Intermittent 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
.
NOTE:
Syringe Module: The KVO option is disab
led when an intermittent infusion is programmed.
1. Review and verify that all parameters pre-populated on the system are correct prior to starting the
infusion.
The drug amount, diluent volume, and patient weight (if intermittent infusion
is weight-based) or BSA
(if intermittent infusion is BSA based) are pre-populated from the automated programming request.
2. Press the
NEXT to confirm.
NOTE:
Syringe module:
• ALL Mode can still be enabled with interoperability. However, the VTBI will pre-populate with the
volume to be infused from the automated programming request.
• If the VTBI in the automated programming request is larger 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 duration are pre-populated from the automated programming request.
