Chapter 12: Drug Calculator
12-4 VS2000 Vital Signs Monitor Operation Manual
The user can enter at least three known items according to the calculation
requirements. The drug calculator will automatically calculate using the
default equations.
All fields are initially displayed as 0.00 and can be filled with value. After the
user inputs the known item, the drug calculator will begin calculating and
the result will be displayed in real time. The calculation result is then locked.
The user can only modify the entered value. To put in 0.00 will cancel the
entry.
Pressing the Reset button will return user to the initial status of the entry.
d) Performing calculations for a non-specific drug
When the drug selection is any drug, the drug calculator only provides the
calculation for the infusion liquid. No application range is prompted for the
dose or concentration.
Enter three values: patient weight, drug unit, time unit.
Enter the drug information into corresponding fields, press OK button and
the drug calculator automatically calculates relevant value.
e) Performing calculation for a specific drug
The drug calculator has been preset to do calculations for more than ten
types of general drugs, e.g. Aminophylline and Amrinone Lactate (see Drug
Dosage Range Limitation Table). Once a drug name is selected, the drug’s
relevant value such as concentration, total drug amount, dosage/min will
have corresponding limitation ranges. When any information entered or any
calculation result is out of range, the drug calculator will show it in red
color.
The drug dosage over range prompted from the drug calculator can only
warn the user to pay attention to apply appropriate dosage of the current
drug. The final infusion dosage and infusion process should be determined
by the physician in charge.
