<p>An apparatus for automatically testing an infusion pump (16) is provided with a pump tester (12) adapted to be coupled to an infusion pump (16) for performing a plurality of tests on the pump. The pump tester (12) includes means (310, 320, 330, 340 or 350) for performing a first type of test on the pump (16) and means (310, 320, 330, 340 or 350) for performing a second type of test on the pump (16). The testing apparatus has means for automatically causing the infusion pump to undergo an operation sequence in which the infusion pump (16) pumps liquid during the performance of at least one of the tests. Where the normal operation of the infusion pump (16) is controlled by an infusion pump input device (110) which is capable of generating a plurality of electronic signals in response to manual activation of the input device (110) by a user, the means for automatically causing the infusion pump to undergo operation during testing may include means for generating a plurality of testing commands, each of which emulates one of the electronic signals which the infusion pump input device (110) is capable of generating, and means for transmitting the testing commands to the infusion pump (16).</p> |
