Intermittent Bolus

Each intermittent bolus is the infusion of a speciﬁc volume of drug at the programmed max delivery rate

value. Programming the intermittent bolus is limited by the values of the max delivery rate, bolus interval,

and continuous rate. Intermittent boluses are delivered at regular time intervals based on the programmed

Bolus Interval, and as allowed by intermittent bolus limits, bolus interval limits, and bolus type. For more

information, contact your PharmGuard® system administrator.

This value can be edited while the pump is running or stopped (if the keypad is unlocked).

Note: Stopping the pump while an Intermittent Bolus is in progress will cancel the remainder of the

Intermittent Bolus dose.

To edit the intermittent bolus:

1. From the Home screen, press U or D to choose Intermittent Bolus and

press S.

2. Unlock the keypad using the security code or the pump key.

3. Press U or D until you reach the desired intermittent bolus quantity

and select Save.

Bolus Interval

The bolus interval is the amount of time that elapses from the beginning of one intermittent bolus to the

beginning of the next one. The bolus interval cannot be programmed to a value that would prevent an

intermittent bolus from being fully delivered within the bolus interval time period. Programming the bolus

interval is limited by values of the max delivery rate, continuous rate, and intermittent bolus. For more

information, contact your PharmGuard® system administrator.

This value can be edited while the pump is running or stopped (if the keypad is unlocked).

To edit the bolus interval:

1. From the Home screen, press U or D to choose Bolus Interval and press

2. Unlock the keypad using the security code or the pump key.

3. Press U or D until you reach the desired bolus interval and select Save.
