Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for dynamic calibration and correction of the stroke volume of a pump. During a fluid processing procedure, the change in volume of a fluid in a container associated with a volume measurement system is calculated for a plurality of time periods. The standard deviation of the plurality of changes in volume is calculated, with it being determined that the volume measurement system is operating correctly when the standard deviation is below a target threshold. Upon determining that the volume measurement system is operating correctly, the stroke volume of the pump is calculated and a target change in volume of the fluid in the container is compared to an actual change in volume. When there is a difference between the two changes in volume, a correction factor is calculated, with the operation of the pump being adjusted based at least in part on the correction factor.
