IV set calibration
Prepare for calibration
Because there is a large size deviation among different brands or different types of infusion set, should
employ 0.9% saline or pure water to calibrate, set the infusion rate to normal infusion rate, like certain
department often employs the infusion rate as 60ml/h-120ml/h, then can take the median 90ml/h as the
calibration rate, so can guarantee the accuracy in the condition of normal infusion after calibration, the
steps for calibration as follows:
1. Hang a bottle or a bag which contains saline or pure water (60ml is suggested);
2. Prepare one electronic balance or measuring cup (if choose electronic balance, should put a vessel
upon), and reset the electronic balance before use.
3. Close the adjustable clamp of infusion set waiting to be calibrated. (make sure no leakage)
4. insert the infusion set waiting to be calibrated into bottle, close the pump door after correct infusion set
installation( make sure the Murphy’s dropper no liquid drips), at the same time open the adjustable
clamp of infusion set;
5. Press
to purge the bubbles inside tube, then put the other end of infusion set into the measuring
cup or the vessel;
6. Read the value on the measuring cup or on the electronic balance, then input the value on cue line of the
calibration interface.
