Programming with Interoperability — Subsequent Primary Infusion
(Syringe Module)
Hospital policy should determine the preferred method for programming subsequent infusions.
Subsequent infusion for the syringe module refers t
o new syringes used with the syringe module.
An automated programming request for a subsequent infusion can be sent to a syringe mod
ule when it is
infusing or in an idle state.
NOTE:
If an infusion is in Delay when a subsequ
ent automated programming request is sent, the Delay will be
canceled and the subsequent automated programming request infusion parameters will be pre-populated
on the PCU. To add a delay manually, see Delay Options on page 155.
Pre-population of infusion parameters for a subsequent syringe is the same workflow as an Initial Primary
Infusion. See Programming with Interoperability — Initial Primary Infusion
on page 123 for more
information.
Programming with Interoperability — Secondary Infusion (Pump
Module)
This mode is designed to support programming of secondary infusions ("piggybacking") on the same
module as a primary fluid. When the secondary VTBI reaches zero, an audio tone sounds (if enabled)
indicating completion of the secondary infusion. The primary infusion resumes automatically.
When the instrument is programmed and delivering in the secondary mod
e, the primary infusion is
temporarily stopped and fluid is drawn from the secondary container. Delivery from the primary container
resumes when the fluid level in the secondary line is level with the fluid in the primary container.
NOTE:
When primary sets without a check valve are used, the clinician must manually clamp of
f the primary line
during the secondary infusion and then manually unclamp the line once the secondary VTBI reaches zero.
Infusion
In order to pre-populate infusion parameters for a secondary infusion, a primary fluid that supports a
secondary must already be programmed or infusing. For more information, see Programming with
Interoperability — Initial Pr
imary Infusion, Fluid Infusion on page 128 and Manual Programming —
Secondary Infusion (Pump Module), Fluid Infusion on page 128.
Setup
1. Open a secondary administration set package, remove set, and close clamp.
2. Insert the administration set spike
into the prepared fluid container and hang the secondary container,
following accepted hospital/facility procedure.
3. Fill drip chamber to 2/3 full.
4. Open the secondary administration set clamp and prime the set
. Close clamp.
Secondary applications require the use of a check valve or clamp on the primary IV line in
order to prevent backflow of secondary medication into the primary line.
