NOTE: The total volume is controlled by the IL over the dose interval. This means it is
possible for the bolus and dose to be delivered back-to-back (i.e., the bolus at the
endofonedoseintervalandthedoseatthestartofthenextdoseinterval).
NOTE: Fromthestartofonedosetothestartofthenextdose(doseinterval),theIL
is maintained, but over a time that covers the end of one dose interval and the
startofthenextdoseinterval,thevolumesetfortheILmaybeexceeded.(This
situation is shown in Figure 1-7. The total volume infused from the time the
bolusisstartedattheendoftherstdoseintervaltothetimeattheendofthe
rstbolusintheseconddoseinterval,mayexceedtheIL.SeeFigure1-8below.)
