Associating PCU with Patient ID While Infusion is in Progress
You can associate the PCU with a patient ID when the patient ID screen is not shown.
1. Attach auto-ID handheld scanner to connection port on auto-ID module. Ensure a secure ci
rcuit
connection.
The green READY indicator illuminates, indicating the system is ready to scan.
2. To scan barcode on patient identification band, press scan trigger on auto-ID handheld scanner.
If scan is successful, an audible tone sounds and patient ID appears on Main Display.
NOTE:
Patient ID can be entered manually using the PCU keypad (see Patient ID Entry Feature on page 25).
NOTE:
There is a prompt to accept or decline the change
of patient ID if it is different from the patient ID already
associated to the PCU.
Authorized User Mode
Authorized User Mode is a feature that:
• Combines PCU tamper resist feature with auto-ID application.
• Is designed to ensure that only c
linicians with a barc
ode on their ID badge can program the system.
• Is available only if it is enabled in selected profile and there is an auto-ID module attached.
When this feature is enabled, the PCU automatically enables
the tamper resist mode upon power on and
5 minutes after programming is completed. If the
system is configured to do so, the authorized user mode
can be disabled without scanning a clinician's ID; press and hold the tamper resist switch (on back of PCU)
for 3 - 4 seconds.
To unlock the keypad, the user must scan their ID badge or use the
OPTIONS menu to manually input their
ID number. When a questionable barcode is scanned at the main screen and the keypad is unlocked, a
prompt to confirm the type of barcode scanned appears. This occurs whether the authorized user mode is
enabled or disabled.
To use the system with authorized user mo
de enabled:
1. Power on system and associate patient ID (see P
atient Identification on page 311 for the specific
procedure).
Upon successful entry of patient ID, PCU automatica
lly enables tamper resist feature.
2. To disable tamper resist, press
SCAN/CANCEL key on the auto-ID module or the SCAN trigger on auto-
ID handheld scanner and scan clinician ID badge.
In a very low battery condition, with less than 5 minutes of battery
time remaining, auto-ID handheld
scanner is disabled. In this situation, disable tamper resist by pressing tamper resist switch on back of
PCU for approximately 2 seconds.
• CLASS 1 LED PRODUCT: Do not stare into the beam or allow beam to strike patient's face.
• Always verify that information displayed on the PCU matches scanned data.
