Features and Displays (Continued)
Enables a patient to self-administer a bolus infusion to be delivered
at programmed lockout intervals through Dose Request Cord. When
programmed in PCA+continuous mode, Continuous Infusion resumes
following PCA dose.
An optional and hospital-configurable feature intended to align with
hospital/health system's current protocol for patient monitoring during PCA
therapy. When enabled, PCA infusion pauses and alarms when defined
monitoring values (% SpO
EtCO module are exceeded and sustained.

Downstream occlusion alarm threshold can be set to low, medium, or high.
Syringe variability might impact occlusion pressure sensing. Variability
can reduce device's time to alarm and/or can require that a higher alarm
pressure limit be programmed.
Allows a limited volume of fluid to be delivered in order to prime
administration set prior to being connected to a patient or after changing
a syringe. When priming, a single continuous press of
delivers up to 2 mL of priming/fluid.
To simplify programming, can be used to recall previous PCA programming
parameters for same patient. This option is only available if patient is not
new and system is powered up within 8 hours of last usage.
Profile-specific security access level can be configured to provide varying
levels of access to device. Security access is accomplished either through
use of key or a 4-digit authorization code.
For security level information, see "Programming," "Infusion Modes,"
"Security Access Levels."
Four-character code assigned to allow access to PC unit for setting Bolus
Doses and subsequent programming changes. Ability to use Profile-
specific code is dependent upon configured Security Access Level.
Instrument gives an alert and stops when an empty syringe is detected.
System automatically detects fluid volume in a syringe when it is inserted.
