3.7 Adjust Loading Dose
A disabled loading dose can be enabled and an enabled loading
dose can be adjusted by changing the volume or the lock-out time.
The loading dose volume range is 0.1 mL to 3.0 mL and can be set in
increments of 0.1 mL
Note: Setting the loading dose volume to 0.00 disables the loading dose
delivery feature.
A loading dose lock-out time is the interval from the time the pump is
stopped until the time the pump is able to deliver a loading dose. During
the lock-out time, no loading dose deliveries can be performed by the
pump. The lock-out time prevents delivery of a loading dose too soon
after the last infusion. The lock-out time range is 3 hours to 8 hours in
increments of 1 hour.
