Air-in-line detection
Single Bubble: 50µl, 100µl, 250µl or 500µl .
Bubble accumulation: 1ml over a 15 minute window .
Single Bubble Air-in-line detector accuracy (Nominally):
50μl 54μl ± 1μl
100μl 108μl ± 1μl
250μl 262μl ± 2μl
500μl 514μl ± 2μl
Achieved under nominal conditions
Notes
1a . Nominal conditions are defined as:
• Set Rate: 1 to 1200ml/h
• Recommended infusion set: 70593
• Needle: 18gauge x 40mm
• Solution Type: De-ionized and Degassed Water
• Temperature: 23°C ± 2°C
• Fluid Head Height: +300 ± 10mm
• Back Pressure: 0 ± 10mmHg
• Atmospheric Pressure : 1010hPa ± 10 hPa
1b . Low flow conditions are defined as:
• Set Rate: less than 1 .0ml/h
• Recommended infusion set: 70593
• Needle: 18gauge x 40mm
• Solution Type: De-ionized and Degassed Water
• Temperature: 23°C ± 2°C
• Fluid Head Height: +300 ± 10mm
• Back Pressure: 0 ± 10mmHg
• Atmospheric Pressure : 1010hPa ± 10 hPa
2 . The system accuracy will change by the following percentages:
• Temperature: nominally -1 .1% at 5 °C and nominally -1 .6% at 40 °C
• Fluid Head Height: nominally -2 .55% at -380mm and 0 .0% at +500mm
• Duration: nominally -0 .15% over 24 hours of continuous use
• Back Pressure: nominally +1 .27% at -100mmHg, +0 .1% at +100mmHg respectively
• Atmospheric pressure: ± 5% at 125ml/h at 500hPa and 1060hPa
• Solution Type: nominally -1 .53% (0 .9% Normal Saline); nominally -2 .35% (50% Dextrose); nominally -1 .53% (20% Lipids); nominally
-1 .04% (5% Alcohol)-1 .04% with 5% Alcohol
The specified accuracy may not be maintained if the above conditions are not met, see notes 1 to 2.
