Programming Screens
Dose Volume
•
The volume of the dose cannot be
programmed to a value that would
cause the rate of delivery for the
programmed dose duration to
exceed the dose rate maximum of
500 mL/hr. Therefore, programming
the dose volume may result in
the automatic lengthening of the
dose duration to accommodate the
maximum dose rate
Dose Duration
•
The length of time required to
deliver the dose. The dose duration
cannot be programmed to a value
that would cause the rate of delivery
for the programmed dose volume
to exceed the maximum dose rate
of 500 mL/hr
• Dose Cycle
The time from the start of one dose
to the start of the next dose. The
programmable values for the dose
cycle are dependent on the dose
duration. There must be at least
five minutes between the end of
one dose and the start of the next
dose. Therefore, the minimum
programmable cycle is the dose
duration plus five minutes
