• If the programmed bolus dose and/or bolus dose duration is outside the hard limit for that care
area, an audio alert sounds and a visual prompt appears before programming can continue.
Infusion needs to be re
programmed.
• If a bolus dose outside of soft limits has been entered and verified as correct, Message Display also
shows either “LLL” for a low dose or “
↑↑↑
” for a high dose.
• If a soft limit is overridden,
G icon is displayed. When G soft key is pressed, all applicable out-of-
range limits are listed.
8. Syringe module:
• If bolus dose was programmed at beginning of infusion, 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.
Stopping a Bolus Dose
The display examples in this procedure represent stopping a bolus dose which was programmed using the
drug library. Even where the displays are different when stopping a bolus dose which was programmed
using a non-library drug, the procedure is the same.
