6 TitrRx (Titrate Prescription): If this feature was not selected in the Pre-Prescription Menu, it
will not appear on the Options menu. If Titration parameters were programmed previously,
this field will appear; and if you want to titrate now, select “ON” and press the
“YES/ENTER” key to go to the PCA titration menu:
PCA Titrate Screen
This screen allows you to change the basal rate and/or the bolus parameters within the
predefined prescription limits. Whenever any value is changed using the titrate option, the
new value will appear on the prescription menu when it is reviewed. If a delta time/rate
limitation was previously programmed, the rate can be increased within those parameters up
to 12 times during the delta time period. If a 13
th
attempt is made an alert will display: “MAX
CHANGES FOR PERIOD REACHED”.
a. BASL RATE: Use the numeric keys to enter the new desired rate. When the correct rate
has been entered, press the “YES/ENTER” key to accept the rate, and move to the next
field. The range for this field is 0 to 50, or the highest limit allowed for the administration
route selected (see Figure 5.1).
b. BOLUS: Use the numeric keys to enter the new bolus dose and, when correct, press
“YES/ENTER” to accept and move to the next field. The range for this field is 0 to 50,
or the highest limit allowed for the administration route selected (see Figure 5.1)
c. BOLS INT (Bolus Interval): Use the numeric keys to enter the new bolus time interval
and, when correct, press “YES/ENTER” to accept and move to next field. The range for
this field is 0 to 60.
d. #BOLS /hr (number of boluses per hour): Use the numeric keys to enter the new
number of boluses per hour and, when correct, press “YES/ENTER” to move to the
final step in the titration menu. The range for this field is 0 to 15.
e. ACCEPT? YES/NO: If necessary, use the arrow keys to move to any field and change
the data entered. To abort this screen entirely, press “NO” at this prompt. Any data

7 DN Occlu (Down Occlusion): This feature allows the pump to sense an occlusion pressure
in the line between the pump and the access site, e.g., a kink in the tubing between the pump
and the patient, a blockage in the access site, or a clamp left on the distal tubing. There are
two options for this field: the “Low” setting triggers the alarm when it detects in-line
