Automatic Bolus Rate Adjustment - CME BodyGuard 545 Color Vision Directions For Use Manual

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
maximal allowed rate, the pump will count the difference between the two different rates.
The difference between the actual rate and the maximal MediGuard
in a buffer called "credit buffer ". Maximum volume saved in the credit buffer is volume
of 10 minutes delivery of the MediGuard
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
TM maximal rate).

Setting a protocol based on a combination of boluses and
basal rate (or only boluses)
Pump will enable program operation only if the basal rate set is equal or less than
maximal 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
in the credit buffer. As program begins, the credit buffer will automatically include
volume for one bolus. Maximum volume saved in the credit buffer is bolus volume. The
credit buffer enables delivery of patient and clinician boluses. When a bolus is required
(either by patient or by clinician): if the bolus volume is less than the volume in the
buffer, the bolus will be delivered at maximal bolus rate; if the 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

Automatic Bolus Rate Adjustment

The BodyGuard 545 Color Vision™ has a special feature which optimizes bolus rate
during infusion through narrow catheters such as Epidural catheters. The pump will
attempt to deliver the bolus at the pre-set bolus delivery rate. If the pump senses back
pressure above the pre-set occlusion pressure level during bolus delivery it will
automatically reduce the bolus delivery speed until it senses a pressure below the level
at which an occlusion alarm would normally sound. If it still senses an occlusion
pressure above this level at the minimum bolus delivery rate the pump will then alarm
