Introducing The Medfusion 3500 Syringe Pump

The Medfusion 3500 Syringe Pump is a small infusion pump that is used to slowly deliver a small amount of fluid over a specified period of time. Infusion pumps are used clinically and in the research setting. These devices may be programmed to administer tenths of milliliters every minute, patient-controlled analgesia and fluids whose volumes differ with the times of day.

Automating these difficult dosing regimes frees up nursing time for other aspects of patient care in a cost-effective manner. This is especially useful in neonatal intensive care units, where drug dosages are impractically small and difficult to administer manually. Using an automated system means the highly trained nursing staff can spend more time with patients, their parents and other family members.

Medfusion syringe pumps are easy to customize, smart, safe, adaptable and flexible. They are capable of delivering drugs at high, controlled pressures either directly into the spinal cord, as in prenatal anesthesia, or subcutaneously. Because they are pre-programmed, the potential for an error in dosage is almost completely eliminated.

The ability to inject drugs subcutaneously offers the doctor or nurse almost infinite choice of injection site. This is very handy where multiple injections are required. There is a potential disadvantage in that edema, or swelling at the injection site, may inactivate certain drugs.

Parameters that can be manipulated for custom usage include formulation, latex-free, lipid resistant or needle-less configurations. The software that comes with the 3500 has software designed specifically to eradicate drug errors within programmable dosage limits. Other integrated safety features include rapid alarm response and displaying trends in pressure.

Medicating patients in the hospital setting using a Medfusion 3500 syringe pump is safer, cheaper and optimizes nursing time. They may be used in the research setting or in the hospital. They are particularly useful in obstetric anesthesia and in patient-controlled analgesia.
