During the delay start period, if the KVO rate is set to 0, no fluid is
infusing. Be sure the access device is patent and has been flushed per
facility policy to maintain patency during this time period. If a KVO
rate is programmed, then that KVO rate will be used in the Delay Start
period.
4 NEXT?: If there are any changes to be made, use the up or down arrow keys to locate the
field to be changed, use the numeric keys to enter the corrected information, and press
“YES/ENTER” to accept the new data. If all the fields are acceptable, move the cursor to
the “NEXT?” field and press the “YES/ENTER” key to move on to the next screen.
At the following screens, the prescription information is entered to complete the programming of
the therapy.
Variable Therapies are programmed in individual dose screens, from one up to twenty-four.
Before information about each individual dose is entered, the bag volume and number of total
doses per bag are entered on the initial programming screen. Once the total number of doses is
entered and accepted, the pump will subsequently display a screen for each dose to program the
specific dose amount, rate, and time:

1 BAG Vol (IV Bag Volume): Use the numeric keys to enter the amount of fluid in the IV Bag
or Medication Reservoir (include the overfill volume).
Note: The volume used for priming via the pump or for KVO is deducted from the Bag
Volume. Therefore, Bag Volume should be equal to or greater than the Amount To Be
Infused to start the infusion.
When the correct amount has been entered, press the “YES/ENTER” key to accept this
field and move on to the next. The range for this field is 1 to 9999.
2 # Doses: The Variable Therapy can be programmed to deliver from one to twenty-four
individual programs or “doses”. Enter the total number of doses to be delivered from the
previously entered bag volume. This number dictates the number of dose programming
screens that will subsequently display. When the correct number of doses has been entered,
press the “YES/ENTER” key to accept this field and move on to the next.
3 KVO RATE: This field requires data entry using the numeric keys to set the rate at which
fluid will be delivered in a “Keep Open” state. The pump defaults to a rate of 0.1 ml/hour,
can be set from 0 to 10 ml/hour. All dose rates (ml/hr) must be greater than the KVO rate.
When the desired KVO rate has been entered, press the “YES/ENTER” key to accept and
move the cursor to the next field.
4 NEXT?: If there are any changes to be made, use the up or down arrow keys to locate the
field to be changed, use the numeric keys to enter the corrected information, and press
