Programmer/testers designed for noninvasively testing and/or changing (i.e., programming) the pumping program of an implanted paracentesis pump. These devices typically consist of a computerized unit, including a wireless transceiver that can interact with the implanted pump, sending programming signals to the pump and receiving status information from it. Implantable paracentesis pump programmer/testers are used during patient checkup to test and/or change the rate/frequency of ascitic fluid aspiration; they are usually appropriate only for a particular type of implantable paracentesis pump.
