  • Page 34: Trumpet And Flow Rate Curves

    Alaris® GW Volumetric Pumps Trumpet and Flow Rate Curves Trumpet and Flow Rate Curves In this pump, as with all infusion systems, the action of the pumping mechanism and variations cause short-term fluctuations in rate accuracy. The following curves show typical performance of the system in two ways: 1) the accuracy of fluid delivery over various time periods is measured (trumpet curves), and 2) the delay in onset of fluid flow when infusion commences (start-up curves).
