusion pump is becoming lower as pumping draws fluid from the fluid line and fluid container due to a lack of proper venting. An initial pressure is sensed by an upstream pressure sensor at the start of an infusion. After a period of time, which may be determined either by monitoring infusion time or the number of pump cycles completed, a second pressure is sampled and compared to the initial pressure. Various analytical methods may be applied to the sensed pressures to determine upstream pressures or trends. Where an upstream pressure reading indicates a lack of proper venting, an alert signal is provided. Continuous monitoring may occur in which succeeding samples are compared to preceding samples to determine upstream pressures or trends.

Système permettant de déterminer si la pression dans un tubage de fluide en amont d'une pompe à perfusion diminue lorsque le pompage soutire le fluide du tubage et d'un récipient à fluide en raison d'une ventilation insuffisante. Au début d'une perfusion, une pression initiale est détectée par un détecteur de pression amont. Après un certain intervalle, qui peut être déterminé soit par surveillance de la durée de perfusion ou du nombre de cycles de pompage complétés, une deuxième pression est échantillonnée et comparée à la pression initiale. Diverses méthodes d'analyse peuvent être appliquées aux pressions détectées pour déterminer des pressions ou des tendances amont. Lorsqu'un relevé de la pression amont indique qu'il y a une ventilation insuffisante, un signal d'alarme est généré. Il est possible d'appliquer une surveillance continue au cours de laquelle des échantillons sont comparés à des échantillons précédents pour déterminer des pressions ou tendances amont.
