1. Name—This is the name you want to give to the autosequence,
with a maximum of six characters.
2. Flow Tests—Up to 10 steps. The tests available are different for
each of the IV pump analyzers:
Infutest
For Infutest, there are 3 types of tests available. First select the test type,
SINGLE, DUAL, or PCA:
For a Single Rate Test:
1. FLOW RATE: Enter the nominal flow rate, 0000.1 to 0999.0
ml/hr.
2. RATE HIGH LIMIT: Enter the high limit for the flow rate.
0000.0 turns off high limit checking.
3. RATE LOW LIMIT: Enter the low limit for the flow rate. 0000.0
turns off low limit checking.
4. TEST END TYPE: Select
5. MANUAL to end the test by pressing a key.
6. TIMED to end the test after a programmed time:
7. END TIME: Enter the elapsed time that will end the
test, 00:01 to 99:59 (hours:minutes).
8. VOLUME to end the test after a specific volume.
9. END VOLUME: Enter the volume that will end the
test, 0000.1 to 9999.0 ml.
For a Dual Rate Test:
NOTE:
In a dual rate test, the first infusion, which is the faster rate is
known as the secondary rate. The second infusion, which is the
slower rate is known as the primary rate. The secondary rate
must be at least 5 times faster than the primary rate. Since
measurements use the low flow range on the Infutest, the
maximum secondary rate is 170 ml/hr (average) or 200 ml/hr
(peak-instantaneous). A minimum of 1.0 ml must be measured
in the secondary rate test.
1. SECONDARY FLOW RATE: Enter the nominal flow rate,
0000.1 to 0999.0 ml/hr.
