of full-scale plunger travel (not including syringe variation)
Syringe size and running force, variations of back pressure, or any combination
of these may affect rate accuracy. Factors that can influence back pressure are:
administration set configuration,
IV
solution viscosity, and
IV
solution
temperature. Back pressure may also be affected by type of catheter.
Reference “Trumpet and Start-Up Curves” for data on how these factors
influence rate accuracy.
