Specifying the Default Percentage for Adjusting the Dose
The percentage dose adjustment is the factor by which the calculated dose is increased prior to being
displayed. The factory default settings are 10% for heparin and 10% for protamine. These are the same as
on the RxDx calculator, but different from the HEMOCHRON 8000 system, which uses default settings of
10% for heparin and 30% for protamine.
