At the end of VTBI, the Pump will first display VTBI DONE/INFUSING KVO. Press CANCEL to
display KVO screen.
The Pump continues to infuse at a very low (Default) rate. KVO is used to keep the patients vein
open, in order to prevent blood clots and catheter occlusions.
Note: If the KVO rate (Default 5ml/h) is greater than the set infusion parameters then the
Pump will continue to infuse at the set infusion rate. The KVO rate will flash on screen
to indicate this is not the usual infusion rate.
The Pump will beep every 5 seconds while in KVO mode.
