applies the KVO rate set
under Change Set Up until the Syringe is empty.

Every four minutes four beeps will be heard to confirm the pump is
still running/infusing.
Press NO to Stop the pump and set a new program, if there is still

Infusion Rate Titration
Infusion rate titration can be enabled so that the patient/caregiver or clinician can adjust the rate during
infusion within pre-set maximum (max.) and minimum (min.) limits. This option can be Enabled by users
with access code rights in Change Set Up. If enabled, the pump requires the user, after confirming the
infusion rate calculated during programming, to set a maximal & minimal rate. To titrate the rate up or
down during infusion follow these steps:
Use the UP or DOWN arrows on the keypad to adjust the rate
to the desired new setting as displayed on the main LCD
screen
Press YES (within a few seconds of making the change) to
confirm the new rate
Pump sounds a beep to confirm the change and the screen will display the new rate
NOTE:
Titration requires Two separate, distinct actions (rate selection with arrow keys followed
by YES key press to confirm and apply the new rate) to protect against accidental rate titration if
the keys are nudged or tampered with during infusion.
NOTE:
In order to limit the maximum titration limit configurable by users without access code
rights it is possible to set a Maximum Rate limit from the Technician menu. For example senior
clinicians could decide to limit the maximum possible rate programmable on the pump to 3ml/hr
for both rate and titration limit to prevent accidental over infusions.
