Appendix A - Accuracy Graphs
Head Height Effect on Accuracy
The diagram below show how variation from the recommend head height
affects accuracy.
Effects of Back Pressure on Accuracy
The nominal back pressure for pump accuracy testing is established at the distal
connector on the end of the feeding set. The is compared with the back pressure
that would be experienced when the distal connector is plugged into a 6.5 fr,
36” long nasogastric tube. Operating the pump at the limits of this back pressure
range can exhibit the accuracy effects seen in the graph below:
Single Fault Condition Effect on Accuracy
In the event of a single fault short circuit in the pump electronics, a maximum
bolus of 3.33 mL of extra fluid delivery may occur.
