Timing Rules when Interrupting Intermittent Therapies
Remember, this therapy is time dependent, and the following rules
apply for interruptions in the therapy.
For the Intermittent Therapy the pump automatically cycles through dosing and KVO. A single
beep alerts the user to the change in the cycle. If the KVO rate is set at “0” the pump can be off
between those doses.
When the pump is idle or OFF, the internal time clock of the pump continues to monitor the
dosing cycle and the following time considerations apply:
1 When the infusion is resumed thirty minutes or less past the scheduled “Next Dose Time,”
the dose is ready for immediate delivery and no changes will be made in the original
scheduling except to shorten the next “KVO” time between doses to comply with the dosing
cycle.
2 When the infusion is resumed more than thirty minutes past the scheduled “Next Dose
Time,” the next dose will be ready for delivery when the pump is turned on. All subsequent
dosing will be shifted to keep the dosing cycle consistent unless the “NXT DOSE” Option is
used to change subsequent dose times.
3 If a dose in progress is interrupted for thirty minutes or less and the infusion is resumed, the
dose in progress will resume, and the only adjustment made will be to shorten the next KVO
time between doses. If a dose in progress is interrupted for more than thirty minutes and the
infusion is resumed, the dose in progress will be terminated. If necessary, use the “NXT
DOSE” Option to reset the next dose delivery time.
4 If the KVO cycle is interrupted before reaching the time for next dose, no changes occur in
dosing time cycles.
If it is necessary to change the batteries during the delivery of an
intermittent dose, be sure to press the “PAUSE” key and then turn the
pump off before
removing the batteries. If the pump is delivering a
dose and the batteries are removed without first pausing the pump,
the dose in progress will be aborted.

When the infusion is complete (all doses of this IV bag are administered and the last KVO cycle is
complete), the following screen displays:
