Tpn Infusion - CME BodyGuard 121 Twins Operator's Manual

TPN Infusion

Total Parenteral Nutrition - This mode delivers an infusion while automatically tapering up and down. The
pattern of the program is a trapezoid.
Max Rate
On a TPN Program the operator may set the total volume which corresponds to the size of the bag to be
infused, the total time, and the up and down time. Program operation will start from 2 ml/h and will
increase to the maximal rate. During the flat session (T2) the rate will not change. During the last part of
the program (T3), the program will start to decrease the infusion rate according to the set taper down time.
Up and down time can be set to zero. A TPN program with up and down time set to zero, is a continuous
program.

NOTE:
Before operating the pump in TPN program, make sure that the IV bag contains an
additional 5 ml to total volume to be infused. This ensures adequate volume for KVO during
End Program. If Delay Before Start is set, you must include enough volume for the delay period
in addition to the 5 ml KVO volume.
