Section 5: Reference<br />

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 />
