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.

The low continuous flow rate supplied by the infusion device. When a flow rate is
recorded on the Device Information screen, it is transferred to the Basal/Primary Flow
Rate field of the PCA Information screen. This must be less than 25 % of the expected
bolus/secondary flow rate for reliable detection.
The total volume expected from the infusion device. When total volume is recorded on
the Device Information screen, it is transferred to Total Volume field of the PCA
Information screen.
The volume of bolus to be delivered when the patient-demand button on the infusion
pump is pushed. When a Dual Flow pump is tested, this is the secondary volume.
Recorded for the report only.
The volume of the initial dose (available on some pumps).
