Introduction
The following guide provides guidance to help you when programming the APO-go MARK III PUMP, including helpful
diagrams of what the screen should show at each step.
The APO-go MARK III PUMP has two available programming modes: APo1 and APo3. The APo1 mode is used for a single
flow rate, whereas APo3 allows the programming of four different flow rates, for variable flow rate. The different
functionalities and a brief explanation of these is included below.

Functionality
Locking/unlocking
The APO-go PUMP can be locked and unlocked by a healthcare professional (HCP) or carer, preventing a patient from
changing their dose, against their prescriber’s advice. Whilst locked the patient can start/stop/pause an infusion whenever
they need to and also administer the set bolus dose.
Bolus dose function
The APO-go PUMP has a bolus dose function, which allows HCPs to programme a dose for patients to administer whenever
they require.
Variable flow rate
The variable flow rate function on the APO-go PUMP allows four separate flow rates to be programmed and assigned to each
hour of the day. One of the four flow rates is 0.00 for times when a break in infusion is required.
Bolus dose lockout time
Once the bolus dose has been set, the HCP may specify a time limit between bolus doses, locking the bolus dose feature
during this timeframe and avoiding multiple bolus doses being administered in short periods of time.
