8.3 Start-up and Trumpet Curves
The start-up curve represents the change in flow rate over a certain period of time, and the
trumpet curve shows the evolution of the minimum and maximum variance of the extension line,
syringe and pump combination.
The following graphs are obtained from the tests performed with the system consisting of syringe
pump and Come Sure 50ml syringe. The fluid used is distilled water.
These tests were conducted in accordance with IEC60601-2-24 requirements.
The results may not be very close to those obtained in clinic because of the variations in extension
lines, syringes, physical properties of infused fluid, and the environment etc. The error in flow
accuracy caused by such variations may be larger than 5%
