Basics of Programming

The

Curlin Medical

pump allows the operator to customize this device to meet the specific infusion needs of each

individual patient. This chapter will explain the customizing features along with the programming steps.

rogramming the Curlin Medical pump requires initial orientation and training, but the

programming steps have been designed to be user friendly and self-prompting to

minimize training time.

Several different types of screens and fields may appear on the displays. Each of the

different types of screens is explained below. Whenever you are required to interact with

the pump, a highlight bar or cursor will be present on the screen.

Types of Display Screens

1 An “action field screen” allows you to select a pump action from the menu.

Sample of an Action Field Screen

To select a field other than the one highlighted, use the arrow keys to move the cursor up or

down to the desired field. When the cursor is highlighting the correct field and you press the

“YES/ENTER” key, the pump accepts the selection and executes that action. In the

example above, the pump would proceed with steps to resume the therapy.

2 A “Selection List” field allows you to select from a predetermined list of values:

Sample of a Selection List Field

The above example allows you to select which unit to use in programming—e.g., Units: ml,

mg or mcg. Only one selection is displayed at a time. When the cursor blinks it is indicating

that no selection has yet been accepted. The selection displayed on the screen changes each

time you press the “NO/CHANGE” key. Pressing the “YES/ENTER” key accepts the

selection displayed and moves the cursor to the next field.
