System Accuracy
Rate Accuracy is ±5%, achieved under nominal conditions
Rate Accuracy is ±10%, achieved under low flow conditions
Variations of container head height, outlet back pressure or any combination of these can affect mean rate accuracy.
A
Factors that can influence container head height and outlet back pressure are: Flow rate, catheter length and inner
diameter, administration set length and inner diameter, container fill level and pump level, IV solution viscosity, and
IV solution temperature. The Notes under this section of the Directions For Use provide quantitative data on the
influences of intake and outlet pressures on mean flow rate.
Downstream Occlusion Alarm Pressure
Occlusion pressure is adjustable from 1mmHg to 800mmHg in 1mmHg increments .
Occlusion Accuracy achieved under nominal conditions
The downstream occlusion pressure accuracy can vary dependent upon temperature, with the table below showing the accuracy as %
