Detailed Instructions
Selecting an Infusion Mode
If a default mode has been assigned to the selected protocol, the pump sets the infusion
mode automatically. The name of the mode is displayed briefly in the text field, and
programming continues with syringe manufacturer selection.
If no default mode has been assigned to the selected protocol, the pump displays a
SELECT MODE ▼▲ prompt.
Continue with the appropriate mode programming section below.
For additional information about the Protocol Library, see “Protocol Library Feature” on
page 21.
Programming mL/hr and mL/min Mode
In these modes, the pump runs at a programmed, constant rate. A volume limit can also
be programmed in these modes.
Note: If a protocol has been selected, the infusion mode may appear automatically.
1. At the SELECT MODE ▲▼ prompt, use ▲ or ▼ to display the available infusion mode
selections. Press
CONFIRM to select the desired infusion mode.
2. Use ▲ or ▼ and CONFIRM as required to select the syringe manufacturer and size.
Note: If a protocol has been selected, a default infusion rate may appear automatically.
Use ▲ and ▼ or the digit keys to modify this value as necessary.

4. Press CONFIRM to complete the entry.
Volume Limit
The Volume Limit feature is a configurable option available only in the mL/hr and mL/min
modes. The pump stops when the programmed volume limit has been delivered.
Enter the desired volume limit. When the delivery begins, the VOL LIMIT field displays the
amount of drug remaining until the programmed volume limit is reached. The pump stops
when the VOL LIMIT field reaches zero.
The Volume Limit feature can be temporarily disabled without reconfiguring the pump by
programming zero (
0) in the VOL LIMIT field.
