A
The approved Data Set contains configurable option values per profile.
The originator and approvers of the Data Set should be aware that, unless a rationale for safety is provided, it is
not recommended to set the callback time to a value greater than the default setting of 2 minutes since doing so
would not be in compliance with IEC/EN60601-2-24:1998 standard.
1
The bolus configurations are used only when the Alaris® PK Syringe Pump is being used in ml/h mode. If a drug is selected then the drugs
own configuration settings are used.

Although a default and Soft Limits can be set for age and weight, the actual selectable range may be limited by the drug and model
chosen.
