Dose Initiation
The NEXT DOSE IN field on the display shows the time remaining until the next
dose is due to be delivered. When this time counts down to 0:00, the pump
automatically begins infusing the dose.
“Counting Time” Display
The three RUN lights flash in a “falling drop” pattern while the pump is infusing.
When the pump is counting time between scheduled doses, only the top
RUN
light flashes.
Programming Notes
1. All time displays use standard time notation: the two digits to the left of the
colon show hours, the two digits to the right show minutes.
2. The programmed delivery can be stopped at any time by pressing STOP.
The
RUN light(s) then turn off, the STANDBY light begins flashing, and the
TOTAL ML
field stops counting up. Press START to continue the infusion
program.
3. Pressing STOP affects the NEXT DOSE IN time field in two different ways,
depending on the pump's infusion status at the time:
• If STOP is pressed while the pump is infusing a dose (the three RUN
lights are flashing in sequence), the
NEXT DOSE IN field will stop
counting down, until
START is pressed again. This feature allows the
schedule to be delayed while ensuring delivery of the full dose.
• If STOP is pressed while the pump is counting down the time to the
next dose (only the top
RUN light is flashing), the NEXT DOSE IN field
will continue to count down while the pump is stopped. This feature
allows editing during idle time, without altering the overall schedule. If a
dose becomes due while the pump is stopped, delivery of the dose will
begin immediately when
START is pressed.
4. If either the INFUSE field or the OVER field is edited, the pump treats the
result as a new infusion. As a reminder,
DOSE CANCELED appears for a
few seconds.
