Infusion Pump

INFUSION PUMP may be capable of delivering fluids in large or small amounts and may be used to deliver nutrients or medications such as insulin or other hormones, antibiotics and pain relievers medicines.
An external infusion pump is a medical device used to deliver fluids into a patient’s body in a controlled manner.An infusion pump used to accurately deliver intravascular drugs, fluids, whole blood, and blood products to the patient. A linear peristaltic or piston cassette.
The applications of infusion pump: An infusion pump is used when it is otherwise impossible to treat a patient at the prescribed times and quantities, such as in minute quantities smaller than what a drip system can deliver.
The materials used in infusion pump: The pump comprises an outer titanium casing that contains the pumping mechanism along with the controller, the drug solution reservoir, and the battery. It also contains a silicone rubber septum so that it can be refilled with a needle and syringe. A silicone catheter can be channeled to the intrathecal space.
The features of infusion pump: Many infusion pumps are equipped with safety features, such as alarms or other operator alerts that are intended to activate in the event of a problem. For example, some pumps are designed to alert users when air or another blockage is detected in the tubing that delivers fluid to the patient.
The advantages of infusion pumps: Infusion pumps offer precise control over the flow rate and dosage of medications or fluids, minimizing the risk of dosage errors associated with manual administration methods. This precision is particularly crucial in critical care scenarios where even slight deviations in dosage can have significant consequences.
The principle of an infusion pump: In an elastomeric pump, fluid is held in a stretchable balloon reservoir, and pressure from the elastic walls of the balloon drives fluid delivery. In a peristaltic pump, a set of rollers pinches down on a length of flexible tubing, pushing fluid forward.
