3. Secure the slide clamp as close to the extension set Luer lock connector<br />
as possible. This should assure a minimum water loss from<br />
the tubing when the syringe is removed.<br />
4. Weigh the entire Medication Cassette Reservoir/extension set and<br />
record the weight. This is the predelivery weight. (This weight<br />
includes the empty Medication Cassette Reservoir, extension set,<br />
and weight of the water.)<br />
5. Attach the cassette to the pump. Program the Reservoir Volume to<br />
20 ml. Now press ¤. This value is the intended delivery volume.<br />
(1 ml of water at 20°C weighs 1 gram.) Remove the slide clamp.<br />
6. With the pump in Lock Level 0, program a Continuous Rate of 125<br />
ml/hr. Start the pump and wait for the reservoir volume empty<br />
alarm. The pump will deliver 20 ml.<br />
7. Again, secure the slide clamp as close as possible to end of the<br />
extension set Luer lock connector. Remove the cassette from the<br />
pump and weigh the entire Medication Cassette Reservoir/extension<br />
set assembly. This is the postdelivery weight.<br />
8. Calculate the difference in weight between the predelivery weight<br />
and the postdelivery weight. This is the weight of the amount<br />
delivered.<br />
9. Find the difference between the volume of the amount delivered<br />
and the intended delivery volume. This is the inaccuracy volume.<br />
10. Divide the inaccuracy volume by the intended delivery volume and<br />
multiply by 100. This is the accuracy error percentage.<br />
11. If the accuracy error percentage is greater than ± 6%, repeat the<br />
test with a new Medication Cassette Reservoir. If the pump fails<br />
a second time, call <strong>Smiths</strong> <strong>Medical</strong> MD, Inc. or <strong>Smiths</strong> <strong>Medical</strong><br />
