KVO Rate<br />
Section 2: Pump Setup and Programming<br />
The KVO or “Keep Vein Open” rate is optional. It allows the delivery of a<br />
medication to help maintain catheter patency. The programming range is 0 to<br />
125 ml/hr. If the time the next Dose Starts in is programmed, the KVO rate is<br />
active during the initial delay. The KVO rate is also active between doses.<br />
Dose Remaining<br />
The Dose Remaining screen is displayed during dosing or if a dose was<br />
interrupted. This screen displays the time in hours and minutes that are<br />
required to infuse the remaining portion of the dose.<br />
NOTE: If the dose is interrupted and the pump is stopped, both the Dose<br />
Remaining and “Dose Starts in” screens will be displayed in the programming<br />
screens. When the pump is restarted, the remainder of the interrupted dose<br />
will be delivered. If a full dose needs to be delivered, the “Dose Starts In” screen<br />
must be reprogrammed before starting the pump. The user should always<br />
review all of the programming screens to verify when the pump is within the<br />
dosing cycle. The “Dose Starts in” screen, shown with “— hrs — min,” allows<br />
the user to reset the time after which the dose should start.<br />
Dose Starts in<br />
The “Dose Starts in” screen allows you to delay the start of delivery up to<br />
4 days by allowing you to select the amount of time after which the first<br />
dose should begin. The pump must be running after the selected delay in<br />
order for delivery to begin. If a delayed start is not desired, program the<br />
Dose Starts in to “Immediate” so that delivery will begin as soon as you<br />
start the pump.<br />
The delay of the start of the next dose can be programmed in Lock<br />
Level 0 or Lock Level 1 at any time, but if a dose is in progress, this will<br />
cancel the remainder of the dose.<br />
Given<br />
This screen shows the total amount of medication delivered since the last<br />
time this value was cleared. The amount shown is rounded to the nearest<br />
0.01 ml. If this value reaches 99999.95, it automatically returns to 0<br />
and continues counting. The Given amount does not include medication<br />
delivered with the priming feature.<br />
