MAINTENANCE
Accuracy of fluid delivery is determined by measuring the
volume of fluid delivered over a known time period and
comparing this to the expected value. To ensure accurate
measurements during the test, a volumetric glass burette (class
A) must be used to collect the fluid. The infusion time interval
must be 180 seconds or greater to minimize measurement
errors. During a 180-second test, a one-second error by the
operator results in an error of 0.6%.
A.
