Resume/Repeat Rx/New Program Menu

There are three different ways that you can start a therapy:

• RESUME: Should be used if a therapy is interrupted. The pump picks up where it

left off, and continues the therapy.

• REPEAT Rx: Should be used to hang a new bag and repeat the same therapy over

again. The infusion history displayed is reset (volume infused, boluses requested,

boluses received, etc). Shift Totals and Hourly Totals continue to accrue.

• NEW PROGRAM: Should be used to program a totally new Rx. All the therapy

parameters in the pump are set to factory default and must be re-entered by the

clinician.

The judicious choice of the option can help speed up programming. This screen gives you all

three options:

Resuming a therapy

1 RESUME—If a therapy is interrupted and the pump is turned off or paused before

completion of the infusion, you may select “RESUME” by moving the cursor to this field

and pressing the “YES/ENTER” key. A notification screen displays, and a prompt is given

to run the pump. At this time, you can continue to infuse the prescription from the exact

point at which it was interrupted.

Note: Patients should be taught proper time frames or limitations for leaving their IV bags or

medication reservoirs “hanging” during an interrupted state and, if indicated, to change to

a new bag according to the healthcare provider’s policies and drug manufacturer’s

instructions.

Repeating a Pre-Programmed Therapy

2 REPEAT Rx—Use this feature if an infusion is complete and you wish to repeat the same

prescription over again or if a therapy is programmed and the pump is turned off before the

infusion is started. Select this field by moving the cursor to “REPEAT Rx,” and press the

“YES/ENTER” key.

If the pump has been programmed for more than one therapy and you wish to select a

therapy at this time, move the cursor to “REPEAT Rx,” and press the “YES/ENTER” key.

This action will take you to the “Select Therapy Screen” and allow you to choose which of the

programs you now wish to repeat.

Note: If you are choosing a therapy that is different than the last one selected, “Shift Totals”

and “Hourly Totals” will be cleared.
