Setting the Dose Limit
Note:
Skip this procedure if programming a Continuous prescription.
The pump will display a 1-hour, 4-hour, or maximum PCA dose limit, depending on the configuration. If the
1-hour or 4-hour limit is reprogrammed, a new time period is started and the dosage delivered is restarted
from zero. If the maximum PCA dose limit per hour is reprogrammed, a new time period is started, but the
dose that was stopped before the delivery was completed will be counted towards the dose per hour limit in
the new time period.
