OPTIONS | Piggyback |
The Vista™ basic contains many options to allow custom programming. To access the various options, press OPTS while the pump is stopped. Pressing OPTS each time will move you to the next option. Eventually, the OPTS key will bring you back to the mode from which you began.
Depending on the model, some modes/options may have been disabled and will not appear on the display when the OPTS key is pressed.
PIGGYBACK
The Piggyback feature allows programming of a secondary (Piggyback) infusion. The pump automatically switches from the Piggyback to the Continuous Mode infusion when the Piggyback program is complete. The option is only available if there is data in the Continuous Mode.
1. Connect the Piggyback set to the injection site on the tubing above the pump on the primary set. Open the roller clamp on the Piggyback set.
2. Hang the Piggyback solution container at least 8 inches above the primary solution container.
3.Program the continuous infusion in the Continuous Mode (see “Continuous Mode”).
4.Press OPTS.
5.Press ON to turn the Piggyback feature on.
6. Press END. PIGY will now be displayed in the lower left corner.
7.Press PIGY.
8.Enter the Piggyback infusion data as you would Continuous Mode data.
9. Press | to start the Piggyback infusion. |
10. Check that drops are falling in the Piggyback drip chamber.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to infuse both Continuous and Piggyback fluids at the same time. Use primary sets with check valves.
NOTE: To prevent incorrect delivery, the programmed Piggyback volume to be delivered must equal the amount of fluid in the Piggyback container. Automatic Piggyback is not intended for the infusion of fluids requiring flushing before and after administration.
NOTE: If the Piggyback container is not empty, the remaining Piggyback fluid will be delivered at the Continuous Mode rate once the pump transitions back to the Continuous Mode.
