9- 6 9) SpecificationsTRUMPET CURVESThe Trumpet Curve Graphs following the Example showrepresentative maximum and minimum percent flow rate deviationfrom the programmed rate over time. This information wasdeveloped in accordance with IEC 60601-2-24: 1998, Sub-Clause50.102. Refer to this standard for detailed information.How to read a Trumpet Curve Graph (Refer to example on thefollowing page): The graphs following the Example plot flow rates at30 second intervals for the first 2 hours and for the 96th hour ofdelivery. The graph plots mean delivery rate error (Average of 3infusers) for the 2nd hour and the 96th hour as a straight line. Thegraph also presents maximum and minimum average delivery rateerror for this interval plotted by averaging delivery errors overintervals of 2, 5, 11, 19 and 31 minutes (“Trumpet Curve”).EXAMPLEFrom the Trumpet Curve Graph sample that follows, find the 5minute interval (A) at the horizontal axis and read thecorresponding points (B) and (C) on the vertical axis. The valuesare approximately +2.8% and -0.5%.This means that at the rate of 25 mL/hr the average maximum flowrate fluctuation for any 5 minute time interval during the 2nd hour ofoperation was within the limits of +2.8% and -0.5% from thenominal rate. The average delivery rate error over the entire 2ndhour was +1.6% (D).430-95215-003 (Rev. 10/05)
