Timing Rules when Interrupting Intermittent TherapiesIMPORTANTINFORMATIONRemember, this therapy is time dependent, and the following rulesapply for interruptions in the therapy.For the Intermittent Therapy the pump automatically cycles through dosing and KVO. A singlebeep alerts the user to the change in the cycle. If the KVO rate is set at “0” the pump can be offbetween those doses.When the pump is idle or OFF, the internal time clock of the pump continues to monitor thedosing cycle and the following time considerations apply:1 When the infusion is resumed thirty minutes or less past the scheduled “Next Dose Time,”the dose is ready for immediate delivery and no changes will be made in the originalscheduling except to shorten the next “KVO” time between doses to comply with the dosingcycle.2 When the infusion is resumed more than thirty minutes past the scheduled “Next DoseTime,” the next dose will be ready for delivery when the pump is turned on. All subsequentdosing will be shifted to keep the dosing cycle consistent unless the “NXT DOSE” Option isused to change subsequent dose times.3 If a dose in progress is interrupted for thirty minutes or less and the infusion is resumed, thedose in progress will resume, and the only adjustment made will be to shorten the next KVOtime between doses. If a dose in progress is interrupted for more than thirty minutes and theinfusion is resumed, the dose in progress will be terminated. If necessary, use the “NXTDOSE” Option to reset the next dose delivery time.4 If the KVO cycle is interrupted before reaching the time for next dose, no changes occur indosing time cycles.IMPORTANTINFORMATIONIf it is necessary to change the batteries during the delivery of anintermittent dose, be sure to press the “PAUSE” key and then turn thepump off before removing the batteries. If the pump is delivering adose and the batteries are removed without first pausing the pump,the dose in progress will be aborted.Infusion CompleteWhen the infusion is complete (all doses of this IV bag are administered and the last KVO cycle iscomplete), the following screen displays:Intermittent Infusion Complete100
