Use Primary rates only. Set PRImary VTBI greater than 1000 mL.
Using distilled or tap water that has been adequately degassed,
introduce the specified air bubble with a precision gas tight
syringe and manipulate the tubing or bubble so that the air bubble
is just below the pumping mechanism and above the air sensor
before starting the pump.
Perform either of the NORM or the MIN test below depending on the
configuration setting.
1. NORM Configuration Setting Test:
If the AIR SIZE configuration parameter is NORM, perform the
following test sequence.
Inject a 110 microliter air bubble and start the pump at 125
mL/hr. The pump must go into an air alarm and stop. Check
PASS, FAIL, or N/A on the data sheet.
2. MIN Configuration Setting Test:
If the AIR SIZE configuration parameter is MIN, perform the
following test sequence.
Inject an 85 microliter air bubble and start the pump at 125
mL/hr. The pump must go into an air alarm and stop. Check
PASS, FAIL, or N/A on the data sheet.
4.7 Upstream & Downstream Occlusion Test
1. Upstream
Program the pump for a rate of 200 mL/hr and an adequate VTBI.
Start the pump. Let the pump deliver at least 5 mL without
alarm. Then occlude the tubing 12 to 16 inches above the pump
and start calibrated stopwatch or timer. Verify that an
upstream occlusion alarm occurs and the pump stops pumping
within 3 minutes. Check PASS or FAIL and record time for
upstream occlusion alarm to occur on the data sheet.
2. Downstream
Remove the occlusion upstream. Start the pump. Occlude the
tubing below the pump. Verify that an occlusion alarm occurs
and the pump stops pumping. Check PASS or FAIL
on the data
sheet.

Load a S-suffix set such as 2C5545s primed with water in the pump
head. Mark the section of tubing in the pumping mechanism to
prevent future reuse of the same segment.
Use one of the following techniques to measure the flow delivery:
If the pump passes the test, record the Method Used (1, 2, 3, or
4), the value obtained, and check PASS on the data sheet. Also,
check "N/A" on Section 4.9 (1 HOUR TEST) on the data sheet to show
that the 1 hr test was not performed. Proceed to Section 4.10.
If the value falls outside of the range, check "Utilized 1 Hour
Test" on the data sheet and perform Section 4.9.
1. Measurement by weight per time:
Program a VTBI of at least 500 mL and start the pump at 200
mL/hr. Collect the solution in a container of known weight
for 10 minutes and 30 seconds, + 3 seconds. Then using a
calibrated scale with a resolution of 0.1 g or better, 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). The solution collected should be between
32.5 mL and 37.5 mL.
2. Measurement by volume per time:
Program a VTBI of 20 mL and start the pump at 200 mL/hr.
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. It is
important to stop the pump within 10 seconds after the KVO
alert, since fluid delivered after the KVO alert adds to the
test error. The solution collected should be between 18.6 mL
and 21.4 mL.
3. Measurement by time per volume:
Program a rate of 200 mL/hr and a VTBI greater than 35 mL.
Measure the time within 3 seconds that it takes to collect 35
mL +
0.2 mL. Calculate the flow rate in mL/hr by dividing 35
mL by the measured time converted to hours. Note that the
Dynatec Model 404A Flow Analyzer can be used for this method.
The flow rate should be between 186.0 and 214.0 mL/hr.
BAXTER and FLO-GARD are registered trademarks of Baxter International Inc.
Program a rate of 200 mL/hr and VTBI of 35 mL. 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. It is important to stop the pump within 20 seconds
after the KVO alert, since fluid delivered after the KVO alert
adds to the test error. Then, using a calibrated scale with a
resolution of 0.1 g or better, 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).
The solution collected should be between 32.5 mL and 37.5 mL.
4.9 One Hour Accuracy Test (optional)
1. Load an S-suffix set such as 2C5545s primed with water.
Ensure that the loaded tubing segment is new and un-used.
Program a primary rate of 125 mL/hr with a VTBI of 1000 mL.
2. Place the distal end of a set into a container of known
weight. Unit should be connected to AC power.
3. Simultaneously start a timer and push the START key. After
one (1) hour + 20 seconds stop the pump. The water collected
should weigh between 116.25 g and 133.75 g.
4. If the pump passes this test, check "PASS" on Section 4.9 (1
HOUR TEST) on the data sheet and record the value obtained.
5. If the collected weight is not within 116.25 g to 133.75 g,
check "FAIL" on "1 HOUR TEST" on Section 4.9 of the data sheet
and verify proper test technique. This test is not to be
rerun to obtain better results unless there is a reason to
believe the test technique was in error. Pumps that fail this
accuracy test are to be serviced.
4.10 Lock Out
With the pump powered ON, program a VTBI of at least 500 mL. Load
a primed set, and start the pump with a rate of 200 mL/hr. Press
the LOCK OUT button on the back panel and verify that the "Loc"
message appears. All keys should not be accessible except BACK
LIGHT and TOT VOL STATUS. Press the LOCK OUT button again and
verify the "Loc" message disappears. Check PASS or FAIL
on the
data sheet.
4.11 Pump Mechanism Free Flow Prevention
1. Use a head height of 27 inches or higher. This is measured
from the middle of the pump mechanism to the top of the
solution level.
BAXTER and FLO-GARD are registered trademarks of Baxter International Inc.
2. Load the tubing into the pump head properly. Open all roller
and slide clamps to allow free flow. Close the pump door and
observe the distal end of the set for at least 60 seconds. No
more than one half (1/2) mL of fluid (5 maxidrips or 30
minidrips) is allowed in the first 60 seconds. No gravity
flow is allowed after 60 seconds. Check PASS or FAIL on the
data sheet.
4.12 FSR Function
Check the operation of the FSR by performing the following:
1. Power ON the pump.
2. Open the door and misload the tubing over the left FSR.
3. Close the door.
4. Verify that the message display shows "CHECK SET LOADING", the
ALARM LED is ON alternately, and the audible alarm tone is
sounding.
5. Open the door and misload the tubing over the right FSR.
6. Close the door.
7. Verify that the message display shows "CHECK SET LOADING", the
ALARM LED is ON alternately, and the audible alarm tone is
sounding.
8. Check PASS or FAIL on the data sheet.
4.13 Alarm Volume
Induce an alarm. Turn the alarm sound volume knob clockwise and
counterclockwise. Verify that the sound volume increases as the
volume knob is turned clockwise to the limit, and that the sound
volume decreases as the volume knob is turned counterclockwise to
the limit. The alarm/alert sound should be audible when the
volume knob is in any position. Check PASS or FAIL
on the data
sheet.
Note: Release the device with the volume control in the loudest
position.
4.14 Battery Operation
Disconnect the pump from AC power. Load a primed set and start
the pump at 1901 mL/hr with a VTBI of 160 mL. Verify that the
battery icon is lit and that the unit runs for at least 160 mL or
5 minutes. If a battery low alert or alarm occurs, refer to the
Battery Check section in the service manual or replace the battery
if there is reason to believe that it is damaged/degraded. Check
PASS, FAIL, or REPLACED BATTERY on the data sheet.
