It occurs when the pump is not delivering a bolus. The basal flow rate is adjustable and has units of milliliters per hour (ml/hr). BOLUS: A volume of medication infused over a relatively short period of time. The bolus is infused at the bolus flow rate. A bolus is delivered when a patient requests it by pushing the BOLUS button.

Se ct i on 1 • In tr o d uctio n The pump will warm from the minimum storage/transportation temperature to room temperature (about 20ºC [68ºF]) in approximately 30 minutes. The pump will cool to room temperature from the maximum storage/transportation temperature in about 35 minutes. Operating conditions: +5ºC to +40ºC (+41ºF to +104ºF); relative humidity range of 15% to 93%, non-condensing; and an atmospheric pressure of 700 hPa to 1060 hPa (10.2 psi to 15.4 psi).
Se c t io n 1 • I n tr od u c t io n Before starting therapy, check that all connections are secure and that there are no leaks in the fluid path. After the infusion is finished, the pump will give the infusion complete alarm and continue infusing at a KVO rate. The rate is dependent on the basal rate programmed. If the basal rate is 0.5ml/hr or greater, the KVO will be 0.5 ml/hr.
This patient- specific information should be relied upon to decide if the pump should be used to infuse any medication into any part of the patient’s body. The distributors and Avanos Medical, Inc. can only provide general guidelines regarding the set up and programming of the pump. They may also provide journal articles referring to applications. They are neither qualified nor permitted to provide specific recommendations for treating any specific patient. In general, to avoid complications, use the lowest flow rate, volume and drug concentration required to produce the desired result.
Se c t io n 1 • I n tr od u c t io n NOTE: The ambIT PreSet 1.5 pump has a limited life of 2,000 ml total infusion. Once ® 2,000 ml has been reached, the pump will continue to infuse uninterrupted as programmed, until the current infusion program is complete.
Page 14
Se ct i on 1 • In tr o d uctio n The settings for Figure 1-2 are a bolus volume of 10 ml and a lockout time of 30 minutes. After a bolus is requested and delivered, a lockout time begins. A bolus is delivered only when the BOLUS button is pressed.
Contact Avanos Medical, Inc. to obtain a complete list of cassettes. Accessories such as MediBag™ solution containers and carrying pouches may be added as required by the therapy. Contact Avanos Medical, Inc. to obtain a complete listing of all optional accessories.
The ambIT PreSet v1.5 requires the use of an ambIT cassette. Use of cassettes ® ® not manufactured by Avanos Medical, Inc. may cause the pump to malfunction and may cause an over-infusion or an under-infusion. NOTE: If an ambIT cassette already has a filter, it is not recommended to use a separate ®...

S e c ti o n 2 • S et U p CAUTION: Verify that all connections are secure, all clamps are opened, and that there are no leaks in the fluid path before starting therapy. If the filled solution container is not going to be used immediately, clamp the tubing and cap the connector with the protective cap provided to prevent contamination. Always verify that the cassette bottom disc is snapped closed before attaching the cassette to the pump.

Failure to do so will cause the pump to alarm when the pump attempts to infuse medication. 2.7 B attery Installation and Replacement The pump is powered by two (2) AA 1.5V batteries. NOTE: Avanos Medical, Inc. has not validated all types of batteries (non-alkaline, rechargeable, specific brands, previously-used, etc.); therefore, we cannot ensure that any specific battery will power the pump for a specific period of time. The...
NOTE: Avanos Medical, Inc. recommends that the batteries be changed at the end of each session or when the low battery alarm occurs. The pump memory is designed to retain program settings and infusion history for up to six months without power.
