Infusion Pump Flow Rate Tester

Main Uses of the Infusion Set Flow Rate Tester

The infusion set flow rate tester is an instrument specifically designed for measuring and monitoring the flow rate of infusion sets. Its main uses include: - **Flow Rate Measurement**: Precisely measure the flow rate of the infusion set, usually displayed in milliliters per hour (ml/h) or drops per minute (gtt/min). - **Flow Monitoring**: Monitor the changes in flow rate in real - time during the infusion process, and promptly detect abnormal flow rate situations, such as the flow rate being too fast, too slow, or blocked, to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the infusion process. - **Alarm Function**: When the infusion flow rate exceeds the set normal range, the tester can emit audible and visual alarm signals to remind medical staff to take timely action and avoid potential medical risks. - **Data Recording and Storage**: Record and store information such as flow rate data and time during the infusion process, which is convenient for medical staff to view and analyze, and helps track and evaluate the patient's infusion treatment.

Technical Parameters

The technical parameters of the infusion set flow rate tester may vary depending on the model and brand, but the following are some common parameter ranges: - **Testing Range**: The flow rate testing range is usually wide to adapt to different types and specifications of infusion sets. For example, the testing range of some testers may reach 1 - 2000ml (varying according to the specifications of the catheter). - **Testing Accuracy**: The tester usually has a high accuracy to ensure the accuracy of test results. The accuracy of flow rate measurement may reach ± a certain percentage or ± a certain value (such as ±5ml/h or ±0.1gtt/min, etc.). - **Static Water Level Height**: The adjustable range of the static pressure head is usually between 0 - 1000mm to meet the requirements under different testing conditions. - **Temperature Control Range**: The tester may be equipped with a temperature - control function to simulate the infusion situation under different temperature conditions. The temperature - control range is usually between 5 - 90°C. - **Fixtures**: Adapt to various catheters and are customized according to catheter specifications to ensure that the tester can firmly hold infusion sets of different specifications for testing. - **Flow Calculation**: The tester may use the weighing method or other methods for flow calculation to ensure the accurate measurement of flow. - **Alarm Threshold**: The tester usually allows users to set the alarm threshold, and the alarm is triggered when the flow rate exceeds the set range.
