Arithmetic logic:
An alternative method for entering and titrating values uses arithmetic logic:
ENTERING VALUES
Pressing the Up arrow u one time in the
“ones” place increases the value to 10.5
Pressing the Down arrow button d from
the “ones” place decreases the value to
9.5
Pressing the Up arrow button u from the
“ones” place 2 times increases the value to
11.5
Hard Limits:
The editor function keeps the displayed values between the minimum and maximum
hard limits for the selected infusion parameter. This can be either general pump limits
or drug specific limits defined in the drug library. In case an increase of a value would
exceed a hard limit, the pump displays the highest acceptable value presuming the
user wanted a maximum value.
Example: Assume the selected drug has
a hard limit set at 15 mcg/kg/h.
Trying to titrate from 9.5 to 19.5. Press the Left button
l to move the cursor to the
“tens” place.
Press the Up button u in order to incre-
ment to 19.5. As 19.5 is above the limit,
the value displayed is 15, as the hard limit
is the highest acceptable value.
