Pump User Interface
The pump has two buttons: the RUN/PAUSE button
and the BOLUS button. The RUN/PAUSE button is
located just below the pump display. The BOLUS button
is located just below the RUN/PAUSE button. See figure
to the left.
An ON/OFF switch is part of the battery cap. See figure
to the left.
The pump program is determined by selecting the
desired parameters during the program mode. Pressing
and holding the pump’s RUN/PAUSE button and
BOLUS button simultaneously for two seconds allows
the user to access the program mode. This specific
combination of pressing buttons is designed to prevent
inadvertent or unauthorized program adjustments.
The RUN/PAUSE button is used to start, resume or
pause the infusion. The RUN/PAUSE button toggles
between run mode and pause mode. The RUN/PAUSE button will also silence any alarm that
occurs while the pump is running. A blinking green run light (inside the BOLUS button) and
“ml” (volume infused) in the pump display indicates that the pump is infusing. The table in
Section 7 of this manual completely describes each alarm and signal. If the infusion is paused, a
flashing pause icon
( II )
appears in the pump display and two beeps sound every four minutes,
indicating that the pump infusion has been temporarily stopped.
When the BOLUS button is pressed during run mode, the pump will deliver the programmed
bolus. During bolus delivery, the green run light (inside the BOLUS button) will double blink.
