vPad-IV OPERATORS MANUAL
2 Overview
The Vision-Pad Automated Infusion Device Analyzer, or vPad-IV™ , enables inspection and testing of all
types of infusion devices, including syringe pumps, cassette pumps, linear and rotary peristaltic pumps,
enteral feeding pumps, ambulatory infusion pumps, and patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) pumps. A
vPad-IV system will provide a Vision-Pad tablet and a vPad-IV Controller, and it may optionally include
one, two, three, four or five "secondary" vPad-IV Modules. The tablet runs the vPad-IV software
application or "app" which provides a user interface for the system. The Controller and optional Modules
measure fluid flow and pressure and are referred to as
channels .
Figure 1
shows an example vPad-IV
system providing the maximum number of channels.
vPad-IV enables users to conduct tests on up to six different infusion devices simultaneously. Channels may
be optionally linked to streamline testing of infusion devices which incorporate multiple pumps within a
single unit. AutoSequence mode provides user-customizable protocols which integrate inspection and
maintenance steps with automated tests of flow, volume and pressure. Results of a test or AutoSequence
may be saved as a Test Record for later review or transfer to a maintenance management system.
Equipment information and test setup can be recalled automatically from Equipment Records which are
stored locally on the tablet. Such records are created or updated as tests of infusion devices are completed
with the analyzer.
