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. Setting the rate to 0.0
turns off the heparin pump.
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 by the heparin pump (including the bolus). Total Infused can be
reset to 0 with the Keyboard 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.
Selecting 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, select the Heparin Prime button,
and then press the CONFIRM key. The syringe plunger is pushed
upward into the barrel while the CONFIRM key is pressed.
The optional Heparin Dwell button (enabled in Service Mode) acts as a
five minute timer after a manual heparin bolus is administered. To use
the timer, select the Heparin Dwell button and press the CONFIRM key.
This will cause the Status Light above the 2008T display screen to flash
yellow at half-second intervals for five minutes while the heparin is
dwelling. After the five minutes has elapsed, the Status Box will display
the message, "Heparin Dwell Complete," and the Status Light will turn
green and continue to flash until the operator presses the RESET key.
