6.5. Volume calibration
6.5.1. General
On the A707 Volumetric pump it is possible to calibrate up to 4 different IV-Sets.
For each IV-set you can define a correction factor, which calibrate the volume deliv-
ered.
There are two ways to calibrate the volume delivered by the ARGUS 707 Volumetric
pump, select one:
• By entering the correction factor
• With the internal calibration program of the pump
Needed equipment:
balance with a resolution of 0,1g at least
6.5.2. Volume calibration of the pump by defining the correction factor
Please be sure, which IV-set you want to calibrate. If it is not enabled in the configu-
ration, please enable it first and select the according IV-set in the normal mode of
the pump in menu “Set -x-“.
1. Insert a new IV set (only recommended IV sets may be used, see appendix in
the user manual) in the pump and perform a “warm up” infusion of 40 ml at an
infusion rate of 999.9 m/h!
2. Infuse now a volume of 30 ml of water in a measuring cup on a zeroed balance
at an infusion rate of 250 ml/h.
3. Determine the weight of the delivered water.
4. Connect the pump to a PC and start the ARGUS
service
PC tool as described
in
chapter 4
, go into the calibration part of this tool.
5. Refer
to
chapter 4.3
, select “by VOLUME” on the left side in the calibration win-
dow.
6. Enter 30 in the target volume setting field, enter the measured volume (weight)
in the “actual measurement reading” field. The deviation will be calculated by
the PC software.
7. Apply this value to the IV-Set you want to calibrate.
8. Perform a control measurement according to the steps 2 & 3 above. Repeat the
calibration procedure if necessary.
