At the following screen, the prescription information is entered to complete the programming of

the pump:

TPN Prescription Screen

Note that the screen identifier gives the abbreviation “TPN” for Total Parenteral Nutrition and

has a down arrow configuration, which indicates that there are more than four fields of text or

information to be considered.

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 VOL TBI (Volume To Be Infused): Use the numeric keys to enter the actual volume of

infusion to be delivered, excluding any KVO amounts. When the amount is correctly entered,

use the “YES/ENTER” key to accept this field and to move to the next. (If VOL TBI

entered is greater than Bag Volume, the pump will beep once. An alert message of “AMT

TBI GREATER THAN BAG VOL” will appear to remind you to recheck and change the

number before the “YES/ENTER” key will accept the value and move to the next field.)

The range for this field is 0.1 to 9999.

3 Inf RATE (Infusion Rate or rate of the level infusion): The Curlin Medical pump can

deliver from 0.1 ml to 400 ml per hour. Use the numeric keys to enter the prescribed rate.

When this field is correct, use the “YES/ENTER” key to accept the rate and move to the

next field. You may choose to let the pump calculate the rate by skipping this field and

entering the up ramp time, down ramp, and total time.

4 UP Ramp: This optional feature allows the beginning of the infusion to be gradually tapered

up to the level infusion rate over a specified period of time. Enter the up ramp time period

using the numeric keys, and when correct, press the “YES/ENTER” key to accept this field

and move to the next. Since this field is optional, “0” may be entered and accepted. The

range for this field is 0:00 to 9:00 HH:MM.

5 DN Ramp (Down Ramp): This optional feature allows the infusion to be gradually tapered

down over a specified period of time at the end of the level infusion. Enter the down ramp
