Frequently Asked Question

1. What infusion modes does the infusion pump support?

This infusion pump offers versatile infusion modes to meet different clinical requirements: Flow Rate Mode: Infuses fluids at a continuous and set flow rate. Time Mode: Infuses a specified volume over a selected time period. Drop Rate Mode: Allows control based on drops per minute, useful when using drip sets. Body Weight Mode: Calculates the infusion rate based on the patient’s body weight, often used for pediatric or weight-sensitive medications. These modes offer flexibility in various settings, including surgery, the ICU, pediatrics, and home care.

2. What is the range of flow rate, and how do I adjust it?

The infusion pump supports a flow rate range of 1 to 1200 ml/hr. You can adjust the flow rate using the interface controls (buttons or touchscreen depending on the model). This allows precise medication delivery—slower for continuous therapy or faster for fluid resuscitation.

3. What is the 'Preset Volume' and how is it different from VTBI?

Preset Volume (range: 0.1 to 9999.9 ml) refers to a user-defined volume the pump will aim to deliver. It is typically used alongside VTBI but can act independently for monitoring purposes. It allows caregivers to plan and automate dosing over time.

4. What is the KVO (Keep Vein Open) function and how does it work?

The KVO rate, adjustable between 1 and 5 ml/hr, is activated automatically once the set VTBI has been infused. It maintains vein patency by continuing to infuse at a low rate, ensuring the IV line stays open and accessible for future administration.

5. Is the infusion pump suitable for use in various environmental conditions?

Yes. It can operate safely in air pressure ranges from 70 to 106 kPa, which covers altitudes from sea level to approximately 3,000 meters (about 9,800 feet). This makes it suitable for most clinical and transport environments.

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.
