Calibration of infusion device analysers

Project Description

The purpose of this comparison is to verify the agreement of results and uncertainties in the calibration of an Infusion Device Analyser.
These instruments are used to verify the accuracy of drug delivery devices by the users or maintenance officers in the hospitals.

The laboratories should follow the new version of the EURAMET Calibration Guide No. 27 "Calibration of Drug Delivery Devices and Infusion Device Analysers".

The technical protocol can be downloaded here>>.

The purpose of this comparison was to verify the agreement of results and uncertainties in the calibration of an Infusion Device Analyser (IDA) by 4 different NMIs.

The measurements results from all participants, in all points, are consistent with the comparison reference values and have En values lower than 1.

This was the first comparison in the field of the calibration of an IDA and had the purpose of validating the new version of EURAMET Calibration Guide No. 27.
The obtained results allow the validation of the calibration procedure described in this guide for this type of instrument used to verify the accuracy of drug delivery devices by the users or maintenance officers in the hospitals.
