Pressure Test (Infutest, IPT-1, IPT-MC and IDA 4 Plus)
• After completing the flow test, the autosequence continues by offering to
perform a pressure test. The pressure test measures the peak occlusion
pressure and the elapsed time to reach the peak. Press F1 YES to run the
pressure test or F2 NO to skip it and go to the next flow test step.
• The pressure test runs the same for all IV pump analyzers. The IV pump
analyzer must be primed in the same manner as for the flow test. Then
press F5 START to start the pressure test.
• The IV pump analyzer occludes (blocks) the IV line, measures the
pressure developed and notifies the medTester. The medTester displays
the pressure (PRESSURE=) in psi (pounds per square inch) and mmhg
(millimeters of mercury). The medTester keeps track of the peak pressure,
which is the highest pressure encountered during the test, and displays it
(PK=) also in PSI and mmHg. The medTester also displays the elapsed
time (ET=).
• Allow the test to run long enough for the IV pump to sense the
occlusion, alarm, and to shut off, and for the pressure to decrease below
the peak. Press
F5
END to finish the pressure test.
• The final display gives you the peak pressure level. The
@
sign (with a
time reading) indicates the time when the peak pressure was reached.
• You can repeat the pressure test by pressing
F4
. To continue with the next
step in this autosequence, press
F5
.
Note
The remaining steps in this and other IV pump autosequences
follow the same sequence described here. Consult the table IV
Pump Autosequence Tests to see the steps in each autosequence. At
the end of the last step, the medTester 5000C proceeds to the
posttest prompts.
