Programming Notes
1. The drug concentration range is from 0.01 Units/mL to 9999 Units/mL. The dose limits
are determined by the drug concentration and syringe selection. See “Syringe Data
Tables” on page 25 for minimum and maximum infusion rates for each syringe.
2. The CONC. field cannot be reprogrammed once the infusion has been started.
3. Pressing CONFIRM during delivery briefly displays additional program data.
4. A bolus can only be programmed, edited, or delivered after the drug concentration
(
CONC.) has been programmed.
Programming mg/hr, mg/min, mcg/hr, and mcg/min Modes
In these modes, the pump runs at a programmed, constant rate. The infusion is
programmed in terms of drug concentration and dose.
Note: If a protocol has been selected, the infusion mode may have been selected auto-
matically.
