8. Syringe module:
• Unclamp tubing and attach administration set to patient.
• Unclamping tubing and starting infusion before attaching administrati
on set to patient minimizes
any potential bolus that can be released from pressure built up in set due to normal syringe loading
and priming.
NOTE:
The facility can choose to pre-populate standard drug concentrations, or leave a custom concentration
(_ _ / _ _ mL) and allow the clinician to enter the desired concentration.
Patient weight can be edited during a continuous infusion.
Once a patient weight is entered and an infusion is started for any module, the patient weight is
automatically entered for any additional weight-based calculation. The patient weight remains an
editable field, therefore patient weight can be adjusted for any module. Changing the patient weight on
one module does not affect the patient weight on any other module.
NOTE:
Programming the secondary rate over 500 mL/h may result in c
oncurrent flow with the primary container.
NOTE:
It is possible to program an infusion with a rate that is displayed with
two decimal places (one-hundredth of
a mL per hour) on the PCU for the pump module. However, due to space limitations on the pump module
rate display, the rate is displayed to the nearest one-tenth of a mL per hour on the pump module. This
value is only used for display purposes and the pump module is actually infusing at the more precise rate
noted on the PCU.
Bolus Dose
A bolus dose can be programmed at the beginning of, or during, a continuous infusion. The drug being
programmed must be a bolusable drug selected from the drug library or a non-library drug, as described in
the following procedures.
1. Set up infusion as described in Programming a Continuous Infusion on page 91, but do not start
infusion.
2. Press the BOLUS soft key.
• If the programmed continuous dose infusion is outside the soft limit for that care a
rea, an audio
alert sounds and a visual prompt appears before programming can continue. If
Yes soft key is
pressed, programming continues; if
No soft key is pressed, infusion needs to be reprogrammed.
• If the programmed continuous dose infusion is outside the hard limit for that care area, an a
udio
alert sounds and a visual prompt appears before programming can c
ontinue. The infusion needs to
be reprogrammed.
