Reservoir Volume - The volume of
•
fluid contained in the reservoir. The
reservoir volume value decreases
as the pump is primed or delivers
fluid. The reservoir volume should
not be programmed or edited to be
less than the programmed infusion
volume. Entering a new reservoir
volume resets the infusion so the
delivery starts at the beginning
Start Time - The time the
•
next infusion will begin. It is
displayed only if the delayed
start is programmed. The pump
must be running on the selected
date and time in order for the
infusion to begin
Note: In the Taper therapy, you may not
set a delayed start after an infusion
has started.
Starting Daily Infusion
When a new cassette is attached to the
pump at the beginning of the infusion,
the reservoir volume should be reset.
This also resets the infusion.
Stopping and Restarting the Pump
During an Infusion
If you stop the pump and then restart
it before a taper infusion was fully
delivered, you may choose to either
restart the infusion from where delivery
left off, or you may reset the infusion.
When you press stop/start to restart
the pump, a screen appears with the
message, "Infusion was interrupted
before completion. Finish interrupted
infusion or start from beginning with
new bag." Select New Bag to reset
the reservoir volume and reset the
infusion. Or, select Finish to resume
the infusion from the point it was at
when it was last running.

Taper Down Now
This task allows you to stop an infusion
early by immediately tapering down.
The following conditions are necessary
for Taper Down Now:
• The pump must be running
• The pump must be delivering at
the plateau rate or already be in
taper down
Access the Taper Down Now option:
1. From the Tasks menu, press
or until Taper Down Now is
highlighted, then press Select
Note: If a taper down was not
programmed, you can edit the setting
by pressing Select. Enter the security
code, and then press ▲ or ▼ to set the
taper down duration. Press Confirm to
accept the change.
2. Select Yes to continue with taper
down now or press Select to edit
the taper down period. Editing the
taper down now period only affects
the period for this immediate taper.
It has no effect on the taper period
of the protocol that is seen in the
delivery settings
Note: Once you select Yes, you can
not restart delivery at the plateau rate
without resetting the infusion period.
3. When "Beginning Taper Down...."
appears, select OK
