Setup &
Programming
Concentration
If Units are mg or mcg, enter the concentration of drug in mg/ml or mcg/ml.
When you enter a new Concentration, the pump requires you to enter a new
Continuous Rate and Demand Dose.
Continuous Rate
Enter the continuous rate of medication delivery (in mg/hr, ml/hr, or mcg/hr,
depending on the Units). The maximum rate is 30 ml/hr or the mg or mcg
equivalent. If the prescription does not call for a Continuous Rate, enter zero.
NOTE: If you intend to run the pump in Lock Level 1 so the Continuous Rate
can be varied, you should enter the maximum allowable rate while programming
in Lock Level 0. After programming, you may then change to Lock Level
1 and decrease the rate to its starting value. See Programming with Upper
Limits, Adjusting Doses in LL1 at the end of this section
Demand Dose
Enter the amount of drug to be delivered when the patient presses the Í key
(or the Remote Dose Cord button, if attached). If the prescription does not call
for a Demand Dose, enter zero.
NOTE: If you intend to run the pump in Lock Level 1 so the Demand Dose
can be varied, you should enter the maximum allowable dose while programming
in Lock Level 0. After programming, you may then change to Lock Level
1 and decrease the dose to its starting value. See Programming with Upper
Limits, Adjusting Doses in LL1 at the end of this section.
Demand Dose Lockout
If you programmed a Demand Dose, enter the minimum amount of time that
must elapse between the time one Demand Dose starts and the time the next
Demand Dose starts. This lockout period is unaffected by removal of the
battery or stopping of the pump.
