Connections and Alarms
Features and Usability
The Medfusion 3500 offers many different features in the system. This pump has the ability to recall the last settings for a quick and easy setup. Any optional Volume Limit, KVO, Bolus Dose, or Loading Dose settings are retained in the systems settings when this feature is used. Clinicians can reuse the same delivery settings to repeat an identical dosage of medication or fluids to a patient. This device can even be programmed to only allow a specific syringe size and model depending on the drug program specified. This helps reduce programming errors and increase user-friendliness. Even loading the syringe is easy! Lift up the barrel clamp, squeeze the plunger release, and load the syringe. Make sure everything is secured and the pump recognizes the correct syringe. This syringe pump offers a Bolus dosing. A Bolus dose is a separate delivery that pauses the main infusion, delivers the Bolus, then returns to the main infusion when completed. Bolus dosing is an optional parameter of continuous delivery modes. Another option available for continuous delivery modes is volume limit. Upon delivering the pre-set volume, the pump stops or changes to KVO if that has been programmed. This pump also features rapid occlusion detection technology with FlowSentry. FlowSentry is a broad array of pressure-related safety features. All of these pressure related safety features rapid response time and reduces false alarms.

Cleaning
Need to clean the Medfusion 3500 syringe pump? To avoid electrical shock, before cleaning, always turn the pump off and disconnect from the AC power source. Using a 70% isopropyl alcohol solution or a 1:6 diluted bleach solution is the top recommended cleaning agents to clean the pump. To clean the pump, spray a soft cloth with the cleaning agents and wipe down the pump. Directly spraying the pump could cause the cleaning solution to pool and cause damage to the device and its components. It is important to note that the pump is spray resistant and not waterproof, so it is not safe to submerge or use in an autoclave.

Why choose refurbished? The biggest deterrent to buying new is the cost. Buying refurbished capital medical equipment allows the buyer to acquire about two refurbished devices at the cost of one new one. This helps smaller hospitals with their budget, and help compete with larger hospitals. There is a big difference between used and refurbished equipment. Used equipment implies that the equipment comes as is from the previous owner. Used equipment has an assumed connotation of being mishandled, broken, and/or does not properly function. Refurbished equipment is far different and much better. The devices are brought to our state of the art facility. Our team of biomedical engineer’s test and calibrate the equipment to be brought back to OEM specifications. Parts that need to be replaced are replaced, thanks to Soma’s large inventory of parts, which can be found at www.SomaMedicalParts.com. After these devices are fixed, they are cosmetically enhanced. The equipment is sanded, painted, and outfitted with new stickers and decals. Finally, the refurbishment process is complete once they are packaged up and ready to ship.
