PCA Lockout
A PCA lockout is a program setting that specifies

between the start of each PCA dose. If the patient
attempts to deliver a PCA dose during the lockout
time, “PCA dose not available. Currently locked
out.” will appear on the display and the pump will
not deliver the dose. The parameters for the PCA

PCA Dose
A PCA dose is a bolus of drug delivered by the

NOTE: If a remote dose cord is attached to the
pump, the PCA dose @ key on the keypad will be
inactive.
If the CADD

-Solis system administrator has
programmed a PCA dose into the protocol, the
patient may start a PCA dose while the pump is
running. The amount delivered is added to the
amount provided by the continuous rate. Each time
the patient requests a PCA dose, the pump will
automatically add it to the dose counters screen.
