2.4 Set Continuous Infusion Rates
Discuss and establish a frequency for changing syringes with your
patient based on the patient's needs. Any time the continuous infusion
rate is changed, revisit this schedule with the patient.
Up to 3 different continuous infusion rates (base, high, and low) can be
set to allow the patient to choose up to 3 pre-set rates throughout the
day. Base should be used as the standard continuous infusion rate. High
and low rates are optional alternative rates to the base rate. The pump
prevents low from being higher than base and prevents base from being
higher than high.
For patients who will not require continuous infusion rate options, the
high and/or low rates can be turned off. To turn off (disable) the high and/
or low rate, set the high and/or low rate to the same value as the base
rate.
The continuous infusion rates can range from 0.15 mL/h to 1.25 mL/h
and can be set in increments of 0.01 mL/h.
2. Set the high rate.
a. Use the arrow keys to choose the
value.
b. Press NEXT once the high rate is
set to the correct value.
Note: To disable the high rate, set
the high rate to the same value as
the base rate.
