• If the programmed parameters are outside the soft limit, an audio al
ert sounds and a visual prompt
appears before programming can continue. If

the
No soft key is pressed, infusion must be reprogrammed.
• If the programmed parameters are outside the hard limit for that care area
, an audio alert sounds
and a visual prompt appears before programming can continue. Infusion must be reprogrammed.
• If there is a potential for a programmed “_ _ / _ _ mL” parameter to result in an excessive volume
or dose
being delivered, following prompt appears:
Cannot proceed due to incorrect concentration or dosing parameters. Remove syringe, verify
concentration, and reprogram.
The prompt can be (a) the result of an incorrect drug amount and/or diluent volume entry, or
(b) can occur if hospital-established Guardrails limits are very wide. Be sure to enter either a
drug amount per 1 mL or total drug amount per total volume—for example, a 30 mL syringe
with a concentration of 1 mg/1 mL can be entered in one of two ways:
Drug Amount 1 mg
Diluent Volume 1 mL
or
Drug Amount 30 mg
Diluent Volume 30 mL
• If a soft limit is overridden,
G icon is displayed. When G soft key is pressed, all applicable out-of-
range limits are listed.
