Therapeutic Devices : Syringe Pump NAME, BRAND, MODEL AND DEFINITION Syringe pump is medical devices that deliver

fluids into a patients body in controlled manner (amounts and time or rate). The fluids including nutrients and medications such as antibiotics, chemotheraphy drugs and pain relievers.

This is one type of syringe pump The brand of this device is Terumo

Syringe pump functioned to infuse fluids, medications or nutrients into patient circulatory system. Administer fluids in ways that would be impractically unreliable if performed manually by nursing staff. Precaution o o o o o o o Read the users manual No user serviceable parts are inside Disconnect power from the pump when connecting or disconnecting cables Do not immerse the pump in the fluid Install on a stable surface Keeps hand and loose clothing away from the pumps moving parts Prevent liquids from entering openings in the rear of the pump

Display for safe parameter settings

In order to avoid reading mistakes and misprogramming of the flow rate, the difference between the digits and the decimal places is clearly marked by an orange coloured decimal point and an apparent difference in size. Unique dial setting

The ergonomically designed dial helps to eliminate mistakes whilst making settings. It allows you to reach the setting easily and in a more evident manner. Fast and easy placement of the syringe

Syringes of different sizes can be easily placed in the pump. Just place the syringe in the pump and move the slider against the plunger of the syringe. As soon as the clutch is released, the plunger is held firmly by the slider hooks Solid design

Especially during patient transportation,it is important to have a system which is designed to minimize the risk of breaking.Therefore, it is a big advantage to have the

Terumo syringe pumps where the slider is always staying inside the borders of the pump casing. Clear alarm monitor

This monitor centralizes information about the operation status and nature of the alarm. The status can easily be seen on the pump, without having to enter menus. A pressure monitor is incorporated in the alarm monitor to follow the pressure variance constantly. A large, bright Operation Indicator features a unique flow-proportional indication for intuitive monitoring of the flow. With its omnidirectional view, it enhances safety in terms of flow rate setting (green turning), Stand-by Mode (green flashing) and alarm status (red). Place of this device 1. 2. 3. 4.

Instructions on how to use Syringe Pump 1.Insert the syringe into the vial of medicine. Invert the vial so it is upside down and pull the plunger back until the appropriate amount of medicine is drawn. For example, if the prescription calls for 60mm per 24 hours, pull the plunger back until the stopper is at the 60mm mark. 2.Set the correct rate by adjusting the mm dial on the syringe driver. The correct dosage, for example, 60mm should appear on the display. Adjust time dial to display the correct number of hours, for example, 24. 3.Connect the prime line to the syringe by pushing the line over the end of the syringe. 4.Open the cover on the back of the driver and insert the appropriate battery. An alarm should sound to indicate you have been successful. 5.Hold the start/boost button, located on the front of the driver, for 8 seconds. Release the button after you hear an alarm. 6.Confirm that the indicator light (located next to the hour display) is flashing. If it is not flashing, you need a new battery.

7.Pull the actuator, located on the top of the driver, until it can't be pulled anymore. Lay the syringe horizontally on top of the driver. Press the white button on the actuator and slide it until it rests on the top of the syringe plunger. 8.Use the rubber securing strap, on the top of the driver, to secure the syringe. 9.Insert the cannula, the needle on the end of the prime line, subcutaneously in the upper chest or arm. 10.Cover the area of insertion with film dressing.
