NOTE:

The remaining testing procedures should be performed using a 50- or 100-ml Medication Cassette reservoir containing fluid and a primed extension set with anti-siphon valve or a primed CADD® administration set with anti-siphon valve.

Starting/Stopping the Pump

•Check the STOP/START key by pressing it. “Start the Pump?” should be displayed. Press the Y key. The display should show “Starting Pump” followed by a review of the pro- grammed parameters. The main screen should appear with “RUNNING” in the display, and the green LED indicator light should blink every 3 seconds.

•To stop the device, press the STOP/START key. When the message “Stop the Pump?” appears, press Y. STOPPED appears in the display and the amber LED indicator light blinks.

Activation Timing Check

•Check the activation timing by programming the pump with the following values:

Reservoir Volume:

1.0 ml

Units:

Milligrams

Concentration:

1.0 mg/ml

Continuous Rate:

30.0 mg/hr

Demand Dose:

0.0 mg

Milligrams Given:

0.0 mg (press the

 

ENTER key to clear)

•Press the STOP/START key. Press the Y key. “Starting Pump” should appear on the display. The pump should sequentially dis- play all of the programmed values. Start a timer at the first motor activation.

•Count the activations. One activation should occur every twelve seconds. Approximately one minute fifty seconds (1:50) and ten activations later, the RES VOL alarm should occur. The display should show “Reservoir Volume is Zero” with a Milligrams Given of 1.0 mg.

DOSE Key Check

•Check the DOSE key operation by program- ming the pump with the following values:

Reservoir Volume:

10.0 ml

Units:

Milligrams

Concentration:

1.0 mg/ml

Continuous Rate:

0.0 mg/hr

Demand Dose:

1.0 mg

Demand Dose Lockout: 0 hrs 5 min

Max Doses Per Hour:

12

Dose Counters:

0/0 (Press the

 

ENTER key to clear)

Milligrams Given:

0.0 mg (Press the

 

ENTER key to clear)

•Press the STOP/START key. Press the Y key. The pump should sequentially display all of the programmed values.

•After RUNNING appears on the display, press the DOSE key and note the time. The pump should beep twice and begin to deliver. Count the number of pump activations. The pump should make ten double activations. After ten double activations, the display should show a reservoir volume of 9.0 ml. Press the DOSE key two more times within the next 5 minutes. The pump should not deliver and the message “Dose Not Deliv- ered Dose Locked Out” should be displayed.

Remote Dose Cord Check (if applicable)

•Wait 5 minutes after the dose given above; then, instead of pressing the DOSE key, press the button on the Remote Dose cord. The pump should make ten double activations. After ten double activations, the display should show a reservoir volume of 8.0 ml. Press the DOSE key two more times within the next 5 minutes. The pump should not deliver and the message “Dose Not Deliv- ered Dose Locked Out” should be displayed.

Doses Given and Doses Attempted Check

•Stop the pump by pressing the STOP/START key, then the Y key. Use the NEXT key to advance to the Dose Counters screen. The display should show 2/6, if the DOSE key and Remote Dose cord were tested. If only the DOSE key was tested, the display will show 1/3. (If the above steps have not been followed exactly, different values may appear.)
