Feature
Description
Resistance
Pressure Setting
Provides an “Occlusion Downstream” alarm when measured pressure reaches Resistance Pressure limit while
operating in Resistance Mode. This threshold may be set from 1 to 600 mmHg in 1 mmHg increments. In other
words, while operating in Resistance mode or High Resistance mode, an “Occlusion Downstream” condition can
be detected in 2 ways; measured resistance reaches 100% of scale or configured Resistance Pressure Setting is
exceeded.
KVO Rate
KVO (keep vein open) mode automatically occurs when primary VTBI has counted down to 0.0 ml. Channel
switches to preset KVO rate or remains at current rate, whichever is less. KVO rate may be set to a value between 0.1
and 20 ml/h in 0.1 ml/h increments. KVO rate is not adjustable by the clinician.
Bolus
Allows clinician to deliver a bolus when enabled.
Dose Rate
Calculator
Allows clinician to enter either flow rate or drug dose rate for a continuous infusion. System then calculates
alternate parameter based on drug concentration and weight if used. For an intermittent infusion, system calculates
total dose based on drug amount and patient weight (kg) or BSA (m2) if used. Next, clinician enters either volume
and time to calculate rate, or rate and volume to calculate time.
Dose rate calculator must be enabled in order to access Bolus Dose feature and Drug Library.
Loading Dose
Allows clinician to set up an initial infusion rate for a specific volume, to be followed automatically by a maintenance
rate (primary settings) from same container. This is useful for delivering fluid challenges. Limits do not apply when
using Loading Dose feature. To deliver a loading dose of a medication selected from Drug Library, Bolus Dose
feature may be used.
Multi-Dose
Allows 1 - 24 doses to be programmed at equally spaced intervals on same pump over a 24-hour period. This mode
allows delivery of multiple, equal doses from same IV container at regularly scheduled intervals. Limits do not apply
when using Multi-Dose feature. Within this mode, a delayed start option allows pump to be programmed to delay
infusion start for up to 8 hours.
Multi-Dose Alert
When enabled, this feature alerts clinician of completion of each dose delivered during a Multi-Dose program.
Multi-Step
Allows a sequential drug delivery program (up to 9 steps) to be set delivering volumes of fluid at different rates at
each step. This allows pump parameters to be set up once and deliver a step profile, eliminating need to change
rate and VTBI after each step of infusion. Infusion may be programmed in rate/volume or volume/time. Limits do
not apply when using Multi-Step feature.
Panel Lock
When enabled, this feature allows the Panel Lock keypad to be used to lock the main keypad.
Rate Maximum
Maximum infusion rate may be set to a value from 0.1 to 999.9 ml/h in 0.1 ml/h increments.
Dose Checking
Mode*
Dose Checking (limit checking) has 2 selectable options:
Always checking option causes a Guardrails® alert to occur each time a dose limit is exceeded. If limit is overridden,
drug label displays an indicator (
↑↑↑
or
↓↓↓
arrows) that infusion is beyond current Soft Limit.
Smart option causes an initial Guardrails® alert to occur when a dose limit is exceeded. Subsequent programming
beyond dose limit does not cause an alert to display. If limit is overridden, drug label displays an indicator (
↑↑↑
or
↓↓↓
arrows) that infusion is beyond current Soft Limit
Weight,
Maximum*
Sets maximum patient weight (kg) for each profile. May be set to a value from 0 to 4534 kg in 1 kg increments.
*These features are configured only within a hospital-defined data set.
