Programming Screens
Entering a new infusion volume, taper
up, taper down, infusion duration or
reservoir volume resets the infusion so
that delivery starts at the beginning of
the infusion duration.
Infusion Volume - The total
•
volume of fluid to be delivered.
The reservoir volume must be
large enough to support the
entire infusion volume. Therefore,
programming the infusion volume
may result in an automatic increase
in the reservoir volume. Entering
a new infusion volume resets the
infusion so that delivery starts at
the beginning
Taper Up - The duration for the
•
taper up period. The maximum
programmable taper up is limited
by a combination of the plateau
rate, infusion duration, infusion
volume, and taper down. You
cannot select a taper up duration
that would cause the plateau rate
to exceed the maximum allowable
rate. Entering a new taper up
duration resets the infusion so that
delivery starts at the beginning
• Taper Down - The duration for the
taper down period. The maximum
programmable taper down is
limited by a combination of the
plateau rate, infusion duration,
infusion volume, and taper up. You
cannot select a taper down duration
that would cause the plateau rate
to exceed the maximum allowable
rate. Entering a new taper down
duration resets the infusion so that
delivery starts at the beginning
p. 24
• Infusion Duration - The
time required to deliver the
infusion volume. The minimum
programmable infusion duration
is limited by a combination of the
plateau rate, infusion volume, taper
up, and taper down. You cannot
select an infusion duration that
would cause the plateau rate to
exceed the maximum allowable
rate. Entering a new infusion
duration resets the infusion so that
delivery starts at the beginning
• Plateau Rate - The maximum rate
at which medication is delivered
during the plateau portion of the
infusion. It appears on the screen
for review only and is calculated
by the pump based on the infusion
volume, infusion duration, and any
programmed tapering. Rates above
250 mL/hr require a CADD
volume administration set
KVO Rate - The KVO or "keep vein
•
open" rate is optional. It allows
the delivery of a minimal amount
of drug to help maintain catheter
patency. If a delayed start is
programmed, the KVO rate is active
until the infusion begins. It is also
active after the infusion volume is
delivered if the reservoir volume
is programmed greater than the
infusion volume
