An IV drug therapy prescribed as a continuous dose rate. The IV therapy continues to infuse a set dose rate until the infusion is discontinued or the volume to be infused has been completed. Rate changes may be programmed as needed. A loading Dose or Bolus may also be programmed in this infusion.
An IV drug therapy that requires a flow rate (mL/hr) ramp-up to a main (mL/hr) rate for a prescribed period of time and then a tapering down of the rate until total infusion time has completed.
Mutli-Step mode allows the drug to be programmed on the Pump with up to 10 individual infusion rate steps. The automatic transition occurs between each step. Each step must be within the Drug Library defined dose rate limit.
Activation a Drug Library is the process of replacing the current Drug Library or deploying a new Drug Library. The pump will receive a new Drug Library anytime the pump is on and at the Drug Library check interval specified in the Drug Library. When a new Drug Library is received, it is
When storing the Baxter Spectrum the pump should remain powered off and the AC power adaptor unplugged from a power source until all cleaning liquids are completely evaporated from the entire pump.
