time period using the numeric keys, and when correct, press the “YES/ENTER” key to
accept and move the cursor to the next field. Since this field is optional, “0” may be entered
and accepted. The range for this field is 0:00 to 9:00 HH:MM.
6 TotTime (Total Time): This field displays the entire time period over which the infusion will
be delivered, including up and down ramp times. When the pump is given the Volume To
Be Infused, the RATE at which to infuse, and the up and down ramp times, it will
automatically calculate the Total Time and display it here. Or you may choose to program the
Total Volume To Be Infused, Total Time and ramp times and let the pump calculate the level
rate of infusion. If so, the cursor will go back to the “Inf RATE” field, display the rate, and
require the operator to accept it by pressing the “YES/ENTER” key. If the time is not
acceptable, enter the new TIME with the numeric keys. When the TIME field is satisfactory,
press the “YES/ENTER” key and move to the final field. The range for this field is 0:01 to
288:00 HH:MM.
Note: The time calculated by the pump may be less than a minute; however, one minute is the
minimum entry and display value.
7 KVO Rate (Keep Vein Open 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, but cannot be set at a rate to exceed the
therapy operating rate. When the desired KVO rate has been entered, press the
“YES/ENTER” key to accept and move the cursor to the next field.
8 DONE?: If there are any changes to be made, use the up or down arrow keys to locate the
field to be changed, enter the corrected information, and press “YES/ENTER” to accept the
new data. If all the fields are acceptable, at the “DONE?” prompt, press “YES/ENTER” to
move to the next screen.
Before the infusion is started, it is important to consider a few
remaining issues, such as checking the administration set to be sure
it was primed or purged of all air, or perhaps the pump may need to
be put into a security lock setting for additional safety.
The next screen that appears when the programming is complete offers four choices:
