Bolus Volume,
Maximum after
Occlusion:
Bolus Volume, Maximum after Occlusion is measured using two different setups.
The first setup simulates an actual clinical setup and includes a device at heart height, a full
length administration set, and an 18 gauge needle at the end of the administration set. Test setup
uses a BD 50/60 mL syringe at 5 mL/h.
Use the smallest compatible syringe size necessary to deliver the fluid or
medication; this is especially important when infusing high risk or
life-sustaining medications at low infusion rates.
The second setup is a laboratory test setup that includes a 1 meter administration set, a device
above the height of the collection container, rigid tubing connecting the administration set to a
pressure transducer, and no needle at the end of the administration set.
