Infusion Pump:
Infusion Mode
When the pump is infusing medication, there will
always be information available on the screen to
assure you that the pump is functioning properly.
The LCD will display the infusion rate in
mL/Hr at the center of the screen.
The medication bag symbol will display while the pump is infusing
your medication.
A green LED light will show at the top right corner of your pump
indicating the infusion is running, then it will turn off after 10 minutes to
save battery power.
After any button press, the green LED will turn on again for 10 more
minutes to inform you the infusion is delivering before the LED powers
off again. This is normal.
Along the bottom of the screen, additional information is displayed about your
infusion:
The letters “VTBI” followed by a number will tell you the remaining
Volume To Be Infused (VTBI) before the therapy ends.
The letters “VINF” followed by a number will tell you how much
medication has been infused so far during your infusion.
“Next AB” followed by a time will indicate when the next Auto-Bolus
dose is scheduled to be infused.
“Next DB” followed by a time will indicate the lockout time remaining
before the next Demand Bolus will be allowed.
From time to time, you may hear a sound as the motor turns to infuse
the numbing medication.
Pause Mode
If the fluid bag icon is missing from the display and a yellow LED light is
showing, these signals indicate that the pump is in pause mode and is not
infusing medication. If after 10 minutes the infusion is not resumed, the pump
will sound an audible
alert and the screen will display a “Pump Unattended”
message to tell you it is in standby mode waiting to be told what to do next.
