Field Occlusion Test for Sapphire™ Multi-therapy, Epidural and PCA 6.5
Test Process 6.5.1
Upstream Occlusion Upstream occlusion is set to a fixed value of 0.4 bar (5.8 psi) in the pump, hence no occlusion parameters settings are needed for this part (see table 1). Start the infusion and allow the pump to run uninterrupted for at least 2 minutes. Clamp the IV tube 30 cm (11.8”) upstream of the pump, wait for the pump to pause and sound the alarm (less than a minute). Table 1 - Multi-therapy Upstream Occlusion Test Acceptance Criteria
Pass/Fail
Sounds an alarm
6.5.2
Downstream Occlusion Start the infusion and allow the pump to run uninterrupted for at least 2 minutes. Reset the pressure meter; resulting in zero pressure reading. Connect the 5 mL fully extended syringe (filled with air) to the free end of the opened valve (see figure 3). Gradually push the syringe piston, causing a build in pressure. Keep the pressure in the value ranges described in “Syringe induced pressure” of table 2 until the pump pauses and sounds the alarm (up to 40 seconds) and record it. In case an alarm does not initiate, increase the pressure (stay within the acceptance criteria values) and wait another 40 seconds.
