Bolus dosing
A
Bolus dose
is a separate delivery that pauses the
main infusion, delivers the bolus (often at a different,
higher rate), then returns to the main infusion when
complete. It is an optional parameter of continuous
delivery modes which allows a bolus volume or dose
to be delivered over a specified time. Bolus dose may
also be configured to be automatically “prompted”
or included in the programming steps of a drug
program.

dose mode (e.g. Mg/Kg) or in Total Dose
(e.g. Mg). Use the number keys to set the
desired bolus dose for this infusion (or to
set the dose volume in mL, if applicable
for the infusion). Volume is limited by the
maximum fill volume of the current syringe

the syringe size. When the dose setting (or
bolus volume) is correct, press Enter .
