Start or Resume the Infusion
To start the infusion, press the RUN/ STOP
key. A fluid bag icon will be displayed on the
screen to indicate the infusion is running; The LED
will show a green light and will be on for 10 minutes,
then the LED will turn off until the next key press.
Demand Bolus

Press the blue Bolus
key to request an extra (
bolus
) dose of medication. If
allowed in your prescription, a bar displays on the screen to countdown the
Bolus volume indicating the medicine is being delivered.
Delay Start Infusion
– if enabled
A delay start feature can be activated to extend the duration of therapy up to 24
hours longer without adding extra medicine to the IV bag. The delay start
function places the pump on hold to run in standby mode. When the timer
counts down to zero, the infusion will automatically run without requiring any
user intervention.

While a Delay Start is active, the LCD screen
will display a timer counting down the hours and
minutes that remain before the programmed infusion
is scheduled to begin.
Cancel a Delay Start
To override the Delay Start, as instructed by your support team, press and hold
the BOLUS key
for 3 seconds to cancel the delay timer. The delay
countdown will be cancelled. A bolus (if enabled) will be delivered immediately,
followed by the infusion therapy as prescribed by your clinical care team.
