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 pre-populate standard drug

concentrations, or leave a custom concentration (_ _ / _ _ mL)
and allow the clinician to enter the desired concentration.
Patient weight can be edited during a Continuous Infusion.

Once a patient weight is entered and an infusion is started for

any module, the patient weight is automatically entered for any
additional weight-based calculation. The patient weight
remains an editable field, therefore patient weight can be
adjusted for any module. Changing the patient weight on one
module does not affect the patient weight 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.
A Bolus Dose can be programmed at the beginning of, or
during, a continuous infusion. The drug being programmed
must be a bolusable drug selected from the Drug Library or a
non-library drug, as described in the following

procedures.
1. Set up infusion as described in "Continuous Infusion"
procedure, but do not start infusion.
