an infusion pump is usually a mechanical or electronic control device, which acts on the infusion catheter to achieve the purpose of controlling the infusion rate. It is often used in situations where strict control of the amount and amount of fluids is required, such as when vasopressors, antiarrhythmic drugs, intravenous fluids in infants and young children, or intravenous anesthesia. There are many functional features of Infusion pumps.

First, functional characteristics

1. It can accurately measure and control the infusion speed.

2. It can accurately measure and control the amount of infusion.

3. It can alarm abnormal conditions such as bubbles, empty liquid, leakage and infusion tube blockage, and automatically cut off the infusion path.

4. Color display on the display screen.

5. Realize intelligent control of infusion.

2. Precautions

1. When the infusion pump is working, it is necessary to pay attention to prevent the liquid in the infusion pump from being lost, otherwise the empty pump will wear out the plunger, sealing ring or cylinder block, and eventually produce leakage.

2. The working pressure of the infusion pump should not exceed the specified high pressure, otherwise the high-pressure sealing ring will be deformed and leakage.

3. If the infusion pump fails, the cause must be found out and corresponding measures must be taken to eliminate the fault.

4. Preservation: When operating the infusion pump, do not touch the power plug with wet hands, and cannot use it in direct sunlight or strong direct light. The sensor plug must be plugged in tightly when in use, otherwise it will not work properly. When not in use, it should be placed on the top seat of the infusion pump to lock it to avoid damage when moving and storing. Infusion pumps are forbidden to be stored in places where cold and humid air currents such as fans, air conditioners, electric stoves, heaters, and humidifiers are directly blown.

5. When charging, turn off the power switch before charging. If you use the battery for the first time or after a long period of use, when you use it again, fully charge the battery before starting to use it.

6. When setting the number of milliliters and drops, be careful not to confuse.

7. After 8 hours of continuous use of the infusion pump for the ordinary infusion set, the infusion set should be pulled down for a distance so as not to affect the accuracy of the infusion.

8. If you change the brand of infusion set to a new one, you need to reset the relevant parameters of the infusion pump.

9. During the use process, it is necessary to inspect frequently, pay attention to whether the actual speed is consistent with the set speed, find problems in time, and solve them in time. Pay attention to observe whether there is redness and swelling in the blood vessels to prevent drug extravasation. The patients were observed for adverse drug reactions.

10. Once the infusion pump has an alarm, the cause should be found in time for treatment.
