attaching administration set to patient minimizes
any potential bolus that can be released from
pressure built up in set due to normal syringe
loading and priming.
NOTES:
The facility can choose to prepopulate standard drug

concentrations, or leave a custom concentration (_ _ / _ _ mL)
and allow the clinician to enter the desired concentration.
Patient weight or BSA is not editable during an Intermittent

Infusion.
Once a patient weight or BSA is entered and the infusion

started, the patient weight or BSA is automatically entered for
any additional weight-based or BSA calculation. Prior to the
start of an intermittent infusion, the patient weight or BSA
remains an editable field so that patient weight or BSA can be
adjusted for any module. Changing the patient weight or BSA
on one module will not affect the patient weight or BSA on any
other module.
NOTE:
It is possible to program an infusion with a rate that is
displayed with two decimal places (one-hundredth of a mL per
hour) on the PC unit for the Pump module. However, due to
space limitations on the Pump module rate display, the rate
is displayed to the nearest one-tenth of a mL per hour on the
Pump module. This value is only used for display purposes
and the Pump module is actually infusing at the more precise
rate noted on the PC unit.
