Resume/Repeat Rx/New Program MenuThere are three different ways that you can start a therapy:• RESUME: Should be used if a therapy is interrupted. The pump picks up where itleft off, and continues the therapy.• REPEAT Rx: Should be used to hang a new bag and repeat the same therapy overagain. The infusion history displayed is reset (volume infused, boluses requested,boluses received, etc). Shift Totals and Hourly Totals continue to accrue.• NEW PROGRAM: Should be used to program a totally new Rx. All the therapyparameters in the pump are set to factory default and must be re-entered by theclinician.The judicious choice of the option can help speed up programming. This screen gives you allthree options:Resuming a therapy1 RESUME—If a therapy is interrupted and the pump is turned off or paused beforecompletion of the infusion, you may select “RESUME” by moving the cursor to this fieldand pressing the “YES/ENTER” key.
