Figure 1-3

 

Basal flow rate and bolus (PCA mode) infusion pattern

For Figure 1-3, the settings are a basal flow rate of 10 ml/hr, a bolus volume of 10 ml, and a 

lockout time of 30 minutes

NOTE: 

 The basal flow rate is discontinued while a bolus is being delivered and resumes 

once the bolus has been completed.

Figure 1-4

 

Dose only (PIb mode) infusion pattern

The settings for Figure 1-4 are a dose volume of 25 ml and a dose interval of 90 minutes.

 

 

NOTE: 

 An optional dose can be delivered at the start of an infusion by pushing the 

BOLUS button within 60 seconds of the start of an infusion.
