Setting the PCA Delay Period
Note:
Skip this procedure if programming a Continuous prescription.
The first delay period is measured from the start of the infusion program to the start of the first PCA dose.
Subsequent delay periods begin with the start of delivery of each PCA dose. During the delay period, another
PCA dose may not be started even if a PCA dose is interrupted.
Important: The delay time must elapse before a patient attempt will result in an injection, whether or not a
bolus dose was given. This delay allows any bolus to take effect before allowing an injection.
