摘要:
Tilting of a drip chamber from its vertical axis during fluid administration can have negative effects upon the accuracy of systems configured for drop counting and/or for volumetric measurement of individual drops passing through the drip chamber. To address these negative effects, in accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure, a fluid delivery system engages in a fluid control process that comprises determining an error parameter, based at least in part on a tilt signal, generating an error condition, and either holding the fluid flow at the present rate or stopping the flow.
