8.2 Dose Mode
Dose mode allows you to specify the drug amount, diluent volume or concentration for
a therapy. Dose mode is typically used for body weight drugs.
Rate and time are automatically calculated according to the following formulas:
■ Rate = Dose Rate* Weight/Conc.
■ Time = VTBI/Rate
■ Conc. = Drug Amt. /Volume
You can change the concentration parameters (Drug Amt., Volume or Conc.) and
weight unit as needed. See 11 Password Protected Settings.
You can change the units of drug amount, dose rate, and concentration before starting
an infusion or when the infusion is paused. To do so, select the corresponding unit of
Drug Amt., Dose Rate or Conc., and reconfigure in the popup dialog.
NOTE
• Rate and time can only be obtained by calculation. They are not available for
manual input.
• In the dose mode, the supported dose rate units are X/kg/min, X/kg/h, and X/
kg/24h, in which X represents ng, ug, mg, g, mU, U, kU, EU, mmol, mol, mcal,
cal, kcal, and mEq.
• Some departments may use fixed drug amounts, diluent volumes, or
concentrations. Using the drug info library to predefine these infusion
parameters can simplify the setting process.
8.3 Loading Dose Mode
In the loading dose mode, an infusion is divided into two stages:
■ Deliver the loading dose at the loading dose.
■ Deliver the remaining volume (VTBI minus Loading Dose) at the primary rate.
