Standardized Protocol

How It Works

1

Connect Pump

Attach standard IV administration line or syringe to Multi-Flo Luer-lock inlet port with prime solution.

2

Select Test

Choose flow rate test, PCA bolus volume check, or inline occlusion pressure limit sequence from menu.

3

Run Flow Test

Start pump delivery; optical displacement sensors record real-time instantaneous flow rate and cumulative volume.

4

Verify Occlusion

Measure pressure rise time and peak occlusion pressure before pump safety cut-off alarm triggers.

5

Export Results

Sync recorded data to MED-eBase software to generate trumpet curves and formal calibration certificates.

Core Verification Capabilities

Key Infusion Tests

Flow Rate Accuracy

Verifies delivery rates down to 0.01 mL/hr for micro-infusion syringe pumps and high-volume infusion rates up to 1500 mL/hr.

Occlusion Pressure

Measures upstream and downstream line blockage threshold pressure to ensure patient safety against vein damage or line disconnects.

Bolus Delivery Volume

Captures Patient-Controlled Analgesia (PCA) bolus shot volumes, delivery speeds, and post-occlusion bolus release quantities.

Trumpet Curve Analysis

Generates standardized trumpet curves showing short-term flow rate fluctuations and long-term delivery percentage errors per IEC 60601-2-24.

Low-Flow Monitoring

Specialized micro-flow detection ensures stable medication flow in neonatal care units and critical drug dosage environments.

Automated Data Logging

Stores up to 24 hours of continuous flow curve data internally for subsequent download into hospital CMMS databases.

FAQ Helpdesk

Frequently Asked Questions

Why test infusion pumps?
Infusion pumps deliver critical intravenous medications, anesthetics, and chemotherapy drugs directly into patient bloodstreams. Regular testing verifies flow rate accuracy, cumulative volume delivery, and occlusion pressure alarm thresholds to prevent under-dosing, over-dosing, or line blockages.
The primary international standard is IEC 60601-2-24, which governs the basic safety and essential performance of medical infusion pumps and controllers, specifying exact requirements for flow measurement, trumpet curve generation, and occlusion pressure safety limits.
Healthcare guidelines and hospital PM schedules typically require annual or bi-annual preventative maintenance testing. In addition, pumps should be re-tested following any mechanical maintenance, calibration adjustment, or software update.
A trumpet curve is a graphical representation required by IEC 60601-2-24 that illustrates a pump’s delivery error over varying observation time windows (e.g., 2, 5, 11, 19, and 31 minutes). It illustrates short-term flow fluctuations versus long-term volumetric accuracy.
