Continuous Infusion
The following workflow assumes that the Patient's ID band, medication/fluid barcode label, and the
module barcode labels have been scanned, see Programming with Interoperability — Initial Primary
Infusion on page 123
.
1. Review and verify that all parameters pre-pop
ulated on the system are correct prior to starting the
infusion.
The drug amount, diluent volume, and patient weight (if conti
nuous infusion is weight based) are pre-
populated from the automated programming request.
2. Press the
NEXT to confirm.
NOTE:
Syringe module:
• ALL Mode ca
n still be enabled with interoperability. However, the VTBI pre-populates with the
volume to be infused from the automated programming request.
• If the VTBI in the automated programming request is greater than the actual volume in the syringe
(for example, priming the IV disposable with the syringe would decrease the available volume in the
syringe), the system will display the VTBI field as blank and the message in the prompt line on the
Alaris PCU would state: Value x Exceeds MAX VTBI y. The clinician can either manually program a
value for the VTBI or use the ALL button if appropriate (and if the ALL Mode is enabled in the data
set).
3. Review and verify that all parameters pre-populated on the system are correct prior to starting the
infusion.
The rate, VTBI and dose are pre-populated from the automated prog
ramming request.
4. Press the
START soft key.
