• Press the arrow keys to program the VTBI

(Volume to be infused).
• Press <OK>.

• Press the arrow keys to program the the flow

rate.
• Press <OK>.
Infusion Duration in hours and minutes is
automatically calculated based on flow rate and
VTBI.

Programming an Infusion by Dose Rate
Selecting the Drug Concentration
When infusing Dose Rate in Basic Profil, you have to choose the way you will set
concentration for example:
--mg/mL to set 10mg/mL OR --mg/--mL to set 1000mg/100mL

Range Finite values

• Press the arrow keys to select the concentration.

• Press <OK> to confirm.

Selecting the Patient’s Characteristics

• Press the arrow keys to enter the patient’s

weight or body surface area.
• Press <OK> to confirm.

Programming the Infusion

When using Dose in Basic profile, you must define the unit before setting the dose rate.

• Press the arrow keys to program the VTBI.

• Press <OK> to confirm.

• Press the arrow keys to program the dose.

• Press <OK> to confirm.
The infusion duration (Dur.:) is automatically
calculated based on the VTBI and the dose.
• Press <OK> to confirm infusion settings.

Programming a Loading Dose (if enabled with a compatible DERS software)

• Press <Yes> to program a loading dose prior to

starting the primary infusion.
• Press <no> to return to the programming screen.

Setting up a Loading Dose

• Press the arrow keys to program the dose, and

<OK> to confirm.
• Press the arrow keys to program the loading dose
duration (hh:mm:ss), and <OK> to confirm.
• Press <OK> to confirm the loading dose settings.

• Press <start> to initiate the loading dose.

Page 4
 Interrupting a Loading Dose

• Press <STOP> key.

• Press <no> or <STOP> key to stop the loading
dose and proceed to the programmed primary
infusion.
• Press <start> to continue with the loading dose.

Starting an Infusion

• Before starting the infusion, you can prime the set (patient not connected) by
pressing <BOLUS> key.
• Connect the administration set to the patient’s IV access device using aseptic
technique and according to your healthcare facility policy.

Flow rate Dose Rate

• Press <start> to start the infusion, or <C> to modify the infusion settings.

Functions During Infusion

1. Rate Titration (while infusing)

Flow rate Dose Rate

• Press the arrow keys to modify the flow rate or dose rate.
• Press <OK> to confirm.

2. Stop infusion

• Press <STOP> key: After 2 minutes, an alarm

is generated as a reminder that the infusion is
stopped.
• Confirm or modify settings prior to restarting
the infusion.

There are two ways to deliver a bolus during an infusion:

1. Direct Bolus

• During the infusion, press <BOLUS> key.

• Press <bolus> to confirm access.

• Press and hold <BOLUS>key.

• To stop the bolus, release the <BOLUS> key: The
infusion resumes its previous rate.

2. Programmed Bolus
• Press <BOLUS> key.
• Press <prog>.

Flow rate Dose Rate

• Press the arrow keys to program the bolus volume or dose, and press <OK>.
• Press the arrow keys to program the bolus duration, and press <OK>: The flow
rate is calculated automatically.

Flow rate Dose Rate

• Press <start> to start the bolus.

• After bolus is delivered the infusion resumes its previous rate.

Interrupting a Programmed Bolus

Flow rate Dose

• Press <STOP> key.
• Press <no> to return to the infusion.
• Press <start> to continue the bolus.

 Secondary (Piggyback) Infusions

Connecting the Secondary Line

You can only add a secondary infusion when the primary infusion is delivered by flow
rate. The secondary infusion drug must be programmed by flow rate.

 Primary Line
 Secondary Line

12 inches
(30 cm)

1. Prime the secondary administration set .

2. Lower the primary container  and hang the secondary approximately

12 inches (30 cm) higher than the primary container.
3. Using aseptic technique, connect the secondary line to the upper access port on
the primary line.
4. Press <STOP> key to pause the primary infusion.
Using aseptic technique, connect the secondary line to the upper access port on the
primary line.

Accessing Secondary Infusion

• Press <MENU> key.

• Press the arrow keys to select P/S.
• Press <enter>.

• Press <OK>.

Page 7
Programming Secondary Infusion

• Select a secondary drug and press <OK>.

• Press the arrow keys to program the secondary

VTBI, and press <OK>.
• Press the arrow keys to program the secondary
flow rate and press <OK>.
• Press <OK> to confirm secondary infusion
parameters.

Secondary Infusion Start

• Confirm secondary bag and clamp position.

• Press <start> to start the secondary infusion.

Information:
Pri VI displays the total primary volume infused since it was last cleared.
Sec VI displays the volume infused since the start of the current secondary infusion.

End of Secondary Infusion

• When the secondary infusion is complete, the

return to the programmed primary infusion is
done automatically (short beep) or manually (press
<start> required).
• Ensure that the primary line is open.

Auto-restart
Auto-restart is an optional feature that alters the pump’s response when a
downstream occlusion is detected.
An alert is generated to inform the user that the threshold limit is reached. The
infusion is stopped. When the alert is generated, we recommend checking that the
infusion line is not kinked.
The pressure sensor measures the pressure change
during a configurable period of time:
- If the pressure decrease is significant, the infusion
automatically restarts.
- If the pressure does not decrease, the downstream
occlusion alarm is generated.

Powering off

• Press <STOP> key to stop the infusion.

• Close the roller clamp.
• Press and hold <ON/OFF> key until the pump
powers off.
