Advanced Programs
NOTE: During programming, user must identify desired drug
with softkey Drug List prior to setting program parameters.
Use drug manufacturer recommendations for IV administration
when using the Plum A+ infuser.
Standard
Program
(Dose Calculation)
Allows programming Dose Rates in alternative
units of measure. Dose Calculation can be used
in Simple Delivery, Loading Dose, and
Multistep.
Loading
Dose
Allows programming of an initial infusion rate
for a specific volume, followed automatically by
a maintenance rate from the same container
(e.g., a fluid challenge).
If Dose Calc is used, the Loading Dose and
Maintenance Dose are in the same unit of
measure, over the same period of time
(mcg/min), from the same container.
Multistep
Allows a sequential program to deliver up to 10
steps; fluid volumes and delivery rates may be
programmed for each step. The program may
be entered based on Rate and Volume or
Volume and Time. If Dose Calc is used, the
delivery steps are in the same unit of measure,
over the same period of time, from the same
container.
