Manual Programming — Secondary Infusion (Pump Module)
This mode is designed to support the delivery of secondary infusions (“piggybacking”) in the same
module. A secondary infusion can be programmed as a No Guardrails - Basic Infusion or Drug Library
Infusion. When the secondary
VTBI reaches zero, an audio tone sounds (if enabled) indicating completion
of the secondary infusion. The primary infusion resumes automatically.
When the instrument is programmed and delivering in the secondary mod
e, the primary infusion is
temporarily stopped and fluid is drawn from the secondary container. Delivery from the primary container
resumes when
the fluid level in the secondary line is level with the fluid in the primary container.
NOTE:
When primary sets without a check valve are used, the clinician must manually clamp of
f the primary line
during the secondary infusion and then manually unclamp the line once the secondary VTBI reaches zero.
