Drug Calculator Dialog Calculators
22 - 12 V Series Operating Instructions
22.6.2.7 Infusion Rate Requirements
• The infusion rate can either be entered manually or calculated.
• The drug calculation software checks for invalid or out of range entries for manually entered
values.
• The drug calculation software calculates the infusion rate provided all of the following
information is available: drug name, patient weight (if chosen drug is weight-based), drug
amount, solution volume, and dosage.
• When calculating the infusion rate, the drug calculation software checks for overflow and
underflow and displays it as invalid data in either of these cases.
• The infusion rate defaults to Unspecified.
• If the drug amount units unit family changes when the drug name selected is Drug A, B, C, or D,
then the infusion rate changes to Unspecified.
22.6.2.8 Concentration Requirements
• The unit of measure for concentration will be one of the following depending on the selected
drug dose units: mcg/ml, mg/ml, g/ml, units/ml, or mU/mL.
• The drug calculation software computes the calculation value provided all of the following
information is available: drug name, drug amount, and solution volume.
• The concentration value is automatically recalculated if the drug amount or solution volume is
changed.
• When computing the calculation value, the drug calculation software checks for overflow and
underflow and displays it as invalid data in either of these cases.
• The concentration value defaults to blank.
• If the drug amount units unit family changes when the drug name selected is Drug A, B, C, or D,
then the concentration value is blank.
22.6.3 Previous Drug Calculations
Previous drug calculations are stored in the calculator and can be viewed in the calculator and the
titration table.
• Up to five previous calculations are stored in the drug calculator list.
• The drug calculation list includes the generic drug name, trade drug name, date of the last
calculation for the drug, and time of the last calculation for the drug.
• A blue cursor highlights the current drug in the Previous Calculations list.
• If a drug calculation from the Previous Calculations list is edited, the timestamp and date is
updated.
• If a calculation for a new drug occurs when the Previous Calculations list is full, the oldest
calculation from the list is automatically removed to accommodate the newer calculation.
• When the cursor is moved through the Previous Calculations list while viewing the Titration table,
the titration table updates to the selected drug in the list.
