Programming the Infusion

Enter Rate

The PRIM (Primary) screen shows Rate, VTBI, and Time fields. The rate entry uses field-based digit entry — digits are entered one position at a time using up and down arrows to increment/decrement each digit.

Press Start/Stop

Once rate and VTBI are configured, press the Start/Stop button to begin the infusion.

Running State

The running display shows the drug name, current rate, and total volume infused. The arrows indicate the infusion direction.
