Take a guided tour of the CURLIN 8000 pump, keypad, and LCD screen, and learn how to insert administration sets and prepare the pump for use.
Building on the established CURLIN infusion platform, the CURLIN 8000 is a new multi-therapy infusion system designed to meet the unique needs of home infusion and to provide a better experience for patients.
Connect the pump to an external AC power source using the CURLIN 8000 adapter.
Connect the remote bolus cord for dosing when using PCA therapy.
Three infusion status indicator lights located to the right of the screen provide visual confirmation of the current infusion status.
Refer to the CURLIN 8000 Instructions for Use for detailed information on the meaning of the different status indicator lights.
Slide the locking mechanism to the right to unlock the battery door. Slide left to lock.
Use either two "C" cell batteries or a rechargeable lithium ion battery to power the pump.
Use the latch to open the pump door and insert administration sets.
Opening the door fully shows the pumping mechanism and administration set tubing path.
The CURLIN 8000 keypad includes both pre-defined buttons and "soft keys" that change in function depending on what is displayed on the screen.
Pressing the ON / OFF button powers the pump on or off.
The three soft keys located at the bottom of the screen correspond to the labels on the screen located directly above each key. The function of these three buttons change depending on what is currently shown on the screen.
The up and down buttons are used to scroll through the information shown on the screen.
Pressing the OK button accepts the data highlighted on the screen or entered on the keypad.
Pressing the PAUSE button temporarily stops the current infusion.
Pressing the HELP button opens additional contextual help information on the display screen.
For patient use only. When delivering a PCA therapy, pressing the BOLUS button delivers a patient bolus. This button is inactive if a PCA bolus handset is connected to the pump.
The number and decimal buttons are used to enter numerical values to program the pump. Pressing the CLEAR button deletes or clears values entered in the fields one digit at a time.
The large, full color, 3.5” LCD screen has a wide viewing angle that provides easy viewing of programming or therapy information.
Colors are used to quickly indicate status and alarm information on the screen, making it easy to see pump status from across the room.
Green = pump is running, all is good.
Yellow = pump is paused.
Red = high priority alarm, action is required
Blue = infusion has ended
Aqua - pump is priming
Orange = medium priority alarm, action is required
The home screen provides a quick overview of the infusion status. The home screen for each therapy mode is designed to provide the most relevant information for that therapy.
1) Pump status bar
2) Header / drug / therapy type
3) Activity area
4) Soft key labels
5) Infusion progress meter
Bold yellow colors indicate that pump operation has been paused.
Bright blue colors indicate that the programmed infusion has been completed.
Bright red colors are used to indicate a high priority alarm. Instructions for clearing the alarm are shown on the screen. Pressing the HELP button will provide additional troubleshooting assistance.
CURLIN administration sets feature a unique anti-free flow device that prevents over-infusion and allows intentional priming by gravity to reduce set-up time.
Pull up on the latch to open the door. Multiple hinge points allow for maximum accessibility to the tubing path area.
Insert the blue tubing guide into the right side of the pump in the direction of the blue arrow.
Insert the yellow flow-stop into the left side of the pump in the direction of the yellow arrow.
Ensure the tubing lies in the middle of the tubing track and close the pump door securely.
The administration set should now be properly seated, aligned, and ready for use.
This concludes the brief overview of the CURLIN 8000. If you have additional questions, please contact us.

When precision and accuracy matter most.
The patented curvilinear peristaltic design of CURLIN pumps deliver fluid in smaller, more accurate increments than standard linear peristaltic infusion pumps (Resolution of Flow) with more precise and steady fluid delivery throughout the entire infusion duration (Continuity of Flow).
Infusion of smaller micro-boluses is often much more therapeutically effective than infusion of larger boluses administered less often, especially when infusing drugs at very low infusion rates (0.1 – 5mL/hr). This is even more important if these drugs have short half-lives. Evenly and closely spaced fluid delivery reduces the spiking and troughing of medication blood serum levels and provides a more constant therapeutic effect.
One platform for all your infusion needs.
From delivering antibiotics to nutrition to highly specialized oncology medications, the CURLIN 8000 is able to meet nearly any home infusion delivery requirement through its unique set of features, administration set options, and related accessories.
- Multi-therapy flexibility: Easily deliver a range of therapy types including continuous, intermittent, variable, TPN, and PCA, all with a single device.
- Administration set options: A variety of administration sets are available to meet nearly any home infusion requirement. All sets are compliant with the latest industry standards.
- Range of accessories: battery provides a convenient and cost-effective power solution. A pole holster and lock box are available for stationary use, and a custom designed carrying pack is available for ambulatory use.
- Customizable security: Three security levels, autolock feature, and lock icon ensure programming capabilities are only accessible by intended users.
