ABSTRACT:
Parameters for controlling a drug infusion pump (10) are selected by scrolling through sets of predefined values. A value for either a rate and/or a volume of a fluid to be infused (VTBI) is displayed by pressing a quickset key (38) on a control panel (18) of the pump. Each time that the quickset key is depressed, the value appearing on a display (22) changes to the next value in the corresponding predefined set of values. It is also contemplated that holding the quickset key depressed for at least a predetermined time will cause the display to continuously scroll through successive values from the set of predefined values. The predefined values are selected in the set because they represent the most common values for the parameters used by the pump. An operator can "fine tune" the displayed value to a desired value that is not in the set of predefined values by pressing either a down arrow key (50) or an up arrow control key (52). Using this method and system, the values of the parameters are rapidly entered with minimal chance of error.
