medTester 5000C
Operators Manual
10-2
Use the CUSTOM / AUTOSEQ / IVPUMP / TYPE menu path to configure the
medTester for a specific IV pump analyzer.
1. Press a function key to select the desired type:
F1
(
IDA 4P
);
F2
(
IPT-1
);
F3
(
IPT-MC
); or
F4
(
INFUTEST
). The selection is displayed.
2. Press
F5
(
STORE
) to store the selection in non-volatile EEPROM
memory. From this point, all customized autosequences will be for
the selected IV Pump analyzer.
3. After changing the IV Pump analyzer type, reinitialize IV Pump
autosequences, or customize them so that they are compatible with
the test device designated. See “Reinitialize Factory Default Settings”
(page 150 ).
Basic Test Format
Each step in an autosequence performs a flow test. There are various types of
flow tests depending on the IV pump analyzer. The types, flow rate, accuracy
limits, and end type for the steps are programmed into the autosequence.
For each step, after the flow test, you can run an optional pressure test, which
measures the peak occlusion pressure and the elapsed time to reach the peak.
IV Pump Analyzers
You can use any of four Fluke Biomedical IV pump analyzers to run IV
pump tests. Please refer to the analyzer operator's manual for more
information. Note that the medTester can only be configured for one type of
IV pump analyzer at a time, the IDA 4 Plus, the Infutest 2000 Series D, the
IPT-1, or the IPT-MC. All autosequences stored by initialization,
customization, or remote download will only work with the instrument for
which they were designed.
IDA 4 Plus
The IDA 4 Plus can run three types of tests: single-rate, dual-rate, or PCA
(patient controlled analgesia). Even though the IDA 4 can run up to 4
channels simultaneously, the medTester 5000C is only able to control one
channel. When customizing autosequences for the IDA 4 Plus, follow the
instructions for the Infutest in the medTester 5000C Operators Manual. The
factory-default autosequences for the IDA 4 Plus are also the same as for the
Infutest.
