Operational Checkout Accuracy Tests
1. Before proceeding with the selected test, perform steps 1 through 6 of
“Administration Set Preparation” on page 10-2.
Note: An unused section of a Baxter “s” suffix standard administration set or calibra-
tion tubing (part no. 03-02-92-479) can also be used for these tests.
2. Mark the section of the tubing in the pump to indicate that the segment
has been used.
Note: Do NOT reuse a tubing segment that has already been used to conduct an
accuracy test.
Note: The accuracy specifications included in these tests account for an extensive
list of variables over a short duration test cycle. A more precise measurement
of flow rate requires longer test times, including statistical trials. However, this
is not necessary to demonstrate proper function of the pump.
Measurement by volume per time
1. Program a PRI VTBI of 20 mL and start the pump at 200 mL/hr.
2. Collect the solution in an ASTM Class A 25 mL graduated cylinder, with
a resolution of 0.2 mL or better, for 6 minutes ±3 seconds or until the
pump switches to the KVO mode.
Note: Stop the pump within 10 seconds after the KVO alert, because fluid delivered
after the KVO alert adds to the test error.
3. The solution collected should be between 18.6 mL and 21.4 mL.
Measurement incorporating VTBI option
1. Program a PRI RATE of 200 mL/hr. and PRI VTBI of 35 mL.
2. Start the pump and collect the solution in a container of known weight.
When the pump goes into KVO alert mode, stop the pump within 20
seconds.
Note: Stop the pump within 20 seconds after the KVO alert, since fluid delivered
after the KVO alert adds to the test error.
3. Use a calibrated scale with a resolution of 0.1 grams or better to weigh
the container and solution. Then, divide the solution weight by the
specific gravity of the solution (water’s specific gravity is 1 g/mL).
4. The solution collected should be between 32.5 mL and 37.5 mL.
