Occlusion Pressure Range Tests<br />

Occlusion Pressure Range Test I<br />

Description<br />

Pressure is generated by activating the pumping mechanism with an<br />

attached filled, clamped Medication Cassette Reservoir. The pump is<br />

started and fluid is injected until the high pressure alarm sounds.<br />

Equipment needed<br />

50 or 100 ml Medication Cassette Reservoir containing distilled water<br />

1-ml syringe<br />

Procedure<br />

1. Insert 2 AA batteries or turn pump on and wait for the pump to<br />

power up.<br />

2. Attach a Medication Cassette Reservoir containing water to the<br />

pump.<br />

3. Prime the Medication Cassette Reservoir tubing. The tubing<br />

should be filled with fluid to the end of the Luer lock connector.<br />

The system must be free from air bubbles for this test.<br />

4. Withdraw the plunger of the empty 1-ml syringe to the 1.0-ml<br />

marking. Now attach the syringe to the end of the Medication<br />

Cassette Reservoir tubing.<br />

5. Start the pump.<br />

6. When the pump is running, slowly depress the plunger of the syringe,<br />

noting when the High Pressure alarm is activated.<br />

7. The pump should alarm when the syringe is between 0.5 and<br />

0.1 ml.
