The generic workflow for pre-population of infusion parameters is as follows. Contact your EMR/HIS
vendor for detailed instructions. Using the EMR/HIS system scanner used for barcode medication
administration:
• Scan Patient's ID Band
• Scan fluid/medication barcode label
• Scan barcode label on the pu
mp or
syringe module
• Pump module: The pump module must be in an idle state or the
clinician has pressed CHANNEL
SELECT. Pre-population will fail if the module is scanned after the user has manually programmed
the infusion beyond pressing
CHANNEL SELECT.
• Syringe module: Pre-population of infusion parameters for a syringe module may occur when the
module is already infusing, in an idle state, and/or the clinician has pressed
CHANNEL SELECT.
Pre-population will fail if the module is scanned after the user has manually programmed the
infusion after pressing
CHANNEL SELECT.
NOTE:
If the automated programming request is sent while the syringe module is infusing, a prompt appears on
the PCU to install the scanned syringe.
For the pump module, proceed to step 6.
4. For the syringe module, select the syringe
type and size; otherwise proceed to step 6. If the installed
syringe is loaded correctly, but not recognized, che
ck the following:
a. If a label is between the syringe barrel an
d the barrel clamp, make sure that the label does not
erroneously enlarge the barrel size of the syringe.
b. If a needle-free valve or other component is added to the syringe, ensure t
hat it is no larger than the
diameter of the syringe barrel.
NOTE:
• Thick labeling or adding a component to the syringe that is larger than the diameter of the syringe
may prevent the device from correctly recognizing the installed syringe. If the issue continues
despite the above troubleshooting, send the device to your facility’s biomedical engineering
department for servicing.
• The capability of the syringe module to recognize a new syringe and read the volume is unchanged
from manual programming.
Ensure that the displayed syringe manufacturer and syringe size correctly identify the installed
syringe. Mismatches might cause an under-infusion or over-infusion to the patient that could
result in serious injury and/or death. For a list of compatible syringes, refer to Compatible
Syringes (Syringe Module) on page 175. If the installed syringe is displayed and selected but is
not recognized, servicing is required. (See Troubleshooting and Maintenance on page 324.)
Selecting an incorrect syringe may cause an under or over infusion to the patient.
