Patient Therapy Controller
PTC® Orientation
The signal used to program the Programmable Pump
can travel up to 2 inches
(5 cm)
. If the Patient Therapy Controller is not positioned close enough to the pump or is not oriented correctly over the pump, the Patient Therapy
Controller will not be able to communicate with the pump.
When prompted to place the Patient Therapy Controller over the Programmable Pump, follow these steps:
1.
Horizontally position the Patient Therapy Controller up to 2 inches (5cm) above the pump. The top of the Patient Therapy Controller should be
parallel to the top of the pump as shown in the figure below.
Position of the Patient Therapy Controller over the Programmable Pump
2.
Slowly move the Patient Therapy Controller toward the pump. As it tries to locate the pump, the programmer sounds a series of rapid clicks.
Once it locates the pump, the Patient Therapy Controller sounds a steady tone.
Note: Do not position the Patient Therapy Controller too close to the pump.
The signal requires at least 0.5 inches (1.27 cm) to initialize the connection.
