3. • Infusion pump delivers measured amounts of fluids or medications into the bloodstream over a period of time. • They supply a controlled amount of drugs very slowly into the bloodstream over a period of time. Introduction

4. Techniques for the pumping action • One method is peristaltic action where fingers or rollers on a drum squeeze the fluid tubing in a controlled manner to force the fluid down the tubing. • A second method is obtained by using a cassette (or chamber) that fills with fluid & is then emptied out by the pumping mechanism in a controlled Manner. Techniques for the pumping action

5. Syringe Pumps Volumetric Pumps Basic types of Infusion Pumps :

6. Syringe Pump

7. Generally used for low volume ,low flow rate infusions Good short term accuracy Long start up time at low flow rates -Prime and purge line before connecting to patient Alarms : End/near end of Infusion ;drive disengaged ,occlusion ,battery low Specialized syringe pumps for ambulatory use,PCA,sedation ,insulin, etc . PCA :patient controlled analgesia Syringe Pump

8. Volumetric Pump

9. Preferred for medium and high flow rates and large volumes Generally not suitable for rates<5ml/h Variable short term accuracy Alarms : Latch/door open ,set out , occlusion , battery low , air-in-line Specialized Volumetric pumps for ambulatory use , epidural infusions ,etc. Volumetric Pump

10. Don’t use organic solvents such as alcohol & thinner in cleaning. Before starting any cleaning, be sure to turn OFF the power & pull out the AC power cable. Power cord failure & cleaning. Check for any damage , deformation & chemical solution stuck in the connector unit. If any chemical solution has adhered onto the occlusion detector unit or air line detector or if either of them wipes it thoroughly with cotton swab softly. CLEANING OF UNIT:

11. • Error conditions indicate the pump has detected a possible internal malfunction. • If an error message appears, the attendant should turn the pump off and then on again . • If the error display message disappears when the pump is turned on again, ensure the medication is infusing at the prescribed rate. • If the error message persists, the pump should be turned off . Error Messages

12. • Always place pump and supplies on a clean surface. • Keep food and drinks away from the area around the pump. • Determine the error message meaning from the service manual. MAINTENANCE OF INFUSION PUMP

13. Over- or under-infusion - Infusion pump does not deliver the correct dose at the proper rate – Check tubing for leaks, links twists and disconnects. – Check for visible particles in the solution, tubing and filter area that might block the flow. - Monitor pump to assure it is pumping . Errors in infusion pump:

14. – Check clamps to make sure they are open. – Note infusion begins and end time to help monitor the pump's accuracy. • Change tubing according to instructions Errors in infusion pump:

15. • Check pump screen to be sure programmed rates and dosages matches medicine's label. Wrong programming

16. • Radio transmitters (such as cell phones, wireless hand-held computers, two sources of strong electric and magnetic interference (EMI ), such as large electric motors, could affect pump . Pump users, care givers, and others should use caution and keep electromagnetic sources away from the pump. Surroundings
