be calculated and displayed at the bottom of the display.
a Check the calculated rate and if necessary the adapted parameters with
t on plausibility before starting the infusion with sf.
Dose can later be changed in the Main Menu in the same way as the rate, VTBI
and time (compare 2.2). During TCI mode after a syringe change, the concentra-
tion can only be changed in Main Menu. The effect of dose modifications on
other parameters is shown at the bottom of the display. Additionally the total
and intermediate amount of the infused drug can be taken from the Status
Menu. These can be checked and resetted in the same way as the other total
and intermediate values.
A deactivation of the dose rate calculation is only possible when the pump is
stopped. Press
c from Main Menu and then press d.
Caution: A change of the patient weight or height will alter the flow rate.
3.3 Drug Library
Up to 1200 drug names including therapy data, information and up to 10
concentrations per drug can be stored in 30 categories. These drugs can be
subdivided 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 of assigning a drug to an infusion. This can be done
while the infusion is running or when the pump is stopped.
