■ Weight based:
To calculate rate from an entered volume to be infused and entered
time of infusion, the following formula is applied:
External Interfaces IrDA (SIR Encoding Protocol)
Flow Rate 0.5 to 999 mL/hr with 0.1 mL/hr increments from 0.5 to 99.9 mL/hr
and 1.0 mL/hr increments from 100 to 999 mL/hr
Infusion Delivery Modes Continuous (Primary and Secondary), Multi-Step, Cyclic TPN, and
Amount/Time (Primary and Secondary)
KVO At the completion of a primary infusion, the Pump will infuse at the
KVO rate configured per drug in the Drug Library or the current
infusion rate, whichever is lower. The default KVO rate is set at
1 mL/hr but may be configured to between 0.5 and 50 mL/hr.
At the completion of a secondary infusion program, the Pump will
run at a fixed KVO rate of 1 mL/hr.
