MediGuard® Option
MediGuard® option enables the medical staff to control the maximal rate of drugs
approved to a specific patient based on the patient's weight.
To enable this option, enter "Change Set Up" option and scroll to Program Limits.
Press start/ok to access and set MediGuard® on. Press
key to approve.
When MediGuard® option is on, the user will be required to set the maximal
approved MediGuard® rate. Maximal MediGuard® rate will be defined as ml (mg,
microgram)/hour per 1 kg. of patient weight
When selecting a protocol, either by Select Protocol or by Modify Protocol, the user
will be required to set the patient weight in kg. The software will calculate the
maximal rate allowed for the specific patient based on his weight (multiplied by the
maximal MediGuard® rate). The calculated values will be displayed as "drug limit"
in program accumulation screen and during program operation.
Setting a protocol based on basal rate when the bolus is set to zero
Pump will enable program operation only if the basal rate set is equal or less than
maximal MediGuard® rate (If rate is out of limits, pressing start/ok from
accumulation screen will display "drug limit overflow" message). In case the
program basal rate is less than MediGuard® maximal allowed rate, the pump will
count the difference between the two different rates. The difference between the
actual rate and the maximal MediGuard® rate will be stored in a buffer called
"credit buffer ".
Maximum volume saved in the credit buffer is volume of 10
minutes delivery of the MediGuard® maximal rate. The credit is used to enable
delivering of clinician bolus. If Clinician bolus volume is less than the volume in the
buffer, the bolus will be delivered at maximal bolus rate. If Clinician bolus volume is
higher than the volume in the buffer, the volume in the buffer will be delivered at
maximal bolus rate and the remaining bolus volume will be delivered at
MediGuard® maximal rate (if there is no volume in the credit buffer all bolus will be
delivered at MediGuard® maximal rate).
