Subject: Ambulatory pump - Cadd Prizm

Re: the comments on which ambulatory pump people like, we have used the
Prizm for about 6 years & found it reliable and easy to use.  I would
like to ask other users, however, if they have experienced any recent
difficulties during TPN infusions.  We had absolutely no problems for
years, then all of a sudden, we've had a flurry of issues with upstream
occlusion alarms (when there IS no upstream occlusion).  This seems to
have happened since they changed the hi-volume tubing to the integral
anti-siphon valve.  Pump works fine when TPN is running on a 9 volt
battery, but problems occur when we're using the AC adapter &/or power
pack.  We're working with Smiths to try to resolve.
