7 – Access Codes & Keypad Lock
User Access Codes
The T34L
TM
employs three levels of user access protection to prevent unauthorized changes to the set up
or configuration. Although no access code is required to turn the pump on and run an infusion certain
settings and features may have been configured and locked as appropriate to the clinical application the
Pump is being used for in your practice.
Placing these settings in a secure area of the pumps menus also simplifies operation of the pump as
everyday users are not required to repeatedly confirm or change common set up parameters whilst setting
up a simple infusion regime.
‘Change Set Up’ mode (see later section) contains configurable settings and features and is protected by
a user code from un-authorized access.
‘Technicians Menu’, used for service and/or repair of the Pump, is also protected by a special access
procedure and different user code from that for ‘Change Set Up’.
In normal use the nurse will not see these fields or be prompted for the technician codes.
Keypad Lock
As well as the ability to lock or limit certain infusion parameters or pump settings, T34L
TM
allows users to
lock the operation of the keypad if concerned about patients, relatives or un-trained personnel tampering
with the pump. To active the Keypad Lock: -
With the pump infusing, press and hold the INFO key until a
chart is displayed showing a bar moving from left (OFF) to
right (ON).
Hold the key until the bar has moved completely across the
screen and a beep is heard to confirm the lock has been
activated.
To turn the lock off repeat this procedure. The bar will now move from right (ON) to left (OFF)
and a beep will be heard to confirm de-activation.
NOTE: for safety reasons the keypad lock does not affect the operation of the START or STOP
keys as users or patients unaware of how to deactivate the lock may need to STOP an infusion
in an emergency and/or re-start the infusion (e.g. after clearing an alarm).
