ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for automatically testing an infusion pump is provided with a pump tester adapted to be coupled to an infusion pump for performing a plurality of tests on the pump. The pump tester performs a first type of test on the pump and a second type of test on the pump. The testing apparatus automatically causes the infusion pump to undergo an operation sequence in which the infusion pump pumps liquid during the performance of at least one of the tests. Whereas the normal operation of the infusion pump is controlled by an infusion pump input device which is capable of generating a plurality of electronic signals in response to manual activation of the input device by a user, the pump tester automatically causes the infusion pump to undergo its operation during testing may include generating a plurality of testing commands. Each of the pump tester testing commands emulates one of the electronic signals which the infusion pump input device is capable of generating, and the pump tester transmits the testing commands to the infusion pump under test.
