Feature Definition—Pump and Syringe Modules
Anesthesia Mode
When operating in Anesthesia Mode, a module can be paused indefinitely without an alarm.
Anesthesia Mode also makes it possible to have additional drugs in each profile, which are
only accessible when operating in that mode. Air-in-line settings can also be adjusted to 50,
75, 125, 175, 250, and 500 microliters (500 microliters - anesthesia mode only).
Bolus Dose
Allows a bolus infusion to be programmed using either drug library or drug
calculation
feature. It can be programmed with or without a Continuous Infusion
following a bolus.
Callback
A callback for a programmed delay (see
Delay Options
on page
155
for a definition) can be
scheduled to give an alert
Before
an infusion is to be initiated,
After
an infusion is
completed,
Before and After
an infusion, or no alert (
None
).
Channel Labels
Available when profiles feature is enabled. It provides a hospital-defined list of labels,
displayed in Channel (module) Message Display, and identifies module with catheter location
or other he
lpful information.
Concentration
Limits
Limits specified for range of concentrations allowed for a particular drug in a profile.
Delay Options
Allows system to be programmed to delay start of an infusion
a)
for up to 120 minutes or
b)
for a specific time up to 23 hours 59 minutes.
Dose Checking
Always Dose Checking option causes an Alert to occur each time a dose limit is exceeded.
Drug label in Message Display provides an indicator
("
↑↑↑
"
or "
LLL
")
that dose is beyond
current soft limit.
Smart Dose Checking option causes an initial soft A
lert to occur when a dose
limit is
exceeded. Subsequent programming beyond dose limit does not receive an Alert. Drug
label in Message Display provides an indicator
("
↑↑↑
" or "LLL") that dose is beyond
current soft limit.
Drug Calculation
Allows:
entry of drug dose for a Continuous Infusion (the s
ystem calculates correct flow rate to
achieve desired dose),
or
entry of flow rate for a Continuous Infusio
n (the s
ystem calculates corresponding drug dose).
Drug Library
When profiles feature is enabled, it provides a hospital-defined list of drugs and
concentrations appropriate for use in as many as 30 profiles. Drug library use automates
programming steps, including drug name, drug amount and diluent volume, and activates
hospital-established best-practice limits. Drug library entries can be delivered as a primary or
secondary, or both, as determined by hospital-health system.
Duration Limits
Hospital-established limits around duration of an Intermittent Infusion.
Dynamic Pressure
Display
Appears on Main Display. If enabled, it graphically displays current patient-side
occlusion
pressure set point and current patient-side operating pressure for that module. (See
Displays
on page
184
and
Dynamic Pressure Display
on page
184
for more information.)
Event Logging
Event Logging records instrument operations.
Initial Value
An optional and editable starting value for Continuous Infusion dose, duration, bolus dose,
bolus rate of administration or bolus dose duration.
