SET INFUSION RATE – COMPREHENSIVE METHOD (WITH RULER)
The graduations of syringes vary in terms of brands and sizes. To ensure an accurate
infusion, the pump uses driving speed to calculate the flow rate. Driving speed range is in
1 mm/hr increment from 1 mm/hr - 99 mm/hr. Staff gauge range is from 0 - 60 mm. There
are two ways to calculate desired flow rate:
1) Set driving rate by flow rate. First, use a ruler and measure the ml scale to
determine mm/ml of each graduation scale. Then, multiply by desired infusion flow
rate (ml/hr), and get the driving speed in mm/hr.
Formula: ml/hr × mm/ml = mm/hr For example: Use a 10 ml syringe for infusion.
The length of each 1 ml scale is 4.5 mm; desired infusion flow rate is 2 ml/hr;
then, use the formula to calculate. 4.5 mm/ml × 2 ml/h= 9 mm/hr Therefore, set
the driving rate to be: 0 9
2) Set driving rate by infusion volume First, use a ruler and measure the length of
medication in the syringe. This is to count the medical solution in mm not ml. Then,
divide this number by desired completion time (hr) to determine the driving rate in
mm/hr. Formula: mm ÷ h = mm/hr. For example: The medication in the syringe is
9 ml. Load this syringe onto the pump, the scale reading of the medication in the
syringe is 40 mm in length. The desired infusion time is 5 hours.
40 mm ÷ 5 hr = 8 mm/hr. Therefore, set the driving rate to be: 0 8
START INFUSION
Turn on the ON/OFF switch to start infusion. The running indicator will flash during normal
operation while the rate setting key is locked. To change the infusion rate, you MUST reboot
the pump. Turn off the ON/OFF switch, change the rate and turn on again. When batteries
begin to run down, an audible and visual alarm is activated. When the battery voltage can-
not sustain a normal operation, LOW BATT and COMPLETE/OCCLUSION audible and visu-
al alarm will both be activated. When infusion is completed or an occlusion happens, the
pump stops operation with an audible and visual alarm. To continue infusion, you MUST cor-
rect the error and reboot the pump.
BOLUS CABLE
The pump has a PCA feature. As directed by the DVM, if the PCA feature is required, plug
the bolus cable into the pump socket to enable the PCA feature. During a normal infusion,
while additional injections may be needed, you can push the button on the bolus cale to
inject an additional dosage. Each PCA dosage is 1/4 of the preset delivery dosage. For
safety of the patient and to control the frequency of PCA injections, the interval between two
PCA injections is programmed to be less than 30 minutes.
Storage
This productshould be stored in an environment with ambient temperature of 14°F-131°F
(-10°C - +55°C), relative humidity below 93%, and air pressure 500hpa - 1060hpa. Do not
store close to corrosive vapour and/or harmful impurities.
