Air-In-Line Detectors Help To Maintain Patient Safety
Don’t purchase a syringe pump that has only one failure point because you don’t want a pump that simply stops working. You want a pump that can shut itself down in the event that there is a safety risk such as an error that prevents it from delivering fluids properly.
Battery Backup Power Is A Necessity For Medical Providers
It’s important that the syringe pump has a backup power system. While they are usually powered by the hospital’s grid, medical facilities may have a power outage. In that event, the patient’s need continues, so be sure to purchase a pump with a battery backup feature. Also, you should have enough spare batteries at the ready for each machine.
Pressure “Up/Down” Sensors Keep Staff In The Loop
Pressure sensors are excellent features for several reasons. The “down” sensor will alert staff if there is a blockage of some sort—a line or a vein—so staff can correct it quickly and avert medication interruption. An “up” sensor is key as it gives attending staff an audible alert that the bag is being squeezed or is becoming empty and either situation needs attention urgently.
Points Of Failure Can Impact Overall Patient Care
Don’t purchase a syringe pump that has only one failure point because you don’t want a pump that simply stops working. You want a pump that can shut itself down in the event that there is a safety risk such as an error that prevents it from delivering fluids properly.
IV Infusion Pumps Have Several Practical Applications
They are treating conditions that need exact amounts of drugs and fluids administered. This includes antibiotics for infections. These pumps are also suitable for delivering dextrose solution for hypoglycemia. In addition, several clinics internationally use these pumps for neonates who need ongoing care, according to the United Nations Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF).
