Security Settings
Security settings are used to limit patient and unauthorized clinician access to certain programming and
operating functions of the pump. Pump functions are protected by three different security codes, and may
also be protected by the cassette/keypad lock. The security level table below lists the functions that are
available under each security code. The factory default settings for the security codes are as follows:
• Keypad Code: 201
• Clinician Code: 997
• Administrator (Admin) Code: See your PharmGuard® system administrator.
WARNING
• Do not disclose pump security codes or any other information that would allow the patient or
unauthorized clinician complete access to programming and operating functions. Improper programming
could result in serious patient injury or death.
• Do not leave the pump unattended while unlocked. Many programming functions are accessible while the
pump is unlocked, and improper programming could result in serious patient injury or death.
The keypad, clinician, and administrator codes can all be customized by the PharmGuard® system
administrator while setting up the protocol using the PharmGuard® Medication Safety Software, or in the
administrator settings. The PharmGuard® system administrator also determines whether or not to allow use
of the cassette/keypad lock to unlock the keypad. See your PharmGuard® system administrator for more
information or to learn the security code you should use if the codes have been customized.
Security Level Tables
• The keypad code is for clinicians who need to set up and manage a protocol for a patient.
• The clinician code allows access to all the functions the keypad code allows, as well as the clinician bolus
feature.
• The administrator code allows access to all functions of the pump and its use should be restricted to the
PharmGuard® system administrator and certain designees. The administrator code gives the user the
ability to change protocol ranges and all settings in the pump.
