SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
• Select the desired drug with t and press l.
Before the initial bolus begins, the bolus menu is displayed to allow editing
the bolus with
q.
• Check the parameter and start infusion with
sf.
Hard Limits:
If the set rate/dose/bolus volume and bolus rate exceed the values stored in the
drug library (hard limits), the drug will be rejected, a hint will be displayed and
the pump will fall back into the drug selection. If this occurs while the pump is
infusing the pump will continue to administrate.
Soft Limits:
For the same parameters so called soft limits can be preset via the Drug List
Editor. These can be exceeded without any constraint. The following symbols
that describe the status with regard to the soft limits are being displayed:
The infusion is within the range of the minimum and maximum
soft limits =
The infusion is within the range of the maximum soft limit =
The infusion is within the range of the minimum soft limit =
Violation of the upper soft limit =
Violation of the lower soft limit =
No soft limit is defined =
Only a drug name is available =
(It is possible to select a drug name only from the drug library)
The limits of the drug library have to comply with the limits of the pump and
the disposable.
Note: An adequate monitoring when infusing highly potent drugs is
recommended.
Note: In case a drug from the drug library is selected and the pump is running
under dose rate calculation the initial values will be overwritten by the drug
library values if selected.
