Operator’s Manual
User defined pump
Configurations
This chapter describes the Medfusion
®
Model 3500
pump V6 Configuration.
What are Configurations?
A
Configuration
is a database of pump settings
organized into Profiles, Categories and Drug
Programs. The Configuration has global settings
that are applicable to the pump operations. The
Configuration may have up to 16 Profiles. Each
Profile has a set of Profile-level settings and also
up to 8 Categories. Each Category may contain up
to 36 Drug Programs. There is a special category
called a Quick Library. A Quick Library contains
Drug Programs that have all infusion parameters
pre-specified to allow quick start of an infusion.
A
Configuration
is defined here as a stored record
of infusion settings that load from memory. These
programs
are stored in memory indefinitely (over 10
years) or until overwritten.
The Configuration is set up using PharmGuard
®
Toolbox 2. When it is completed it should be
validated by the person responsible for custom
configuration before the pumps are delivered to a
work area.
When are Drug Programs used?
Every unit, department, organization, or hospital has
standard ways of delivering medications or fluids. The
custom setup enables the use of
programs
of
stored
presets
.
Using the PharmGuard
®
Toolbox 2 Software,
the PharmGuard
®
Toolbox 2 Administrator will
establish the pump Configuration that implements
the standard infusions for the unit, department,
organization, or hospital. This process is described in
the PharmGuard
®
Toolbox 2
User’s Manual
.
Who can use these Drug Programs?
Anyone who is authorized to use the infusion pump
can use programs from the available libraries.
Types of programmable Library
Categories
There are two types of Library Categories in the
Medfusion
®
Model 3500 pump V6:
Library
Category
Type
What it does
Standard
Standard
library categories contain
programs with parameters that are
applied when programming an infusion.
These libraries require stepping through
and reviewing each setting. This allows
modifying standard settings while stepping
through preset values.
Quick
A quick category contains drug
programs with the presets necessary for
programming an infusion. However, they
do not pause at each level for entry of the
settings.
Instead,
the entire set of values is
programmed at one step including syringe
model and size
. The
Begin Infusion
screen, where all infusion values are
shown, displays at once. At that point,
confirm all the settings are correct, then
press
É
to begin delivery.
WARNINGS:
Confirm All Settings
. Before starting
any
delivery,
always
confirm the accuracy of
all
infusion values
to the original order. Programming the pump at a
delivery rate other than that prescribed will cause
inappropriate delivery, which can result in serious
injury or death.
When using Quick Libraries, preset values are
automatically inserted without pausing to verify
each setting. The
Begin Infusion
screen displays
immediately after selecting/confirming the drug
program. Verify the infusion parameters before
starting the delivery. Certain data fields may not be
programmed (e.g. patient weight) and require data
entry before the infusion will proceed.
Displaying Quick Library Options:
The steps in
this section are hypothetical. The Medfusion
®
Model 3500 pump V6 is shipped with a Medfusion
®
Standard Configuration, and without any Profiles,
Categories and Drug Programs. So the actual Quick
Libraries available depend entirely on the custom
Configuration sent to the pump.
