Function
The Rate button displays the rate at which heparin is dispensed during
treatment. It can be set from 0.0 to 9.9 ml/hour.
The Infusion Time button displays the amount of time in hours and
minutes that the heparin pump will deliver heparin. The program time
can be set from 0 to 9:59. For the heparin pump to stop at a desired
time automatically, the operator must set an Infusion Time. When the
heparin pump is On, this time will count down to 0:00 and stop heparin
delivery. Infusion Time can be set to zero only when the heparin
pump is Off.
The Total Infused button displays the current total amount of heparin
delivered up to 45.7 ml (including the bolus). Total Infused can be
reset to 0 with the numeric keypad or arrow keys and pressing the
CONFIRM key when the Heparin pump is Off.
The amount of heparin to be delivered as a bolus infusion is entered
here. The heparin pump delivers the bolus infusion at a rate of about
0.17 ml/sec (1 ml/6 seconds) for a 10 cc syringe. This amount can be
set from 0.0 to 9.9 ml. During delivery, the Bolus amount is added to
the amount shown in the Total Infused button.
The Syringe button opens a menu listing various syringe types. The
operator selects the syringe matching the one that will be used during
treatment.
The Infuse Bolus button activates the heparin delivery system to
administer the amount of heparin displayed in the Bolus button. Once
activated, the actual delivery is accomplished by pressing CONFIRM.
Afterwards, the heparin pump will infuse heparin at the rate displayed
in the Rate button.
Touching the Load Syringe button, followed by the CONFIRM key,
fully retracts the heparin pump carriage to allow the mounting of the
syringe in the pump. Pressing the Escape key will stop the travel of
the carriage.
The Heparin Prime button initiates a process to fill the Heparin line.
Once a syringe is mounted in the pump, press the Heparin Prime
button, followed by the CONFIRM key. The syringe plunger is pushed
upward into the barrel while the CONFIRM key is pressed.
