gir03.eps
Figure 1. Infusion Device Connections to the Product
The channel 4 inlet shown in Figure 1, shows a 20 ml syringe attached to one 3-way stopcock inlet. The syringe can be used to help priming. It can be used as shown or can be connected further away from the inlet to help for flow tests. The syringe can be shared among the channels and removed after the channel is primed.
Follow these recommendations when you connect to the inlet tubing circuits:
Use adequate prime volumes (for example, 10 ml) to push through any
bubbles.
Use the stopcocks at the inlet to prevent fluid backflow out of inlets between
tests.
When you connect to the inlet circuits (for example, when you attach the
priming syringes to the stopcocks) make sure no new bubbles are introduced.

The vertical bar along the left side of the screen is the Prime indicator of the liquid in the channel. If there is air in the channel, the indicator will be red. If there is liquid in the channel, the indicator will be blue. As liquid flows into the channel, the column changes from red to blue. Red spaces between blue show when the Product senses bubbles in the measuring system.
When you set up the Product for a flow test, fill the measurement channel with liquid until the Prime indicator is blue and stays blue. At that time, the Prime button in the menu at the bottom of the screen changes to AutoStart and a Start button also appears as shown in Table 8.
Note
The first time a channel is primed after power on, a maximum of 10 ml of liquid can be necessary to fill the measurement channel. 1 ml to 2 ml of liquid can be necessary for subsequent tests on the same channel. If a 3-way stopcock is used, as discussed in the “How to Connect Infusion Devices” section, close the inlet of the Product before you disconnect the infusion device to prevent leaks from the channel.

How to Test PCA Pumps

How to Test PCA Pumps

When PCA is selected from the Device Information screen, the PCA/Dual Flow Information screen in Table 15 is shown. Necessary PCA pump data can be added from this screen. For test purposes, a dual flow pump can be considered to be a PCA pump that delivers a single, large bolus.

Dual Flow Pump Test

During a test, a dual flow pump can be thought of as a PCA pump that supplies a large, single bolus.
The primary flow rate must be recorded in the basal flow rate field of the PCA Information screen. Record the secondary volume in the bolus volume field.

Templates

The Product helps automate and standardize the testing of infusion devices. Templates are used by the Product to control the sequence of tests done on an applicable type of infusion device.
Before you can do this, a template for the type of infusion device you will test must be defined. It is necessary to define a template only once for a particular type of infusion device. Refer to the device’s manufacturer or service documentation for necessary test parameters.
The subsequent section shows an example of a generic syringe pump that requires you test at a flow rate of 20 ml/h for a volume of 10 ml over 30 minutes, and 50 ml/h for 10 ml, both with a tolerance of 5 %. The occlusion must be tested at 50 ml/h with an alarm pressure of 12 psi.
