vPad-IV OPERATORS MANUAL
Abbreviations and Definitions
The following abbreviations, terms and acronyms are used throughout this manual:
App Application software that causes a computer or tablet to perform tasks
for vPad product users.
Basal delivery A continuous ongoing infusion of an IV fluid delivered at a relatively low
rate. A basal infusion may be periodically interrupted for more rapid
delivery of a bolus dose of the same IV fluid or medication. See also
"bolus", "PCA" and "IV".
Bolus A single dose/delivery of medication given to a patient in a short period
of time.
Channel An identification or reference number shown by the vPad-IV app which
represents the vPad-IV Controller unit or a Module. The channel number
corresponds to a numeric readout which is on the front of the Controller
or Module.
Controller A type of vPad-IV Module which interfaces with the tablet and which
provides means for the tablet to work with up to five additional Modules
in the system. A vPad-IV system will always include at least the
Controller. See also "Module".
Data Log A text file in comma-separated variables or "CSV" format which contains
the individual measurements of time, volume, flow and/or pressure
acquired over the course of a test.
Dose A preset volume of medication or other solution to be dispensed from an
infusion device. After the dose is delivered, the infusion device will
automatically stop pumping or alternatively change to "KVO" delivery
mode. See also "KVO" and "VTBI".
DUT Device Under Test. The infusion device being tested.
IEC International Electrotechnical Commission

Oinches of water
IV intravenous
kPa kilopascals
KVO Keep-Vein-Open; an infusion delivered at a relatively low rate for
purposes of preventing a clot or other occlusion from developing at the
needle tip inside the vein.
Luer A fluid connector having male and female parts which are sometimes
threaded to provide a "lock", and which are typically found on IV sets,
syringes, and hypodermic needles; see also "Set".

mbar millibar
ml milliliter
ml/h milliliter per hour
mmHg millimeters of mercury
Module A unit which measures flow, volume, pressure and time. There may be
up to six Modules in a vPad-IV system. One of the Modules will always
be the Controller Module. See also "Channel" and "Controller".
PCA Patient-Controlled Analgesia, a method of enabling a patient to
administer their own pain relief by means of a programmable infusion
device which responds to the patient's control. An overriding delivery
schedule is programmed into the PCA pump by the prescribing clinician,
so that overdose is prevented.
Piggyback infusion A delivery schedule which may be programmed into some infusion
devices, comprising infusion of primary and secondary doses. The
piggyback delivery begins with infusion of the preset dose of secondary
medication, which is then followed by infusion of the primary medication.
See also "primary" and "secondary" dose.
Primary dose A preset amount of primary medication to be delivered as part of a
piggyback infusion. The primary medication is dispensed after the preset
dose of secondary medication has been delivered. See also "piggyback
infusion" and "secondary dose".
Priming The act of preparing a vPad-IV module for use, purging air within the
module by filling it completely with water.
psi Pounds per square inch
Occlusion pressure The maximum pressure which can be developed by an infusion device
when delivering into an IV line that has been completely blocked or
occluded. Most infusion devices will stop pumping and produce an
audio-visual alarm if the occlusion pressure limit is reached or exceeded
during a delivery.
Secondary dose The secondary medication to be delivered as part of a piggyback
infusion. The infusion device delivers the preset secondary dose first,
after which the infusion device automatically changes the rate and
begins delivery of the primary medication. See also "piggyback infusion"
and "primary dose".
Set A single-use assembly of plastic tubing through which an infusion device
will deliver medication or other solution to a patient. Sets may be specific
to the make and model of infusion device with which they are used, and
may include various components such as clamps, valves, chambers or
"cassettes" and so on.
Stopcock A tee-shaped fluid connector providing a rotatable control to connect two
of the available ports while blocking flow from the third port.

vPad-IV OPERATORS MANUAL
VTBI Volume-To-Be-Infused; a preset dose of medication or other solution to
be dispensed from an infusion device. After the VTBI is delivered, the
infusion device will automatically stop pumping or alternatively change to
"KVO" delivery mode. See also "Dose" and "KVO".

vPad-IV OPERATORS MANUAL
Symbol Definitions
The following symbols may be found on vPad-IV:
CONSULT ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTS
The Operating Manual provides valuable information on the proper use of vPad-IV. It is highlyrecommended the
operator read the instructions thoroughly before operating the device. It is possible to damage vPad-IV and/or
cause harm to the operator if vPad-IV is used incorrectly. Note that the operating manual is incorporated into the
vPad-IV app and may be accessed through the app's "Help" function.
IMPORTANT: Recommended test fluid is distilled water or clean drinking water
This label appears on the left panel of each vPad-IV Module. The test fluid recommended for use with vPad-IV
is distilled water or clean drinking water, for example, bottled water which is demineralized and not carbonated.
DO NOT use saline, dextrose, coloured fluids or opaque fluids with vPad-IV, or connect IV sets tovPad-IV which
may have been contaminated by such fluids. Failure to observe these instructions may result in damage to the
internal flow sensor which is not covered under warranty. Further instructions with respect to the test fluid may
be found in Section 3.5 of this manual. In some cases, cleaning the flow sensor may overcome the detrimental
effects of contamination by an incompatible fluid; refer to Chapter 5, Calibration and Maintenance, for further
instructions.
INPUT
Thislabellingappearsatthefluidinputonthefrontpanelofeach vPad-IVModule.Refer totheinstructionsabove
with respect to test fluids. Additionally, do not apply a pressure exceeding +2600 mmHg (50 psi or 344 kPa), or
a vacuum less than -260 mmHg (-5 psi or -34.4 kPa), to the INPUT as doing so may create a safety hazard for
the operator and/or cause damage to internal components of the Module.
CAUTION: Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
This warning appears on the serial number label of each vPad-IV Module. Users should read the Operators
Manual to determine what actions to take in the event of failure of the vPad-IV analyzer or app software. Further
instructions may be found in Section 3.6, Troubleshooting, and Chapter 5, Calibration and Maintenance.
