Operation method:
In the medicine calculation window, operators should firstly select names of the medicines to be
calculated, and then confirm patient weight, and input other known values. Subsequently,
operators move the cursor to the various calculation items in the calculation formulae, press the
knob and rotate it, so as to select the calculation value. After the calculation value is selected,
value of the items to be calculated will be displayed at the corresponding position. Values for each
calculation item have their limits, if the calculated results exceed such limits, the system will
display “---.--”.
Caution
Under this medicine calculation function, other menu items are available for input only
after operators input patient weight and medicine names. The values firstly given in the
system are only a random group of initial values, and operators should not take such
values as calculation standard, instead, should re-input a group of values suitable for
the current patient, based on the comments by doctors.
Caution
Each kind of medicine is subject with fixed units or unit series, and operators must
select proper unit based on comments by doctors. Under the same unit series,
numbering system of the units will be automatically adjusted with the current input
values, and when the input value exceed out of expression of the relevant unit, the
system will display “---”.
Caution
After operators input a certain value, the system will give a clear reminder in the menu,
reminding operators to check correctness of the inputted value; only inputted values are
guaranteed to be correct, the calculated values will be reliable and safe.
Caution
In case of newborns, dropping speed and volume of an infusion drop make no sense.
Caution
The system gives a reminder for each inputted value, asking operators to confirm.
Operators must be serious with every such reminder, as only valid and correct inputs
can get reliable calculation results.
