The Reservoir-Residual Volume (RES VOL)

The reservoir-residual volume (RES VOL) refers to the initial amount of medi-
cation (in milliliters), contained in the fluid container, that you wish to deliver.
You must enter that amount into the computer's memory to determine the amount
of medication remaining in the fluid container. [See Section 3.4.2, "Setting the
Reservoir-Residual Volume (RES VOL)."]
2.5.2

The Delivery Volume (ML)

The display will show the current delivery volume, which is the specific amount
of medication in milliliters that the pump will deliver during the PERIOD. The
delivery range is from 00.1 ml to 150.0 ml in 00.1 ml increments. If you pro-
gram a delivery volume of 0.00 ml, the pump will deliver medication at the
KVO rate.
2.5.3

The Delivery PERIOD (PERIOD)

You may program a specific amount of time, called the PERIOD, during which
the patient will receive a prescribed volume of a drug. (See Figure 4.) The display
will show the HR:MIN and PERIOD indicators that denote the current setting
for the PERIOD. The effective delivery rate (ML) during the PERIOD (HR:MIN)
may never exceed 75 ml/hr. The PERIOD range is from 10 minutes to 12 hours.
The PERIOD is programmable in 10-minute increments.
