10. 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.
11. Open the clamp on secondary administration set.
12. Press the
START soft key.
NOTE
Pre-population of infusion parameters on the system DOES NOT automatically start the infusion. As
with any infusion, all infusion parameters need to be reviewed and confirmed by the clinician before
pressing
START.
13. Verify that drops are flowing from the secondary container drip chamber.
The secondary VTBI settings require consideration of such variables as factory overfill and
medication additions. Underestimating the volume causes the remaining secondary solution to
be infused at the primary rate; overestimating results in the primary solution being infused at
the secondary rate. Multiple doses from a single container are not possible.
The clamp on the secondary administration set must be opened. If the clamp is not opened,
the fluid is delivered from the primary container.
