1. Introduction
Volumat MC Agilia is the volumetric pump of the Agilia range, incorporating advanced features such as Dose
rate, Ramp mode, Sequential mode, etc. It is intuitive and easy to learn, like all devices of the Agilia range.
Thanks to its various programming modes, infusion modes, customisation capabilities and its extensive set
range, Volumat MC Agilia can be used in any unit of the hospital: general wards, paediatr
ics
, intensive care,
oncology, etc.
Programming modes
Volumat MC Agilia can be programmed in three different modes.
Note
: In Drug labelling and Vigilant
®
Drug'Lib modes, you can select "Drug X (ml/h)" or "Drug X (dose)" to
define all the parameters of an undefined drug (either in the drug list, or in the drug library) without changing
the programming mode.
Infusion modes
When flow rate mode in ml/h or dose rate mode are selected, the following infusion modes are authorised.
Mode
Description
No drug name
All infusion parameters must be defined. The drug name is not selected.
It works with different infusion modes (see next table).
Drug labelling
The drug name is selected from a predefined drug list during infusion
programming and displayed on the screen during infusion.
Vigilant
®
Drug’Lib
Drug parameters are defined in a drug library: drug name, default flow rate
units and values, authorised infusion modes, authorised boluses and bolus
parameters, maximum flow rate and soft limit values, etc.
The drug library can be customised by the user with the Vigilant
®
Drug’Lib
software and downloaded to the device.

Infusion defined by a volume and a flow rate. In that case,
the time is calculated automatically.

Time/Rate
Infusion defined by a time and a flow rate. In that case, the
volume is calculated automatically.
X
X
Simple rate
Infusion defined by a flow rate. This mode is only available
with the optional drop sensor fixed to the drip chamber and
connected to the pump.
X
Ramp
Infusion defined by a total volume, a total infusion time, a
ramp up and ramp down time and a plateau flow rate. This
mode allows the flow rate to be increased gradually by
intermediate stages in order to reach the plateau flow rate.
X
Sequential
Infusion by sequences defined by volume to be infused
and the infusion flow rate for each sequence.
X
Secondary
Infusion which deliver
s
the content of a secondary bag /
bottle, by means of a secondary line connected to the
main line called primary line.
