• Operating Temperature

  Accufuser systems are calibrated to deliver solution at the labeled nominal flow rate when the temperature of the infusate in the distal end (Accufuser) or bolus button (Accufuser Plus) is 32° C (89.6° F) [normal skin temperature]. The flow rate increases approximately 1% per 0.56° C (1° F) increase in temperature

• Fluid Viscosity

  Accufuser systems are calibrated using 5% dextrose in water (D5W) as the infusate. Flow rate increases as fluid viscosity decreases (e.g., using sterile water as the diluent will increase the flow rate by approximately 10%)

• Head Height

  Accufuser systems are calibrated with zero head height. Increased head height will cause increased flow rate (e.g., + 17"/+43 cm of head height will increase flow rate by approximately 12%)
