with both pump administration and gravity feed systems. For this reason, do not use the PIGY function to
administer chemotherapeutic agents or other solutions that should not be mixed.
NOTE: PIGY refers to the supplemental IV bag that is situated higher on the pole than the main bag (see
illustration). These fluids will be administered first due to the higher pressure of gravity.
NOTE: When the fluids in the PIGY bag are depleted, the system will begin to deliver the fluids in the
main bag even if the pump is still operating under PIGY settings. The reverse is also true: if the PIGY bag
contains more fluid than the PIGY settings are programmed to deliver, the excess PIGY fluids will be
administered using the settings for the lower bag. For the PIGY program to function as expected, the PIGY
bag must contain exactly the amount of fluid that the PIGY program is set to deliver.
1. Set up the pump as usual for administration of the main (lower) bag of fluids, but do not press RUN/
HOLD at the end of programming. Instead, press PIGY. [PIGY] will appear on the display, followed by
the last PIGY rate setting.
If the primary program is already running, press RUN/HOLD to stop operation before pressing PIGY.
2. Using or , adjust the Rate setting for the PIGY bag.
3. Press SELECT to continue.
4. Display shows last [VTBI]. Adjust the setting as needed using or .
5. Press RUN/HOLD to start the PIGY program.
NOTE: The display screen will intermittently flash [PIGY] when operating in PIGY mode.
NOTE: Once the PIGY program is complete, the pump will return automatically to the primary program.
