Performing drug calculations
You can either select drugs from a pre-configured
drug list (see page 192) or enter drugs manually to
compute the desired dose and rate values.
To perform a drug calculation
In the following steps, the letters in parentheses
correspond to the diagram for the Drug
calculation page (see page 191).
1 Access the Drug calculation page (see
page 191).
2 Select the arrow key (B) to activate the drug list
containing pre-configured drugs.
3 Select the desired drug. The pre-configured
values for amount, dose, and units show up in
the corresponding buttons.
4 Add the other infusion parameters such as Rate
by selecting the corresponding button and
entering the values on the keypad.
5 Select Enter on the keypad to confirm your
selection.
Customized drug list
Customizing a drug list requires a clinical
password. The drug list contains up to 40 drugs
with the following pre-configured settings: the
name, amount, volume, dose, and unit of
measurement. Once configured, a drug and its
settings are stored as defaults and become
available for selection in the Drug calculation
page (see page 191).
The drug list also contains four untitled drugs which
are available if the pre-configured drugs do not
meet the current drug calculation needs. These
drugs are place holders for generic drug dosage
calculations.
NOTE
When performing drug calculations, and the dose
includes micrograms, a dose precision of 0.01
does not allow a measurement that can be used
when rate is used to calculate the dose.
