Continuous Infusion
The following workflow assumes that the pump module has already been programmed with an Initial
Primary Continuous Infusion and 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.
3. After the parameters are confirmed, press the START soft key.
The rate, VTBI, and dose are pre-populated from the automated programming request.
If the subsequent automated programming request contains an infusion parameter (rate or dose) that
changes
the current infusion rate, a message appears with a recalculation of the rate notification.
