Ramp and Taper Mode
The Ramp and Taper Mode is designed to deliver infusions with gradual ramp up
and taper down rates. The pump automatically calculates the rate increase and
decrease required to match the total volume, time and ramp up/ramp down
time parameters. It consists of 3 phases.
•
Ramp phase: the pump rate is linearly increased until it reaches a
predefined rate (plateau rate) in a predefined time (Up-Time)
•
Continuous phase: the plateau rate is used as a continuous infusion
•
Taper phase: the pump rate is decreased linearly after the continuous
phase until the KVO rate is reached or pump is stopped in a predefined
time (Down-Time)
Example:
Ramp and Taper should only be performed by an experienced user that is
familiar with the principles of the Ramp and Taper function and properly trained
in using the present device.
Note:
The active Ramp and Taper function is always symbolised with an
characteristical symbol in the Display (
Note:
Bolus function is disabled for Ramp and Taper Mode.
