Nurse-centered potassium regulation cycle with GRIP-II. Nurse-driven potassium regulation with GRIP-II. After taking a blood sample and analyzing it with the point of care machine, the GRIP-II system automatically retrieves the new potassium value from the hospital information system. GRIP-II then advises about the potassium pump rate, and the time to the next blood sample. This total cycle, including also the glucose measurement and insulin pump rate advice takes 4 minutes and is performed 6 times a day.
