Manual /Multi-Step Programming
The Manual (RAMP/Multi-Step) Programming Mode allows the pump to be programmed with up
to 10 individual infusion steps using either the Drug Error Prevention or Basic Programming Opera-
tions. Drugs are eligible for use in the Manual Programming Mode, provided that the selected drug
has not been specifically assigned to either the primary or secondary bag as identified in the pump’s
Master Drug Library. In software versions 6.04.01 and later “Primary Only, Multi-Step” in the
MDL is also available for multi-step programming.

and only programmed step. The pump may not be started if setup data is
missing from any step in the program. Any parameter data missing within
the program shall be identified in a popup message when a program
attempts to start.
