4.3.4 Flow Rate Test Setup
4.3.4.1 General setup
Use the
Flow Rate Test
to evaluate the ability of an infusion device to deliver a set volume-to-be-infused
(VTBI) or dose in milliliters (ml) at a set rate in milliliters per hour (ml/h). An automatic test is preferred
when the objective of the test is to evaluate the ability of the device to accurately infuse a Set VTBI or
'dose'. An automatic test may also be used if the test objective is to determine accuracy of the device in
maintaining a Set Rate over a period of time.
Begin test setup by choosing the most suitable stop condition for the manufacturer's inspection procedure
or other test protocol:
• stop the test when the pump's volume-to-be-infused (VTBI) is delivered
• stop the test when a set time limit or duration is reached
• stop the test when a target volume is reached
• stop the test when a target volume or time limit is reached, whichever happens first
Input the
Set Rate
and the
Set VTBI
that the infusion device will be set to for the test, or alternatively to
the required duration of the test in hours, minutes and seconds. Depending on the stop condition, input of a
Set Rate, VTBI or Duration causes the app to automatically recalculate and display the dependent test
parameter. The app will alert you if you input an invalid setting or a value which is outside the measurement
range of the analyzer.
