Section 2: Pump Setup and Programming
KVO Rate
The KVO or "Keep Vein Open" rate is optional. It allows the delivery of a
medication to help maintain catheter patency. The programming range is 0 to
125 ml/hr. If the time the next Dose Starts in is programmed, the KVO rate is
active during the initial delay. The KVO rate is also active between doses.
Dose Remaining
The Dose Remaining screen is displayed during dosing or if a dose was
interrupted. This screen displays the time in hours and minutes that are
required to infuse the remaining portion of the dose.
NOTE: If the dose is interrupted and the pump is stopped, both the Dose
Remaining and "Dose Starts in" screens will be displayed in the programming
screens. When the pump is restarted, the remainder of the interrupted dose
will be delivered. If a full dose needs to be delivered, the "Dose Starts In" screen
must be reprogrammed before starting the pump. The user should always
review all of the programming screens to verify when the pump is within the
dosing cycle. The "Dose Starts in" screen, shown with "— hrs — min," allows
the user to reset the time after which the dose should start.
Dose Starts in
The "Dose Starts in" screen allows you to delay the start of delivery up to
4 days by allowing you to select the amount of time after which the first
dose should begin. The pump must be running after the selected delay in
order for delivery to begin. If a delayed start is not desired, program the
Dose Starts in to "Immediate" so that delivery will begin as soon as you
start the pump.
The delay of the start of the next dose can be programmed in Lock
Level 0 or Lock Level 1 at any time, but if a dose is in progress, this will
cancel the remainder of the dose.
Given
This screen shows the total amount of medication delivered since the last
time this value was cleared. The amount shown is rounded to the near-
est 0.01 ml. If this value reaches 99999.95, it automatically returns to 0
and continues counting. The Given amount does not include medication
delivered with the priming feature.
