4.4.3 Hard Limits and Soft Limits
A drug list is a list of drugs that does not include limits on drug infusion
rates.
A drug can be pre-configured with Agilia Vigilant Drug’Lib software
according to one of the following rates:

Flow rate : Infusion of a volume over a period of time

Dose : Infusion of a specific amount of a drug corresponding to a
dose rate
Drug X (mL/h) is an open entry that can be selected if the intended drug
is not found in the drug library. It has the following characteristics:

Fewer limits than the other drugs in the library.

A full compliment of the Agilia Vigilant Drug’Lib software’s
safeguards are unavailable.
It is strongly recommended to use Drug X (mL/h) in a limited number of
clinical cases and under close patient monitoring by the clinical staff.
For each custom profile, the healthcare facility can enable or disable
Drug X (mL/h) using the Agilia Vigilant Drug’Lib software.
Programming limits can be set for each drug with Agilia Vigilant Drug’Lib
software. Two types of limits can be set:

Hard limits : limits that cannot be overridden when programming
an infusion.

Soft limits : limits that can be overridden within an authorized
range when programming an infusion. An additional confirmation
will be required.
