 Fill the test administration set or the beaker with some water
ensuring the canula is dipped in the water (> 1cm).
 Add several drops of oil to create a greasy film on the
surface of the water. This way the user will avoid any
measurement error due to evaporation of the water.
 Place the test tube or the beaker in the centre of the scale
platform ensuring is not in touch with the scale.
 Place the canula inside the test tube on the beaker ensuring
that it is dipped in the water.


The infusion line (needle/catheter extension) must not rest

on the scale/test tube unit.
 Press "ON" (device on mains power mode).

Prime the infusion line using the "BOLUS" key.

Check for the absence of air bubbles.
Operating mode
 Carry out a flow rate selection.


For low flow rates (< 5ml/h), confirm or wait 1 hour for infusion to stabilise. For high flow
rates, wait 10 to 30 minutes after the end of the infusion.
 Carry out the scale taring:
00.00
g.
 Start the infusion by pressing "VALIDATION", and start the
chronometer (if necessary, note the chronometer value).
 After one hour, press "STOP" to stop the test.
 Note the value (in grams) of the "infused" liquid.
 Calculate the difference between the theoretical value and
the real value.

1gram = 1ml.
 The error percentage is calculated according to the following
formula:
