PCA Therapy
The Moog Curlin Infusion pump is designed to deliver PCA, or Patient Controlled Analagesia,
therapies. It is designed for therapies requiring a continuous rate of infusion, patient controlled
boluses, or both. This chapter covers Moog Curlin Infusion pumps which can be programmed
for PCA-IV, Epidural (EPI) or Subcutaneous (SQ). Programming for each of the three routes of
delivery is very similar, although the default programming ranges are specific to each route (see
table 5.1). When you begin programming a PCA Therapy, the following display screen will appear,
requiring you to enter information needed to program this therapy.
Prescription Menus
PCA Pre-Prescription Menu Screen
These menu items allow you to customize the program to match each individual prescription. The
pump’s default settings are listed in the left screen. Each field is individually explained below.
Note: Some of the lines are abbreviated to fit on the display screen. The full descriptions appear
below.
1. UNITS: Allows you to select from units of mg, mcg, or mL depending on how the
prescription is written. In the PCA-IV therapy, the pump will allow rates as dened in gure 5.1;
therefore, if mg or mcg is selected, the concentration requested in the next eld will determine
the upper and lower programming limits for mg and mcg. Use the NO/CHANGE key until the
desired units appears on the display, and then press the YES/ENTER key to accept and move to
the next eld.
2. CONCEN (Concentration): This field is active whenever mg or mcg is selected in the “Units”
eld and requires data entry of the concentration of mg or mcg per mL. When the correct data is
entered, press YES/ENTER to accept, and move the cursor to the next eld. If mL is chosen in
the “Units” eld, this line will not display. e range for this eld is 0.1 to 999.
