Placing the Pump on Standby (Hold Mode)
You can place the pump in a standby state to prevent the occurrence of the Inactivity Alarm (see
“Alarms” section, beginning on page 46) for the period of time specified in the User Settings / Alarm
Settings menu option. The default setting is to provide an infinite period of time; however, this value
may be changed from one minute up to 99 hours and 59 minutes.
1.
Load the set and complete the infusion setup.
Once setup has been completed and the highlight is on the Volume Given mL value, a dis-
play appears stating that the pump may either be started or it may be placed in standby
mode.
2.
To place the pump in standby, press the
HOLD
softkey.
When standby is activated, the In Standby message is displayed in a flashing format.
NOTE:
If the delay period is set to infinite, the time value in the display will be
replaced with a dashed line.
3.
While in standby, press
RUN
at any time to begin the infusion. Pressing any other key or
opening the pump door cancels standby mode.
Standby in non-alarm condition
Pump Standby may also be used when the pump is stopped in a non-alarm condition. Press the
REVIEW/PROGRAM
softkey and then press the
HOLD
softkey from the setup screen.
