Medical Device Simulators
Infusion Pump
Delivered volume from a set flow rate: V = Q·t, with flow deviation and pause scenarios.
Medical Device Simulators
Why these controls?
Target volume and flow rate set the plan: expected time = V ÷ Q. The deviation checkbox adds a realistic pump accuracy error, and the pause checkbox shows that a stopped pump delivers nothing while the session clock keeps running.
Expected completion
5.00 h
Actual flow
50.0 mL/h
Completion with deviation
5.00 h
Delivered at end
250 mL
Solid line: intended volume (set flow). Simulation stops when the target volume is reached.
Formula, units and assumptions
V = Q · t — with Q in mL/hour and t in hours, V is in mL. Expected completion time: t = V / Q = 250 / 50 = 5.00 h.
- Constant set flow; actual flow = set flow × (1 + deviation/100).
- During a pause the delivered volume does not change.
- The pump stops when its own (intended) reading reaches the target volume.
This model represents fluid delivery only. It does not compute drug dose, pharmacokinetics, or any clinical treatment quantity.
