Frequently Asked Question

1. What is the flow rate range of the infusion pump, and why is it important?

The infusion pump supports a flow rate range of 0.1 to 1500 ml/hr. This wide range allows clinicians to administer fluids and medications precisely at slow or fast rates, depending on the treatment protocol. Lower rates are suitable for pediatric or sensitive infusions, while higher rates can be used for emergency or high-volume scenarios.

2. How do I set the Volume To Be Infused (VTBI), and what are the increment options?

VTBI (Volume To Be Infused) is the total volume of fluid the pump is programmed to deliver. For volumes 0.1 to 999.9 ml, you can adjust in 0.1 ml increments. For volumes 1000 to 9999 ml, the increment is 1 ml. This flexibility allows for both micro- and macro-infusion programming, ensuring high accuracy across various clinical situations.

3. What is the drop rate range, and how does it affect the infusion?

The drop rate is adjustable from 1 to 400 drops per minute. This setting is used when the infusion set requires calibration based on drip factor (gtt/ml). It’s particularly useful in gravity-fed systems or when drop-based administration is preferred over volumetric flow.

4. Can this infusion pump deliver a bolus dose?

Yes. The pump supports a bolus infusion rate ranging from 0.10 to 1500 ml/hr. A bolus dose allows a rapid delivery of a specific volume of medication or fluid, often used in critical care settings or pain management. The bolus can be administered manually or programmed based on clinical need.

5. What is the purge function, and what is the purge rate?

The purge function is used to clear air from the IV line or to prime the tubing before starting an infusion. This pump offers a purge rate of 600 ml/hr, which ensures quick line priming and efficient flow establishment before patient connection.

6. What medications can be administered with an infusion pump?

Infusion pumps can deliver antibiotics, chemotherapy, insulin, pain medications, and more, depending on the patient's treatment needs.

7. Are infusion pumps safe?

Yes, when used correctly. They include safety features like alarms, occlusion sensors, and automatic shutoff to prevent dosing errors.

8. Can infusion pumps be used for pediatric or neonatal patients?

Yes. Syringe pumps and specialized pediatric settings are used for precise, low-volume delivery, making them suitable for infants and children.

9. What happens if the pump alarms?

Alarms indicate issues like occlusion, empty reservoir, air in line, or battery low. Follow your facility’s protocol to resolve the issue safely.

10. Do infusion pumps require calibration?

Yes. Regular maintenance and calibration are essential to ensure accurate delivery and meet safety standards.

11. Can infusion pumps be reused?

Yes, most pumps are reusable with proper cleaning, disinfection, and maintenance between uses. Some components, like tubing, may be disposable.
