Cyclic TPN
Cyclic TPN delivers TPN (Total Parenteral Nutrition) over a prescribed period of time in an
automatic ramp-up infusion rate to a main rate before tapering down. This process increases the
delivery rate at the start of an infusion and decreases the delivery rate at the end of the infusion.
The Pump calculates the ramp-up and taper-down rates once the duration and total volume of the
infusion are entered. The infusion schedule is calculated containing the rates and volumes for:
■
10 ramp-up steps consisting of 10% of the total infusion time.
■
The main delivery rate accounts for 80% of the infusion time.
■
10 taper-down steps for the remaining 10% of the total infusion time.
Cyclic TPN is only available for Continuous Infusions.
To program Cyclic TPN:
1. Press
ON/OFF
to power on the Pump.
2. Press the arrow soft keys to select the Care Area and press
OK
.
3. Type “TP” and select TPN from the Drug Library.
4. Select
Cyclic TPN
and press
OK
