 Patient weight or BSA is not editable during a Secondary Infusion.
 Once a patient weight or BSA is entered and the infusion started, the patient weight or BSA is
automatically entered for any additional weight-based or BSA calculation. Prior to the start of infusion,
the patient weight or BSA key remains an editable field so that patient weight or BSA can be adjusted
for any module. Changing the patient weight or BSA on one module will not affect the patient weight or
BSA 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 d
isplay, 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.
