INFUSION MODES
Developed in response to the special needs of all caregivers in the medical setting, the
Outlook 200 has five different infusion modes which allow fluid delivery to be tailored to the
patient's individual needs.
STANDARD Mode delivers a set volume of fluid at a constant rate. At
the end of the infusion, the pump automatically switches to Keep Vein
Open in order to maintain IV patency. In this mode, a secondary fluid, infusion
such as an antibiotic, may be administered using PIGGYBACK delivery.
DoseScan™ allows the user to automatically enter all infusion parame- ATE |
ters via the Bar Code information provided on the fluid container. Dose Doe, John Q.
Scan will automatically set up the infusion in STANDARD, Piggyback, BIA
and DOSE Modes. It will check for an Authorized User ID and ensure the Normal Saline
scanned Patient ID matches the ID on the source container. IE
DOSE Mode calculates the concentration, rate, or dose information nec-
essary with many critical drug infusions. The pump contains a library of
commonly dosed IV drugs. Titration of the medication rate automatically
leads to recalculation of the dosing parameter.

q(x) Schedule can be used for the intermittent infusion of antibiotics, che-
motherapy, or other IV infusions according to a schedule set by the user.

PROGRAM Mode allows up to 9 periods to be entered. Each period con-
tains its own rate and volume. The pump automatically gives each pro- Sequential Periods
grammed period one after the other without user intervention. This mode
is best suited for Intermittent, Variable, and Circadian infusions.
PROFILE Mode is used primarily for TPN infusions which require a
ramping up phase, a flat rate during which the bulk of the infusion is
delivered, and a ramp down phase.
