Overview
 Simultaneous testing of multiple
infusion pumps.
The IDA 4Plus Multi-Channel Infusion
Device Analyzer decreases total testing
time for all types of infusion pumps.
Each channel operates independently so a
multiple variety of pump types including
volumetric, syringe, and PCAs can be
evaluated simultaneously for volume/flow
and occlusion pressures. The auto start
feature simplifies the testing of high
volume pumps or others without startup
characteristics. The Instantaneous flow
measurement and 60 microliter resolution
takes the complexity out of flow output
analysis for faulty infusion devices.
The oversized numbers on the brilliant
graphics display allows the user to
monitor values across the room.
Operational Description:
Flow/volume: Use this mode when
testing an infusion device that pumps or
controls a single rate until a volume to
be infused is complete. The instrument
continuously samples the volume as the
fluid is infused. The sample size varies
based on the flow rate; the minimum
sample size is 60 microliter. The
flow/volume test is used to verify
peristaltic and syringe pumps. Apply a
back pressure on the output port to
evaluate the pump’s performance with a
back pressure. The IDA 4Plus displays
this pressure in the View screen.
Dual flow: This mode is used to
verify the correct operation of the
piggyback or ramped output of an
infusion pump. A ratio of xx:x between
the secondary and primary flow rates is
required to obtain accurate results. The
primary, secondary, and instantaneous
flow rates along with the primary and
secondary volumes are displayed.
PCA tests: This mode fully
analyzes the output from a Patient
Controlled Analgesia (PCA) pump. A basal
rate setting between 0 and 30 ml/hr and
minimum bolus size of 0.5 ml provides
means to perform comprehensive tests on
PCA pumps.
Pressure: Set the infusion pump
to the manufacturer's recommended flow
rate and select occlusion on the IDA
4Plus. Measurements will be displayed in
mmHg, psi, or kPa. This measures the
downstream occlusion on the infusion
pump.
Priming: Priming the IDA 4Plus
is a simple technique using an enclosed
syringe. Generally, this task can be
done with less than 5 ml of fluid,
depending on the priming solution.
Hydrograph Graphics Software:
Use the moving color visual advantage of
Hydrograph to troubleshoot up to 4
infusion pumps at once. Data is taken
directly off the transducer and
transmitted to Hydrograph. The flowing
graphs provide an electronic means to
display, store, and recall flow patterns
for comparison at a later date. Each
test window can display instantaneous
and average flow rates, cumulative and
bolus volumes, and occlusion pressure.
