Setting The Reservoir-Residual Volume (Res Vol) - SIMS Deltec CADD-PLUS 5400 Operator's Manual

If the pump is in the Continuous mode,
• Press the SELECT MODE key to change the pump display from
the Continuous mode to the Intermittent mode.
• Press the SET/CLEAR key to enter the Intermittent mode setting
into the pump's memory and to continue the power-up se-
quence. Near the end of the self-test, the pump displays the
Intermittent mode functions: ML, PERIOD, CYCLE, KVO
ML/HR, DELAY START, CYCLE GIVEN, GIVEN, and RES VOL. A series
of beeps indicates that the power-up sequence has been completed.
• Go to Section 3.4.2, "Setting the Reservoir-Residual Volume (RES VOL)."

3.4.2 Setting the Reservoir-Residual Volume (RES VOL)

The pump's computer memory keeps track of the amount of the drug infused;
and the display automatically shows the calculated amount of the drug in mil-
liliters that remain in the fluid container.
You must enter the initial volume (ml) of the drug, contained within the fluid
container, into the pump's memory.
There is a warning alarm when the calculated number of milliliters remaining is
at or below 3 milliliters. When RES VOL reaches 0 ml, a continuous alarm
signals that the programmed volume of medication has been delivered, and the
pump stops automatically.
You may program the reservoir-residual volume to a maximum of 1,500 ml
when using large capacity, flexible plastic IV bags.
NOTE:
T he pum p does not actually m easure the volum e of drug rem aining in the fluid
container. T he num ber displayed in the R eservoir-R esidual Volum e m ode (R ES
V O L ) is calculated by subtracting the current m illiliters of drug given from the
initial value you programmed for the R ES V O L . T he term "R ES V O L " refers
to the am ount of drug program m ed and the calculated amount of drug
rem aining in the fluid container.
