Specifications

Baxter AS50 Features:

The Baxter AS50 Infusion Pump was designed to it fit a variety of different infusion type in the ever-growing clinical environment. The Baxter AS50 can Provide accurate, continuous, or intermittent infusion of intravenous solutions such as drug solutions, and blood. The Baxter infusion system can be piggybacked into an ongoing infusion line to help deliver a secondary solution to the patient. The Pump can be programmed to run at an infusion rate of 0.01 to 438 mL/hr. The Baxter AS50 can work with a variety of standard syringes ranging from 1mL to 60 mL in size. The Display screen on the pump prompts the user to input the data about the type of syringes and infusions peruse. The Syringe system also comes with a pre-programmable bolus operation for continuous doses without any interruption of fluid flow.

Digital syringe pump.
It provides an accurate infusion of intravenous solutions, drug solutions, whole blood, and packed blood cells.
Indicated for the following routes of administration: intravenous, intra-arterial, epidural or subcutaneous.
Accepts standard disposable syringes from 1mL to 60 mL.

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.
