Dose Over Time
Dose Over Time is used to administer a specific dose of antibiotics in a specific
time. Dose Over Time is an own therapy and cannot be used in combination
with another therapy except Piggyback. It can only be activated via the Drug
List Manager. It can be used for standard infusion and/or piggyback.
The active Dose Over time function is always symbolised with a characteristical
symbol in the Display (
). If besides DOT the piggyback therapy is active, a
combined symbol for both therapies will be displayed (
).
Note:
Dose Over Time should only be performed by experienced users being
familiar with the principles of the Dose Over Time function and properly trained
in using the present device.
The infusion rate in Dose Over Time can not be changed. This parameter is a
result of the total dose and the infusion time setting. Directly, after the Drug
selection, the infusion time and the total dose intended to be infused have to be
set. If the drug library contains default values for these parameters, the default
values are used as preset values.
If changes are necessary during infusion, the delivery can be controlled by
changing the time. The pump calculates the new rate by using the remaining
