Chapter 4 FUNCTIONAL TESTS
4 - 8
4.2.10.3 Accuracy Test: (*D*)
1. Install an empty B-D® or Monoject® 60 mL syringe in the pump. Set the plunger at the
60 mL mark on the syringe.
2. Program the pump as follows:
MODE: mL/hr mode
MFG: B-D® or Monoject®
SIZE: 60 mL
RATE: 200 mL/hr
VOL LIMIT: 60 mL
3. (*D*) Record start volume from the syringe. Use the graduations on the syringe to
determine the volume.
4. Set the timer for 15 minutes. Simultaneously start the timer and press the START key
on the pump to start the infusion process.
5. During the infusion, the pump emits 5 beeps, the ALERT LED flashes and <10 MIN
VOL LIM appears on the display.
6. (*D*) After 15 minutes, press the STOP key on the pump. Record the stop volume on
the syringe. Subtract the stop volume from the start volume and record the result as
the volume delivered. The volume delivered must be between 48.5 cc and 51.5 cc.
NOTE
It is essential that the test be stopped at precisely 15 minutes. An 18
second difference will result in a 1 mL error.
7. Switch the pump “OFF” and remove the syringe from the pump.
4.2.10.4 Shutdown Alarm Test: (*D*)
1. Remove the pole clamp and the battery from the pump (refer to Chapter 7 for details).
DO NOT disconnect the battery at this time.
2. Ensure that the AC charger is NOT plugged into the pump.
3. Switch the pump “ON” and allow the pump to remain on for a minimum of 1 minute.
4. Disconnect the battery stack from the pump.
5. (*D*) The pump will then begin to alarm, alternating from 2 high beeps to 2 low beeps.
Ensure that the pump continues to alarm for a minimum of 3 minutes. There should be
nothing on the display and no LEDs will be lit.
