General Information
Arrow Keys Arrow keys can be used instead of individual digits for
selecting predefined responses, incrementing or
decrementing fields. In general, arrow keys cannot be used
to initialize fields that have been cleared to dashes, except
for syringe size and manufacturer fields.
Key Sounds An audible click provides confirmation of each keypress.
The pump indicates an invalid keypress by sounding a short
beep. Simultaneous keypresses are ignored.
Dashes Dashes are displayed when a field is clear and open for
programming. In general, digit keys must be used to enter a
value in a dashed field. If an arrow key is pressed while
dashes are displayed, the pump beeps and displays the
message
USE DIGITS.
Protocol Library Feature
The Protocol Library feature is a configurable option that allows authorized personnel to
store named sets or protocols of frequently used programming data. Protocols may also
be grouped into libraries.
Using a protocol can simplify the programming process by providing default selections at
some of the data entry steps. For instructions on selecting a protocol, see “Using
Protocols” on page 32.
The Protocol Library feature is enabled or disabled through the pump configuration mode.
This procedure can be done by authorized personnel on site, and is described in the Auto
Syringe AS50 Infusion Pump Service Manual.
A protocol may specify any of the following:
Default Infusion Mode If a protocol specifies a default infusion mode, the infusion
mode programming step is skipped. The pump briefly
displays the infusion mode name before proceeding directly
to the syringe manufacturer programming step.
Default Concentration If a protocol specifies a default concentration, the default
value appears automatically at the start of the
concentration programming step. This value may be
changed, or it may be accepted by pressing
CONFIRM.
Default Dose or Rate If a protocol specifies a default dose or rate, the default
value appears automatically at the start of the
ENTER DOSE
or
ENTER RATE programming step. This value may be
changed, or it may be accepted by pressing
CONFIRM.
Bolus Prevention If a protocol specifies bolus prevention, the pump will not
allow a bolus to be programmed or delivered. If
BOLUS is
pressed, the pump beeps and displays the message
NOT
ALLOWED
