PCA:
An acronym for patient controlled analgesia. If a pump is in PCA mode and the patient
has been prescribed a bolus volume, then PCA allows for a lay user to periodically give the
patient a bolus of medication. If the infusion is into the epidural space the PCA is referred to as
patient controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA).
PIB (PIb):
An acronym for programmable intermittent bolus. If the infusion is into the
epidural space, the PIB or PIb is referred to as programmable intermittent epidural bolus (PIEB
or PIEb).3Withinthismanual,whenreferringtothepumpitself,“PIB”isused;whenreferring

The ambIT
®
PIB v1.5 pumps are unique pumps. There are three different modes of operation.
TherstmodeisPCA.ThesecondmodeisPIb4. The third mode is PIb and PCA (P+P). The
threedifferentmodesallowforthefollowingvetypesofinfusionpatterns:(1)basalowrate
only,(2)bolusonly,(3)basalowrateandbolus,(4)doseonly,(5)doseandbolus.
InPCAmode,thepumpcanbeprogrammedinbasalowratemode,bolusonly,orbasalow
rateandbolus.InPCAmodetheparametersavailableare(1)basalowrate5, (2) bolus volume6,
(3) lockout time7, and (4) volume to be infused8.
The PIb mode is added to simplify programming a dose-only therapy. Therefore, in PIb mode
the pump can only be programmed to deliver doses. The programmed parameters available in
PIb mode are (1) dose volume, (2) dose interval and (3) volume to be infused.
In P+P mode, the pump can be programmed to deliver a dose only, a bolus only, or a dose and
a bolus. The programmed parameters available are (1) dose volume9, (2) dose interval10, (3)
4 PIb stands for programmable intermittent boluses, but in order to avoid confusion, we refer to all automatically delivered
boluses as doses and PCA boluses as boluses.
5 Theunitsforthebasalowratearemilliliterperhour(ml/hr).When thebasalowrateissettozero(0.0)the PCA
program is set to bolus only.
6 The unit for the bolus volume is milliliter (ml). When the bolus volume is set to zero (0.0) the PCA program is set to basal
owrateonly.
7 Theunitsforthelockouttimearehoursandminutes(hh:mm).Thelockouttimeisbypassedautomatically if the bolus
volume is set to zero (0.0).
8 The volume to be infused unit is milliliter (ml). It is the reservoir volume. It is required to be programmed in all modes.
9 The dose volume unit is milliliter (ml). If it is set to zero (0.0), the interval time is bypassed automatically and the dose
volume can be set to bolus-only mode.

The goal of the bolus or dose is to infuse the medication at an increased rate — mimicking an
injectionasmuchaspossible.Thepurposeoftheincreasedrateisgenerallytooodagreater
areawithanalgesicmedicationortoincreasetheconcentrationofthemedication.Theowrate
at which the ambIT
®
PIB v1.5 pumps infuse a bolus or dose is dependent on the energy state of
the batteries.
The bolus/dose infusion rate will be 210 ml/hr until the low battery alarm is activated if a
new, unused set of AA alkaline batteries are used at the start of the infusion. After the low
battery alarm is activated, the bolus/dose infusion rate may be reduced from the 210 ml/hr to
about 180 ml/hr. On a new, unused set of alkaline batteries, the low battery alarm will not be
reached until at least 500 ml have been infused. If one or both batteries have been previously
used, non-alkaline batteries are used, or the pump is repeatedly cycled off and on, the bolus/
dose infusion rate may drop to a minimum of 125 ml/hr prior to the low battery alarm being
activated.Thepurposeofallowingtheinfusionratetodropistomaximizebatterylife.The
pump will NOT inform the user that the bolus/dose infusion rate has dropped. No other
parameters are affected as the batteries are depleted.
CAUTION: If the medication being infused requires the bolus/dose infusion rate to be 210
ml/hr, only new alkaline batteries should be used and the batteries should be
changed immediately when the low battery alarm occurs.
CAUTION: Repeatedly cycling the pump off and on may cause the bolus/dose infusion
ratetodropbelow210ml/hr.Inextremecases,thebolus/doseinfusionrate
could drop as low as 125 ml/hr.
A new, unused set of alkaline batteries will infuse at 210 ml/hr. For a minimum of 500 ml, the
bolusanddoseowratewillbe210ml/hr.Oncethebatterieshavebeendepleted,theowrate
maydecrease.Thelowestowratethepumpwillreachis125ml/hr.
The different parameters for each mode interact with each other to create an infusion pattern.

11 If the bolus volume is set to zero (0.0), then the lockout time is automatically bypassed and the pump will only deliver
doses (like PIb mode).

The settings for Figure 1-2 are a bolus volume of 10 ml and a lockout time of 30 minutes. After
a bolus is requested and delivered, a lockout time begins. A bolus is delivered only when the
BOLUS button or remote BOLUS switch is pressed. During the lockout time, the pump will
beep when a bolus is requested, but no bolus will be delivered.
CAUTION: Right after programming the pump or clearing history, a bolus will be delivered
if requested. The pump assumes that clearing history or programming/

endofonedoseintervalandthedoseatthestartofthenextdoseinterval).
NOTE: Fromthestartofonedosetothestartofthenextdose(doseinterval),theIL
is maintained, but over a time that covers the end of one dose interval and the
startofthenextdoseinterval,thevolumesetfortheILmaybeexceeded.(This
situation is shown in Figure 1-7. The total volume infused from the time the
