Your clinician may or may not have programmed a taper up
or a taper down. If there is no taper up, delivery will start at
the plateau rate. If there is no taper down, you will still hear
9 beeps at the end of the infusion profile, but the rate will
immediately drop from the plateau rate to the KVO rate.
Then when you stop the pump, it will automatically reset to
the beginning of the infusion profile.
