Continuous Prescription Menu

1 BAG Vol (IV Bag Volume): Use the numeric keys to enter the amount of fluid in the IV Bag

or Medication Reservoir (include the overfill volume).

Note: The volume used for priming via the pump or for KVO is deducted from the Bag

Volume. Therefore, Bag Volume should be equal to or greater than the Amount To Be

Infused to start the infusion.

When the correct amount has been entered, press the “YES/ENTER” key to accept this

field and move on to the next. The range for this field is 1 to 9999.

2 Amt TBI (Amount To Be Infused): Use the numeric keys to enter the actual amount of

infusion to be delivered excluding any KVO amounts. The “Units” selected in the

prescription menu will automatically appear in this field, whether ml, mg, or mcg. When the

amount is correctly entered, use the “YES/ENTER” key to accept this field and to move to

the next. (If the Amt TBI entered is greater than Bag Volume, the pump will beep once. A

message of “AMT TBI GREATER THAN BAG VOL” will appear to remind you to

recheck and change the number before the “YES/ENTER” key will accept the value and

move to the next field.) The range for this field is 0.1 to 9999.

3 RATE: The Curlin Medical pump can deliver from 0.1 ml to 400 ml per hour. Use the

numeric keys to enter the prescribed rate. If the time of the infusion is entered first, the

pump will automatically calculate the rate. When this field is correct, use the “YES/ENTER”

key to accept the rate, and move to the next field.

4 TIME: Displays the time required to complete the infusion. When the pump is given the

Amount To Be Infused and the RATE at which to infuse, it will automatically calculate the

Time and display it here. If the time is not acceptable, press the “NO” key to edit this field,

and enter the new TIME with the numeric keys. (Remember, by changing the time of the

infusion, a new RATE will be calculated and will have to be accepted before exiting this

menu. The “Amount To Be Infused” will remain constant.) When the TIME field is

satisfactory, press the “YES/ENTER” key and move to the final field. The range for this

field is 0:01 to 288:00 HH:MM.

Note: The time calculated by the pump may be less than a minute; however, one minute is the

minimum entry and display value.

5 KVO Rate (Keep Vein Open Rate): This field requires data entry using the numeric keys to

set the rate at which fluid will be delivered in a “Keep Open” state. The pump defaults to a

rate of 0.1 ml/hour, can be set from 0 to 10 ml/hour, but cannot be set at a rate to exceed the

therapy-operating rate. When the desired KVO rate has been entered, press the

“YES/ENTER” key to accept and move the cursor to the next field.
