Flow rate data recorded at 21°C using 20ml of 0.9% NS. An overall accuracy of ±8% is expected at
these values. At higher temperatures, which results in a decrease in viscosity, a higher flow rate is
anticipated to occur. The flow rate variation due to changes in temperature is approximately linear
and would vary from -20% at 14°C to +20% at 30°C. Fluids considerably more viscous than 0.9% NS
are expected to slow the flow rate and consequently may result in longer infusion times. More
viscous fluids may be tested before patient use by following the bench test procedures described
in this manual.
