mcg/kg/min infusion converted to pump mL/h: pump ceiling comparison · case 02

A rate of exactly 999.9 mL/h is reported as exceeding the pump.

Case contract

Input {dose (mcg/kg/min), weight_kg, drug_mg, bag_ml}. Concentration = drug_mg*1000/bag_ml mcg/mL. Rate mL/h = dose*weight*60/concentration, rounded half-up to 0.1 mL/h. Pump accepts 0.1-999.9 mL/h: a rounded rate above 999.9 returns status EXCEEDS_PUMP, a rounded rate of 0.0 returns BELOW_RESOLUTION; otherwise status OK with rate_ml_h. conc_mcg_ml is always reported.

Why this case matters

Weight-based infusion programming is a classic unit-conversion fault surface: mg vs mcg, per-minute vs per-hour, and pump resolution limits.
