rogramming the Curlin Infusion pump requires initial orientation and training, but the
programming steps have been designed to be user friendly and self-prompting to
minimize training time.
Several different types of screens and fields may appear on the displays. Each of the
different types of screens is explained below. Whenever you are required to interact with
the pump, a highlight bar or cursor will be present on the screen.
Types of Display Screens
1 An “action field screen” allows you to select a pump action from the menu.

In this sample, the
highlight bar is resting on
the “RESUME” field.
To select a field other than the one highlighted, use the arrow keys to move the cursor up or
down to the desired field. When the cursor is highlighting the correct field and you press the
“YES/ENTER” key, the pump accepts the selection and executes that action. In the
example above, the pump would proceed with steps to resume the therapy.
2 A “Selection List” field allows you to select from a predetermined list of values:

Basics Programming
The above example allows you to select which unit to use in programming—e.g., Units: ml,
mg or mcg. Only one selection is displayed at a time. When the cursor blinks it is indicating
that no selection has yet been accepted. The selection displayed on the screen changes each
time you press the “NO/CHANGE” key. Pressing the “YES/ENTER” key accepts the
selection displayed and moves the cursor to the next field.
