5.0 PERFORMING A DISPENSE
Before a dispense can be performed it is assumed that the operator has correctly
installed the necessary tube, fluid reservoir and dispense receptacle.
IMPORTANT
WHEN FITTING A NEW TUBING ASSEMBLY
– Before using a
new tubing assembly it is important that the rotor is rotated several
times by hand to “bed” the tubing into the rotor and rotor casting.
5.1
Manual dispense
A manual dispense can be initiated from the main menu by pressing either the
START/STOP
key or the foot switch. The PHARM/
Pump III
will dispense its
programmed volume, using the programmed speed profile & direction. During a
manual dispense the display shows the following information:
The currently selected memory letter is shown in the top left hand corner of the display.
Immediately after this is either the drug name (when in named drug mode) or the
dispense type description, eg. Ambul. (when in unnamed drug mode). When not in
named drug mode the right hand side of the top line displays the volume of fluid to be
dispensed, otherwise this is assumed to be 10.0mL.
On the bottom line of the display can be found the number of manual dispenses
performed in this session, including the current dispense, and a running total of the
volume of fluid being pumped.
When the dispense has finished a label is printed if necessary and the display reverts to
the main menu where the pumping operation can be repeated if required.
Note: The dispense count will increment each time the pumping operation is initiated.
