Startup Graph Description
The Startup Graph was developed in accordance with IEC 60601-2-24. The Startup data shown in the graph
illustrates the startup performance of the Ipump Pain Management System during the first 24 hours of
operation with a sampling period of 15 minutes.
A Startup Graph of flow versus time (Figure 9-1) illustrates initial stability with time. Even with proper
components and set up, the flow of any manufacturer’s pump may be erratic during the initial startup period.
Therefore, we have included the startup, or stabilization data. It should be noted that as the time interval over
which accuracy is measured is lengthened, all pumps show considerable improvement in flow accuracy.
! WARNING !
During upstream occlusion testing, the pump may withdraw up to 0.03 mL of fluid and
subsequently deliver up to 0.09 mL of fluid at the end of the test period. If these volumes are
clinically significant for the patient, please take the appropriate measures. See “Upstream
Occlusion Testing” for more details.
