INFORMATION
During the delay start period, if the KVO rate is set to 0, no fluid is
infusing. Be sure the patient’s access device is patent and has been
flushed per facility policy to maintain patency during this time period.
If a KVO rate is programmed, then that KVO rate will be used in the
Delay Start period.
