Detailed Instructions
Bolus in mg/hr, mg/min, mcg/hr, and mcg/min Modes
Note: If a protocol has been selected, bolus delivery may be disallowed or a default
bolus size may appear automatically. If a default bolus size is displayed, use
▲
and ▼ or the digit keys to modify the value as necessary.
In these modes, bolus size is entered in mg or mcg. The pump automatically calculates
the equivalent bolus size in mL and displays both values. Bolus rate is displayed in mL/hr.
See “Bolus Function” on page 55 for more information on bolus delivery.
Programming Notes
1. The drug concentration range is from 0.0001 mg/mL to 100.0 mg/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/kg/hr, mg/kg/min, mcg/kg/hr, and mcg/kg/min Modes
In these modes, the pump runs at a programmed, constant rate. The infusion is
programmed in terms of patient body weight, drug concentration and dose.
Note: If a protocol has been selected, the infusion mode may have been selected auto-
matically.

ically. If a default drug concentration is displayed, use
▲ and ▼ or the digit keys to
modify this value as necessary, and press
CONFIRM to complete the data entry.
4. Enter the drug concentration (CONC.) in mg/mL. Press CONFIRM to complete the data
