new protocol.
NOTE: When starting a new protocol, be sure to

Prime Tubing

Priming the tubing is done to fill the tubing
downstream of the pump with fluid, removing any
air bubbles. Prime the tubing before connecting it to
the patient's infusion set or indwelling catheter. The
pump must be stopped and you'll need the keypad
code (or a higher level code) or the cassette/keypad
lock must be unlocked.
NOTE: The air detector is disabled while the pump
is priming.
WARNING: Do not prime the fluid path with
the tubing connected to a patient as this could
result in overdelivery of medication or air
embolism, which could result in serious patient
injury or death.
To prime the tubing:
1. From the Tasks menu,
press U or D until
Prime Tubing is
Press here to select
highlighted and press
S.

the pump key.

Prime.
You may stop priming
at any time by selecting
Stop Priming. Otherwise
priming will automatically
