6.5.3. Volume calibration of set 1 with the pump integrated calibration program
Needed equipment: balance with a resolution of 0,1g at least
1.
Insert a new IV set (only recommended IV sets may be used, see ap-
pendix in the user manual) in the pump (filled with water) and connect the
infusion line to a measuring cup on a balance.
2.
Enter into the configuration mode as described in
chapter 2.3.
3.
Enter at address 399 the value "123". Press key “START” to acknowl-
edge the entered value. Now you can select your preferred set (in our
case set 1).
4.
Press the key “START/STOP”. The pump delivers a volume of 40 ml at
an infusion rate of 999.9 ml/h (“tArA” is flashing).
5.
When “tArA” stops flashing, reset the balance to “0”.
6.
Press the key “START/STOP”. The pump will display “tM 432” (infusion
delivery time is 432 seconds). It should now deliver a volume of 30 ml at
an infusion rate of 250 ml/h.
7.
After the delivery time has elapsed, the pump stops and shows “bAL.”
“30.00” in the displays.
Enter now the value of the balance, e.g. 29.80g. This value must be
within the range of 25.50 – 34.50. Otherwise switch the pump off and re-
start the volume calibration.
8.
Press the key “START/STOP” to acknowledge the entered value.
9.
The pump displays the new correction factor, e.g. “Cor.” ”993”.
10. Press the key “START/STOP” to store the new correction factor ac-
knowledged by a buzzer sound. The pump display changes back to
“SEt” “-1-“ again.
11. Switch the pump off.
Do not remove the infusion set!
12. Perform a control measurement with an infusion rate of 250 ml/h and an
infusion total of 30 ml. Repeat the calibration procedure if necessary.
For an optimized long time accuracy over 24 hours, we recommend to do
a control measurement over 24 hours on a rate of 25 ml/h.
