primary infusion (or primary infusion to KVO) by direct realtime observation of the flow itself.
Accordingly, the test settings must be configured within the specified limits to ensure the Module will
reliably "see" the change in flow from Rate 1 to Rate 2 when this actually occurs during the test.

Tolerance
in percent according to specifications of the infusion device or per the
manufacturer's inspection protocol. The tolerance may be applied to Rate 1; VTBI 1; Rate 1 and VTBI 1; or
Rate 1, VTBI 1 and Rate 2 (default).
Once the settings are input, run the test with the Start button. With a piggyback or KVO test, always start
vPad-IV first , then start the infusion device. Refer to Section 4.5.3 on page 45 for more information on
how the test begins after the Start button is pressed.
4.3.6 PCA Pump Test Setup
Use the PCA Pump Test to determine the ability of a patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) device to
accurately infuse a set Bolus Volume or dose. The test also measures the lockout time and optional basal
flow between the bolus deliveries. In this test, the PCA device is triggered automatically by vPad-IV to
infuse each bolus during the protocol. Such triggering is accomplished by means of an accessory trigger
cable which connects the vPad-IV Module to the device under test.
