taken from the Status Menu. These can be checked and reset in the same way
as the other total and intermediate values.

3.3 Drug Library
Up to 1200 drug names including therapy data, information and up to 10 con-
centrations per drug can be stored in 30 categories. These drugs can be subdi-
vided in 50 care units and 16 Patient Profiles. The loading process into the
pump can be performed via a separate PC program (Space Upload Manager &
HiBaSeD).
Note: The drug library can be started over the Start Up and Special Functions
Menu. The user has to make sure prior to the therapy start that the drug library
in the pump complies with the patient target group. The name of the care unit
and creation date (see headline) should be checked in the pump.
There are different ways assigning a drug to an infusion. This can be done while
the infusion is running or when the pump is stopped.
On the one hand, a drug name including the according therapy data can be
taken from the drug library. On the other hand, if a rate, VTBI and/or time were
already defined in the Main Menu, the drug name and the adjusted values of
the data set will be loaded. If a dose rate calculation has already been started a
belated assignment of the drug name nevertheless is possible.
