2.4.2

Continuous Rate (ML/HR)

The delivery rate in ML/HR (milliliters per hour) is the constant rate at which
the pump delivers medication. The delivery rate range is from 00.1 ml/hr to 75.0
ml/hr in 00.1-ml/hr increments. If you program a delivery rate of 00.0 ml/hr,
delivery will not occur.
2.4.3

The Amount GIVEN (GIVEN)

GIVEN refers to the number of milliliters that have been delivered since the
GIVEN register was last cleared.
The number of milliliters in GIVEN accumulates from 000 to 999 and then
returns to 000. Please note that the GIVEN counter functions in a way that is
similar to an automobile's odometer. After the GIVEN counter reaches 999, it
will start at 000 again and continue counting, which is especially important if
you plan to use more than 1,000 milliliters of solution.
2.5

Description of the Intermittent Delivery Mode

Programming the pump in the Intermittent delivery mode (I mode) permits the
infusion of a prescribed volume of drug (delivery volume) over a specified time
period (delivery PERIOD). You can repeat that program in a cycle of up to 24
hours (delivery CYCLE). When you are not infusing a drug dose, you may also
program the pump for a KEEP VEIN OPEN (KVO) function. The pump will
then deliver a minimal amount of a drug to maintain catheter patency. Finally,
you may also program the pump for a time delay (DELAY START) before
starting drug infusion. (See Figure 4.)
