  • Page 3: Introduction

    Cardinal Health has verified the accuracy of the mathematical model implementation as well as pump delivery accuracy - (specification and accuracy of pump - delivery are available in 'Profiles from TCI Mode' section).
  • Page 4: Tci Overview

    TCI Overview The dose-response relationship can be divided into three parts: the relationship between administered dose and plasma concentration (the pharmacokinetic phase), the relationship between effect organ concentration and clinical effect (the pharmacodynamic phase) and the coupling between pharmacokinetics and dynamics. The ultimate goal when administering a particular dose of a drug is to obtain the desired clinical effect, for which a specific therapeutic concentration of the drug at the site of action (the receptor) is necessary.
  • Page 5 TCI Overview (continued) TCI infusion pumps can provide optimal control of anaesthesia when the three elements mentioned above have been accurately modelled and described. Firstly, the model that controls the pump has to work accurately (The models used in the Alaris® PK Syringe Pump are well- validated and accepted).
