Programming an Infusion (Continued)
NOTES:
If the programmed "_ _ / _ _ mL" concentration is outside
the Soft Limit, an audio alert sounds and a visual prompt
appears before programming can continue. If the Yes soft
key is pressed, programming continues; if the No soft key is
pressed, the infusion must be reprogrammed.
If the programmed "_ _ / _ _ mL" concentration is outside the
Hard Limit for that care area, an audio alert sounds and a

If a Soft Limit is overridden, the G icon displays. When the G
soft key is pressed, all applicable out-of-range limits are listed.
