SET INFUSION RATE – SIMPLIFIED METHOD (WITHOUT RULER)
To determine the infusion rate of the syringe without
1) Load the empty syringe on the pump as instruction (refer to previous page
load syringe)
2) Note the reading of the pump’s cursor location. (E.g. 6mm on the pump scale)
3) Move the syringe by holding the syringe driver head by 1 ml according to the
reading on the syringe.
4) Note the reading of the pump’s cursor location. (E.g. 10 mm on the pump scale).
5) Calculate the difference on the pump’s scale reading.
(E.g. 10 mm - 6 mm = 4 mm). The difference is the conversion factor between mm
and ml of the current loaded syringe per ml. (E.g. 4 mm - 1 ml, the conversion
factor is 4 mm/ml)
6) Set the desired infusion rate by Formula : Conversion factor x desired ml/hr rate.
(E.g. If the desired driving rate is 10 ml/hr, then the equivalent rate on the pump
is 4 mm/ml x 10ml/hr - 40 mm/hr. Therefore, set the driving rate to be: 4 0 on
the pump)
