NOTE:
In the case of an OCC alarm due to downstream
pressure (occlusion alarm), the pump will display a
visual alarm initially. An audible alarm is delayed for
3 minutes. If the occlusion is not remedied within 3
minutes, the audible alarm will sound. If the cause of the
alarm is corrected within the 3 minute delay, the audible
alarm will silence itself and the pump will resume the
infusion automatically.

Bolus Activation
The BOLUS button is located on the pump directly below the RUN/
PAUSE button. Every time the BOLUS button is pressed during the
infusion the pump will beep once. If the bolus is permitted (the lockout
time has elapsed), then the pump will begin bolus administration.
During bolus infusion, the green run light will double blink. If the
BOLUS button is pressed during the lockout time, the pump will beep
once but no bolus will be delivered.
NOTE:
The bolus activation function is only available in PCA
and P+P modes.
NOTE:
If the bolus volume is set to 0.0 ml, no bolus will be
delivered when the BOLUS button is pressed.
NOTE:
The BOLUS button is disabled if the volume to be
infused has been delivered. During this time, if the
BOLUS button is pressed, the “infusion complete” alarm
will sound.
NOTE:
A remote BOLUS switch may also be used. Connect the
remote BOLUS switch to the pump before placing the
pump in run mode.
