  • Self-Discharge: A fully charged battery will retain a minimum 20% of the initial charge for six months when the infusion pump is not connected to AC power or is not operating, and is stored at 20° C.

Environment

  • Operating: 41° to 104° F (5° to 40° C) 10% to 90% relative humidity
  • Transporting and Storage: -4° to 140° F (-20° to 60° C) 10% to 90% relative humidity
  • Atmospheric Pressure: 0 - 10,000 feet (0 - 3000 meters) or equivalent atmospheric pressure
  • Relative Humidity: 10 - 90% non-condensing up to 104° F (40° C); maximum of 15% non-condensing above 104° F (40° C)

Occlusion Alarm and Limits

  • Backpressure Range: 10 to 20 psi

Modes

  • PCA Only: Approximately 1 mL in 35 seconds
  • Continuous Only: Variable from 0.1 x concentration to 20 x concentration (mg/hr or mcg/hr)

General Information About IV Therapy

IV Therapy

  • IV therapy is used to deliver by infusion, fluids, medication, or nutrients to patients.
  • There are two main types of administration of infusion, volumetric and syringe/PCA.

IV Therapy-Volumetric

  • These pumps are used when the accuracy of fluid volume to be infused is critical such as in the case of medications used for infusion of drugs for circulatory support.
  • Volumetric pumps deliver a given volume of fluid per unit time measured in mL/hour.
  • Volumetric pumps can be single or multi channel. Both types allow for the administration of more than one fluid at a time. Single channel employs a piggyback method while multi-channel uses separate tubing set up for the administration of multiple medications or fluids
  • IV Therapy-Syringe

  • Syringe pumps are used to administer small volumes of fluids or medications. (1 mL to 60 mL syringe)
  • Syringe pumps are an effective way to deliver medication with precision while reducing the chance of human error if the medication were to be administered by a member of the medical staff* (of course human error can occur when inputting data or choosing dose rate over time)
  • Like volumetric pumps, syringe pumps can be programmed to deliver the medication over a predetermined time
