Default Bolus Size If a protocol specifies a default bolus size, the default value
appears automatically when the Bolus Size field is first
opened for editing. This value may be changed, or it may be
accepted by pressing
CONFIRM.
Bolus Maximum Rate The bolus delivery rate is normally limited to the smaller of:
the limit specified by the RATE RANGE configuration
option, or the maximum rate for the programmed syringe. If
a protocol specifies a bolus maximum rate, the pump will
further limit the bolus delivery rate so it does not exceed the
specified bolus maximum rate, which is defined in terms of
dosage (such as mcg/kg/min).
Bypassing the Protocol Library Feature
Note: The NONE selection may not be available, depending upon configuration.
Selecting
NONE at the SELECT LIBRARY or SELECT PROTOCOL step bypasses the
Protocol Library feature and allows infusion mode selection and programming to proceed
in the normal way.
Serial Communication Feature
The pump provides remote control and monitoring capabilities. A standard 9-pin
connector (DB9) allows the connection of an RS-232 cable between the pump and a
computer. The cable allows an operator at a remote computer to control pump operations
and to query the pump for data such as infusion totals, program values, and operational
status. The remote control feature is a configurable option. See the Auto Syringe AS50
Infusion Pump Programmer’s Manual for details.
