The linear accuracy of the pump can be verified by measuring the time the plunger holder takes to travel a specified
distance. The distance travelled is measured using a dial indicator, mounted in place of the syringe, and the elapsed time
can be measured using a stop watch.
Equipment required: 1000TG00080 and 0000JG00014
1. Declutch the drive mechanism and move the plunger holder to the right.
2. Fit the linear test gear 1000TG00080 to the pump and move plunger holder towards the dial gauge until it is a about
3mm clear of the probe. Fit a plunger detect spatula 0000JG00014.
3. Set the pump to run at a rate of 100ml/h, confirm syringe type and start it. Allow the pump to run until the plunger
detect spatula touches the probe and then using a stop watch, time the travel over a distance of 15.00mm.
4. Using the values specified in table below, check that the pump is travelling at the correct speed. If the test values fall
outside the stated limits (or the movements of the dial are jerky) then the pump requires further investigation.
The table below provides data for a combination of syringe types and sizes.
Syringe Type Size (ml) Flow Rate (ml/h) Expected Time (min:sec)
BD Plastipak 50 100.0 4m 55s +/-3s
IVAC 50 100.0 4m 57s +/-3s
Terumo 50 100.0 5m 57s +/-4s

Monoject 50 100.0 4m 55s +/-3s
Nipro 50 100.0 5m 55s +/-4s
Fresenius Injectomat 50 100.0 5m 49s +/-4s
Braun Perfusor 50 100.0 5m 30s +/-3s
Once 50 100.0 5m 20s +/-4s
Zeneca 50 100.0 5m 02s +/-3s
BD Precise 50 100.0 5m 50s +/-4s
BD Perfusion 50 100.0 5m 28s +/-4s
Notes:
1) It is only necessary to perform the test using one syringe type, 'BD Plastipak' is recommended.
2) Not all syringe types listed are specified for use with every model of pump.
Linear Speed Test
Test gear required: 0000TG00020 (or 0000TG00200) and 0000JG00014
Method 1. Semi-dedicated pumps
1. Fit the test gear. (For Model P7000, set pump to semi-dedicated mode and remove pressure disc infusion set from
transducer). Confirm syringe type 'BD Plastipak 50ml'. Set the beam occlusion level to L-3. Set up a continuous rate of
100ml/h.
2. Run pump and check that the force at alarm is in the range of 2.2kgf to 3kgf. If it is out of range re-calibrate (see 'Beam
Occlusion Calibration' in Chapter 2) and retest.
Method 2. Dedicated pumps (
Model
P7000 only)
1. Fit a pressure disc infusion set into the transducer. Set the line occlusion level to 220mmHg. Fit the test gear. Confirm
syringe type 'BD Plastipak 50ml' (configure if necessary). Set up a continuous rate of 100ml/h.
2. Run pump and check that the force at alarm is in the range 3.1kgf to 3.9kgf. If it is out of range re-calibrate (see 'Beam
Occlusion Calibration' in Chapter 2) and retest.
