Programming Example
WARNING:
Ensure that the ± 6% system delivery accuracy specification is taken into account when
programming the pump and/or filling the reservoir. Failure to do so may result in medication in
the reservoir becoming depleted sooner than expected. If the pump is used to deliver critical or life-
sustaining medication, the interruption in the delivery of medication could result in patient injury
or death.
Example:
A total of 1 L of TPN solution must be delivered to the patient over 12 hours. The TPN bag
contains 1050 mL of solution. Delivery must taper up over 90 minutes at the beginning of the delivery, and
taper down over 90 minutes at the end of delivery.
