How to Tell Whether E-Plates Are Enabled For Use
Medex ships the infusion pump with all the libraries disabled. Whether they are enabled on the pump you are using
depends entirely on its custom configuration.
What actual E-Plates presets you have available depend on the configuration setup by the person responsible for
custom configuration before the pumps were delivered to your work area.
You can tell whether E-Plates is enabled for use by what you see onscreen when you start the pump, or when you
progress to the B
EGIN
I
NFUSION
screen, or when you return to the beginning screen.

Below is the rule of thumb for determining whether the E-Plates library is disabled and not available for you to use:

When E-P
LATES
is
disabled
, or there is
no
stored template in the library, the S

menu is what you
see onscreen after you turn on the pump and it completes its startup self-check. It will look something like the
screen below:

The infusion pump gives you visual cues when the E-Plates library is enabled. Below are some rules for determining
whether the E-Plates library is enabled and ready for you to use:

Normally … the S

screen is the first thing you see on screen after you turn on the pump and it
completes it startup self-checks.
&
But when E-P
LATES
is enabled
, and there
is
a stored template in the E-Plates library, the S

ENTRY menu is the first thing you see on screen after you turn on the pump and it completes its startup self-
checks.

If you then press the
Main Menu
button from the above S

screen, this toggles the S

E-Plates
button, you return to the S

If you press the

Using E-Plates
E-Plates are much easier to use, in fact, than to describe how to use them. If E-Plates are enabled, and there is at least
one saved template in the library, you just press a button to select it.
