KEYS
Six tactile-touch keys are provided for system operation:
– This key turns the unit off and on. The unit will return to the screen that was active when it
was turned off.
– In the DISPLAY MODE, these keys toggle the display through the available main
screens.
In the SELECT MODE, if a parameter has been highlighted, these keys with scroll through the
available settings.
– On the Setup screen, there are a number of parameters that may be selected and
changed. This key sequences the cursor (Highlight) through those parameters.
– This key is used to STOP any of the running flow tests or to manually reset the system if
Auto Test Reset is set to NO. (See Setup Section for more details.)
– This key toggles the unit into and out of the Setup Mode. Depressing this key will enter the
Setup screen where the configuration can be viewed and adjusted. Depressing the key again will exit the
Setup Mode and return to the previously viewed main screen.

SCREENS
MAIN SCREENS – There are four main screens: Chamber 1, Chamber 2, DUAL and Connector. The
available screens can be toggled using .
CHAMBER SCREENS
– The Chamber screens have a large time and flow rate display, as shown
below. The arrow at the top of the screen indicates the connector used for that Chamber. The level
indicator at the bottom of the screen identifies the level of water in the Chamber.

MESSAGES
Several status messages are available to indicate the present state of the system. The following is a brief
description of the available messages:
CHAMBER NOT DETECTED – This message indicates that a Chamber has not been detected.
READY FOR FLOW– This message indicates that the Chamber is reset and waiting for fluid to be
detected at the bottom sensor. As soon as fluid is detected, the timer will begin running and the test will
begin. The test ends when the fluid reaches the top sensor or when the Reset key is depressed.
FLOW RATE TOO HIGH – This message indicates that the flow rate is higher than the resolution of the
meter.
INVALID SENSOR SEQUENCE– This message indicates that water is detected at the top sensor but
not at the bottom sensor. This could be caused by either a bad sensor or a bubble in the tube.
CHAMBER NEEDS CALIBRATION– This message indicates that a Chamber has been detected, but
the calibration data stored in the Chamber is invalid. The Chamber should be returned for re-calibration.
LOW BATTERY– This message indicates that the batteries are low and should be replaced.

RUNNING A TEST
To run a flow test, the chamber must be Ready for Flow, as indicated in the base unit display (see
Messages). When the base unit is setup for Manual Reset, the key must be used to manually
reset the unit after each test. When the base unit is setup for Automatic Reset, the chamber will be
automatically reset when the water level drops below the bottom sensor.
A flow test can be started whenever the display indicates “Ready for Flow”. The flow test is started by
water being detected at the bottom sensor. Before initiating the flow on the Infusion pump under test,
ensure that the pump is programmed to deliver a sufficient amount of water to fill the chamber to the
top sensor.
NOTE: The chamber volumes of 3.5mL and 35mL are nominal; it is advised that delivery volume
should be about 4 mL and 40 mL respectively.

To optimize the performance of the SECULIFE IF+, it is recommended that a wetting agent be used to
minimize the surface tension of the test solution. The test solution should be Distilled water mixed with
“MICRO-90.” “MICRO-90” can be purchased from Cole- Parmer in a 1% solution (Part Number A-
18100-01, www.coleparmer.com, 1-800-323-4340). Further dilute the “MICRO –90” by using one part
of “MICRO-90” to 10 parts of Distilled water. If foaming becomes a problem, dilute the “MICRO-90” to a
20:1 solution.
The sheeting action of the test solution has a minor effect on test results. It is recommended to discard
the first reading of a device under test. Run the test and then repeat the test. Only record data from the
second test.
Any droplets remaining in the chamber after a test run will affect the accuracy of the test results.
Adjust the drain rate to minimize the droplets.

CAUTION - FLUID
Only distilled water should be used in the
chambers with the SECULIFE IF+. Do not use tap
water, glucose or any other fluid; this will cause
the tubing to become contaminated.
