5. Program a Continuous Rate of 125 ml/hr. Start the pump and wait<br />
for the reservoir volume empty alarm.<br />
6. When delivery is complete, record the volume of fluid delivered.<br />
This is the actual delivery volume.<br />
7. Find the difference between the volume of the amount delivered<br />
and the intended delivery volume. This is the inaccuracy volume.<br />
8. Divide the inaccuracy volume by the intended delivery volume and<br />
multiply by 100. This is the accuracy error percentage.<br />
9. 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 />
International Ltd.<br />
Example: Actual Delivery Volume: 19.5 ml<br />
Intended Delivery Volume: – 20.0 ml<br />
Inaccuracy Volume: = –0.5 ml<br />
Inaccuracy Volume: –0.5 ml<br />
Intended Delivery Volume: ÷ 20.0 ml<br />
Accuracy Error: = –0.025<br />
Accuracy Error: -0.025<br />
× 100.00<br />
Accuracy Error Percentage: = –2.5%<br />
