Operating States
Standby State
When the pump is in Standby state, the infusion is stopped and the STANDBY light
flashes. If the pump is left in Standby state for more than two minutes, a
PUMP IS IDLE
alert or alarm occurs.
Run State
There are two Run states: Run Delivering state and Run Counting state.
In Run Delivering state, the infusion program is running and the pump is delivering an
infusion. The three
RUN lights flash in a “falling drop” pattern.
In Run Counting state, the infusion program is counting time until the next dose is due,
and the pump is not delivering an infusion. The top
RUN light flashes.
Note: Bolus and Purge operations are special infusion states. The
RUN lights flash in
unison when bolusing or purging in both Standby and Run states.
Data Display and Entry
Numeric Data Numbers are displayed in a right-justified format. A leading
zero appears before decimal values when the field size
permits. For example, the value “.12” is displayed as
0.12.
Time Data Fields In time fields, values are displayed right justified. Leading
zero(es) are automatically entered if needed. For example,
1 minute is entered by pressing
1, CONFIRM and is
displayed as
0:01.
Automatic Decimal If a number is entered without a decimal point, the pump
automatically enters a decimal point to the right of the
number when
CONFIRM is pressed.
Flashing Data The data within a field flashes to show that the field has
been opened and is ready to be programmed or edited.
Flashing Annunciators The annunciators for the current field flash. The current
field will be opened for editing when
EDIT is pressed.
Data Test All entered data is tested when
CONFIRM is pressed. If the
entered value is too large or too small, the pump issues a
PUMP LIMIT alert and substitutes the nearest acceptable
value. Press
CONFIRM to accept the value, or enter a
different value.
