Programming Notes
1. The patient body weight range is from 0.01 to 200.0 kilograms (kg). The drug
concentration range is from 0.0001 mg/mL to 100.0 mg/mL. The concentration range
may be further limited for very large or small body weights. 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. and BODY WT fields 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.
