OPERATION
Chapter 1
• Press sf to commence infusion. Running arrows on display and green LED
above display indicate pump is infusing.
Note: Stop the infusion at any time by pressing sf. The pump can be turned off
at any time by pressing
o for 3 sec (Exception: Data lock level 2) and as long a
disposable is inserted.
1.2 Entry With Different Combinations of Rate, VTBI
(= Volume To Be Infused) and Time
The Perfusor® Space offers the possibility to enter a volume- and time limit in addition
to an infusion rate. When two of these parameters are entered, the third is calculated
by the pump. If a volume and/or time is preselected, an arrow symbol is placed in front
of one of these parameters in the Main Menu. It is called the “target”. During the
infusion of the pump, this target symbol is displayed next to the moving arrows in the
run display (this symbol is not visible in case TCI is used). This indicates that the pump
has been programmed, either with a volume- or time limit. The assignment of the tar-
get symbol, apparent in the Main Menu, shows the established parameter for the ap-
plication (VTBI or time). When the rate is changed, the so-called target parameter is
principally not adjusted to the new rate but to the parameter which does not have the
target symbol in front. After the infusion has started, the remaining VTBI and time are
displayed in the status menu and the run display (values are counting down).
1.) Enter VTBI and time: The infusion rate will be calculated and displayed on the
bottom of the display.
Target: Volume
• Select VTBI with t and open with l.
• Enter VTBI with qand confirm with k.
• Select time with t and open with l.
• Enter time with q and confirm with k.
Check calculated rate on plausibility.
Proceed in the same way to calculate 2.) and 3.).
2.) Infusion with volume limit
Enter rate and VTBI: The infusion time will be calculated and displayed at the
bottom of the display.
Target: VTBI
3.) Infusion with time limit
Enter rate and time: The infusion volume will be calculated and displayed at the
bottom of the display.
Target: Time
Changing already entered values of VTBI and time (rate, VTBI and time already exist
at the point of change):
