Starting an Intermittent Infusion
The following procedure explains how to program the pump to start a new Intermittent
infusion.
Parameter Description/Notes
VTBI The total amount of fluid to be infused. The remaining VTBI is
displayed on the screen as the infusion progresses. VTBI values can
range from 0.1 to 9999 mL.
Intermittent Dose The amount of each Intermittent Dose. Values can range from 0.1
to 999 mL.
Dose Time The period of time over which the intermittent dose is delivered.
Values can range from 00:01 to 96:00 hh:mm.
Dose Interval The frequency of intermittent dose delivery (Intermittent Dose +
KVO). Intermittent doses can be given as frequently as 5 minutes
apart. Therefore, the minimum programmable Dose Interval is the
Dose time plus 5 minutes. This rule applies even when the KVO
rate is set to 0.
KVO (Keep Vein Open) The rate of fluids delivered between doses, to prevent clotting in
the infusion cannula. The KVO rate can be set from 0 to 20 mL/h.
If relevant, you may skip programming by using the Repeat Last
Infusion or PreSet programs procedures to begin the infusion. For
more information, refer to Starting New Infusions: Shortcuts on
