Medfusion® Model 3500 pump V6 Operator’s Manual
Adjusted limits in reverse
During set up, the pump determines absolute
minimums and maximums based on the physical
abilities of the pump, such as syringe size (among
other things). (See the table on page 129 for
minimum and maximum flow rates.) If the
PharmGuard
®
software limits are outside of the pump
limits, the pump adjusts the limits as appropriate.
When this occurs, the limit priority alarm “
Limits
Adjusted—Cannot Deliver All Doses
” is
sounded. When the pump adjusts limits, they are
reverse highlighted.
Overridden limits in reverse
When a soft limit is overridden, as described
previously in “Soft Limits”, the overridden values are
displayed in reverse highlight.
Invalid infusion parameter combination
The pump has several types of limits: physical limits,
those imposed by the syringe size in use, and drug
program limits.
When the PharmGuard
®
software limits and the
pump physical limits cannot be reconciled, the alarm
“
Invalid Infusion Parameter Combination
”
or “ Calculated Rate Out of Range ” is
displayed. At this point, the only possible corrective
action is to silence the alarm, look at the prompt
to determine which values were to be entered,
press
â
one or more times, and attempt to
re-enter valid values. An example of an invalid
infusion parameter combination is one where the
pump physical maximum is lower than the software
minimum, or vice-versa. Whenever a “
Calculated
Rate Out of Range
” or, in certain cases of an
“ Invalid Infusion Parameter Combination ”
alarm occurs, it is possible that the drug program
created in PharmGuard
®
Toolbox 2 is such that no
valid entry is possible, in which case you will need to
document the issue and request an update for custom
Configuration.
It may be useful to check calculations using a
calculator and formula to help identify issues with
invalid infusion parameters. If a pump has recurring
issues with invalid infusion parameters, contact the
person(s) responsible for configuring pumps.
