Section VI – Re-Certification of Performance
System Performance Re-Certification
A series of self-diagnostic checks can be run to re-certify pump performance. It is recommended that this re-certification procedure
be run at least once per year, or any time the pump is suspected of having improper performance. See Section XIII – Service Part
Numbers for ordering new Re-Certification Pump Sets.
Load the Re-Certification Pump Set. The pump will automatically recognize the Re-Certification Pump Set and give brief instructions
to initiate the self-diagnostic procedure. Follow the instructions and review the pass/fail information at the end of the test.
Certifying the Accuracy of Pump Flow Rate
Use the following procedure to check the flow rate accuracy:
• Perform test at room temperature 22° C ± 2° C (72° F ± 3° F) with a new Pump Set.
• Fill a new Feed-Only Pump set bag with water to the 500 mL mark.
• Load the Pump Set.
• Suspend the Pump Set bag so that the bottom of the bag is 18 inches above the pump.
• Make sure pump is plugged into A/C power (do not run test with battery power).
• Program a Continuous Mode feed rate (see below for suggested example rates).
• Run the pump for 15 minutes to achieve steady state operation.
• Then begin collecting the water in a calibrated measuring container, such as a large-capacity graduated cylinder, for exactly 30
minutes.
NOTE: The amount of water collected in 30 minutes will be half of the value programmed for the hourly flow rate, within ± 10%, or
0.5 mL, whichever is larger.
Rate Set Amount Expected in 30 Minutes
75 mL/hr 33.7 mL to 41.3 mL
150 mL/hr 67.5 mL to 82.5 mL
If the amount collected is outside the range, load a new Pump Set and re-run the test procedure to confirm results.
