NOTE:
If the duration of the programmed infusion is less than or equal to the configured limit set in the
Guardrails Editor, the NEOI alarm will occur at the start of the infusion.
Feature Definition—Syringe Module
All Mode
When
ALL
is selected as the volume to be infused (VTBI), the entire contents of syringe is
delivered.
Auto Pressure
When enabled and a pressure sensing disc is in use, Auto Pressure option
is displayed in
Pressure Limit screen. Auto Pressure automatically sets alarm limit for a shorter time to alarm,
as follows:
• If current pressure is 100 mmHg or less,
system adds 30 mmHg to current pressure to
create a new alarm limit.
• If current pressure is greater than 100 mmHg, system adds 30% to current pressure to create
a new alarm limit.
Auto Pressure
Limit Adjustment
When a bolus is delivered, pressure alarm limits are temporarily raised to maximum limit.
Auto Syringe Size
Identification
System automatically detects syringe size and narrows down syringe selection list.
Back Off
This feature is only available when administration set in use has a pressure
sensing disc.
When enabled, motor reverses plunger movement during an occlusion until pressure returns to
preocclusion levels, automatically reducing bolus flow.
Fast Start
When Fast Start is enabled and an administration set having a pressure sensing disc is used,
instrument runs at an increased rate when an infusion is first started, taking up any slack in
drive mechanism.
Infusion Complete
An alert is given when current infusion is complete and VTBI has reached zero.
KVO
If enabled, allows continuous infusions to automatically switch into KVO mode upon
completion. KVO option setting cannot be changed after instrument is powered on and a
profile selected.
Near End of
Infusion (NEOI)
Allows an alarm to be configured to sound anywhere from 1 to 60 minutes prior to the end of
the infusion. The NEOI alarm can be configured separately between continuous type infusions
and intermittent infusions. A separate alert time can be set for continuous and intermittent
infusions.
