The start-up curves represent continuous flow rate versus operating time for 2 hours from the start of the
infusion. They exhibit the delay in o
nset of delivery due to mechanical compliance and provide a visual
representation of uniformity. Trumpet curves are derived from the second hour of this data.
Pump Module
Effects of Pressure Variations
Under conditions of +100 mmHg pressure, the pump module typically exhibits a long-term accurac
y offset
of approximately -3.5% from mean values.
Under conditions of +300 mmHg pressure, the pump module typically exhibits a long-term accurac
y offset
of approximately -6.2% from mean values.
Under conditions of -100 mmHg pressure, the pump module typically exhibits a long-term accurac
y offset
of approximately +0.5% from mean values.
Resulting trumpet observation points typically track those of accuracy; therefore, no significant change in
short-term variations result under th
ese pr
essure conditions.
Effects of Negative Solution Container Heights
With a negative head height of -0.5 meters, the pump module typically exhibits
a long-term accuracy offset
of approximately -2.8% from mean values.
Resulting trumpet observation points typically track those of accuracy; therefore, no significant change in
short-term variations result under negative head height condition

Syringe Module
Trumpet and start-up curves have been provided for 1.0 mL/h and 5.0 mL/h. Measurements for trumpet
curve rates below 1.0 mL/h are not provided because of the difficulty in measuring extremely small
volu
mes over a large duration of time. In this case, the linear relationship of the plunger position and
velocity to syringe volume and rate is verified, and is a function of the accuracy of the design.
Measurements for trumpet c
urve rates above 5.0 mL/h are also not provided
, as the syringe volume is
displaced in a very short time with a rate up to 999 mL/h. Accuracy, however, is assured wi
th the design
implementation.
Under conditions of -100 mmHg, +100 mmHg, and +300 mmHg pressures, the syringe module typically
exhibits a long-term accuracy offset of approximately 0.2% or less from the mean value.
