PCA: Starting a Demand Dose
If a Demand Dose has been programmed, the patient may start a Demand Dose
while the pump is running. The amount delivered is added to the amount
provided by the Continuous Rate. Each time the patient requests a Demand
Dose, the pump will automatically add it to the Dose Counters screen. If no
Demand Dose has been programmed, the pump will display the message “Dose
not delivered, No Dose programmed.”
If the patient attempts to deliver a Demand Dose during the lockout time,
“Dose Not Delivered, Dose Locked Out” will appear on the display and the
pump will not deliver the dose. The lockout time is determined by the Demand
Dose Lockout time or the Max Doses Per Hour, whichever limits dose frequency
more. The attempt will be added to the “Attempts” counter on the
Dose Counters screen.
NOTES:
• A Demand Dose cannot be started while another Demand Dose or a
Clinician Bolus is in progress.
• Even if the display has automatically blanked, pressing the Í
key will turn the display back on and deliver a Demand Dose (if
available).
To start a Demand Dose
1. Make sure the pump is running (in any
lock level). Start the pump if necessary.
2. Press Í (or the button on the
Remote Dose Cord, if attached). Two
beeps will sound and the pump will
begin delivering the Demand Dose.
As the Demand Dose is delivered, the
main screen will show “DOSING” in
place of “RUNNING.”
