PCA Dose Enables a patient to self-administer a bolus infusion to be
delivered at programmed lockout intervals through Dose Request
Cord. When programmed in
PCA
+continuous mode, continuous
infusion resumes following
PCA
dose.
PCA Pause Protocol An optional and hospital-configurable feature intended to align
with hospital/health system’s current protocol for patient
monitoring during
PCA

Pressure Limit Downstream occlusion alarm threshold can be set to low, medium
or high. Syringe variability may impact occlusion pressure
sensing. Variability may reduce device’s time to alarm and/or may
require that a higher alarm pressure limit be programmed.
Priming Allows a limited volume of fluid to be delivered in order to prime
administration set prior to being connected to a patient or after
changing a syringe. When priming, a single continuous press of
PRIME
soft key delivers up to
2
mL of priming/fluid.
Restore To simplify programming, can be used to recall previous
PCA
programming parameters for same patient. This option is only
available if patient is not new and system is powered up within
8
hours of last usage.
