4. Press the START soft key.
5. For the syringe module, unclamp tubing and attach administration set to patient.
NOTE:
Unclamping tubing and starting infusion before attaching administration set to patient minimizes any
potential bolus that can be released from pressure built up in set due to normal syringe loading and
priming.
Programming with Interoperability — Subsequent Primary Infusion
(Pump Module)
Hospital policy should determine the preferred method for programming subsequent infusions.
Subsequent infusion for the pump module refers to new bags, syringes, or containers used with the pump
module.
An
automated programming request for a matching subsequent infusion can b
e sent to a pump module that
is infusing, paused, delayed, or alarming (including Infusion Complete - KVO).
Pre-populating an active pump module is allowed if all of the follow
ing
infusion parameters match
between the subsequent infusion automated programming request and the running infusion:
• Drug or Fluid name (alias or NDC)
• Drug Amount (not applicable for fluids)
• Drug Amount units (not applicable for fluids)
• Diluent Volume (not applicable for fluids)
• Dosing units (not applicable for fluids)
• Patient Weight/BSA (if used)
NOTE:
If the infusion that is running on the pump module is a custom concentration, the
Drug Amount and Diluent
Volume still must match between the incoming subsequent infusion automated programming request and
the running infusion.
