Reviewing or Changing the Program
To review or make any changes in the prescription programming, press the “NO/CHANGE”
key at the Run Options screen, and the prescription screens will reappear (Changes may be
inhibited by lock setting.) Changes to the prescription can be made before the start of the
therapy; however, once a therapy has started, no changes can be made to the Pre-Prescription
Screen. It will appear only for review purposes. Attempts to change the Pre-Prescription Menu
during a new program review will cause an alert screen to be displayed, notifying the programmer
that changes will require reprogramming of the prescription.
Starting the Infusion
RUN: When all parameters are correct and the pump has been primed properly and connected
to the access site, press “RUN” on the Run Options screen to start the therapy. If a delayed start
is programmed, the “Delay Start Count Down Screen” will appear. If no delay start is
programmed or the delay has elapsed, the pump will begin infusing and the following screen
displays the status of the therapy:
Intermittent Run Screen
This screen continues to display as long as the infusion is in progress. Notice the information
given in each field.
1 The first field displays the “RATE” of the infusion in whichever units/hour has been
selected. The dose number in progress of the total number of doses programmed toggles
with the infusion rate.
2 The second field is a graphic representation of the delivered amount of the dose in progress
or that of the KVO cycle in progress. In CMS-enabled pumps, the graphic bar will
toggle with Line Pressure (“L Press”) which displays the current patient side
(downstream) pressure in the administration set in millimeter of mercury (mmHg)
units.
3 The third field toggles to give Total Volume Infused, Dose Infused, and, if units are mg or
mcg, the Total Amount Infused also.
4 The fourth field gives the remaining time for the entire infusion (all doses in this IV bag), the
remaining amount (in mg or mcg), the remaining volume, and the time the next dose is due.
5 In addition to the display screen accumulating information regarding the status of the
infusion, the green LED light blinks whenever the pump is infusing.
The information on the run screen will alternate between a four-line display and a large-font
display of each individual line of information on the screen.
