Flow rate and skin contact guide

■ We tested the pumps with the patient connector kept at 23°C instead of 32°C, as you see, 32°C is the standard test condition specified in our procedure and IFU.

Under this condition, the flow rate was approximately 10% slower than the standard condition.

As stated in our IFU, the micro-channel should be kept in contact with the patient’s skin during use, since our flow rate specification is based on testing with the flow restrictor maintained at 32°C.

I think you already know the below conditons.

■ Flow rate changes by approximately 2% for every 1°C change in temperature.

■ Flow rate increases by approximately 2% for every 10 cm increase in height relative to the infusion site.
