Programming Parameters

The PCA module uses the following programming parameters,
depending on infusion mode selected. See "General
Information," "Features and Definitions" for infusion mode
definitions and features.
• PCA Dose: patient self-administered dose.
• Lockout Interval: programmed time elapse between
availability of PCA doses.
• Continuous Dose: basal rate dose.
• Max Limit: (optional) total amount of drug which can be
infused over a specified time period.
• Loading Dose: (optional) Bolus Dose infused prior to
initiation of PCA infusion.
• Bolus Dose: (optional) additional dose programmed after
initiation of PCA infusion.
When the PC unit is in the Infusion Mode Selection, Infusion
Setup or Bolus Setup screens, a patient dose request from the
Dose Request Cord is handled as an unmet demand.
