lock connector.
3. Secure the slide clamp as close to the extension set luer lock
connector as possible. This should assure a minimum water
loss from the tubing when the syringe is removed.
4. Weigh the entire Medication Cassette
set and record the weight. This is the predelivery weight.
(This weight includes the empty Medication Cassette
Reservoir, extension set, and weight of the water.)
5. Attach the cassette to the pump. Program the Reservoir
Volume to 20 ml. Now press
tended delivery volume. (One ml of water at 20°C weighs 1
gram.) Remove the slide clamp.
6. With the pump in Lock Level 0, program a Continuous Rate
of 125 ml/hr. Start the pump and wait for the reservoir
volume empty alarm. The pump will deliver 20 ml.
7. Again, secure the slide clamp as close as possible to end of
the extension set luer lock connector. Remove the cassette
from the pump and weigh the entire Medication Cassette
Reservoir/extension set assembly. This is the postdelivery
weight.
8. Calculate the difference in weight between the predelivery
weight and the postdelivery weight. This is the weight of the
amount delivered.
9. Find the difference between the actual delivery volume and
the intended delivery volume. This is the inaccuracy volume.
10. Divide the inaccuracy volume by the intended delivery
volume and multiply by 100. This is the accuracy error
percentage.
11. If the accuracy error percentage is greater than ± 6%, repeat
the test with a new Medication Cassette
