Warning!
Confirm All
Settings
Before starting ANY delivery, ALWAYS confirm correctness of ALL infusion values you
just set.
When using E-Plates, preset values are automatically inserted without pausing to verify
each setting. You go directly to the B
EGIN
I
NFUSION
screen where all the infusion values
are displayed at once. Be sure to verify their correctness before starting the delivery.
Certain data fields may be programmed blank (eg. patient weight) and require data
entry before the infusion will proceed
Extra caution should be exercised when using E-Plates. It is recommended each
organization, unit, or department maintain a written logbook of the contents of every E-
Plate, and have this logbook available as a reference resource for personnel using E-
Plates in their daily operations.

available depend entirely on whatever E-Plates and standard library entries your
system operator has programmed into your pump.
