Infusion pumps and syringe pumps are commonly used clinical infusion auxiliary devices, which are mainly used for precise infusion of certain special drugs and high-risk drugs. With the improvement of infusion safety awareness, the use of infusion pumps has become more popular, and it has become one of the devices that medical staff has more contact with.

The infusion pump creates favorable conditions for emergency patients, critically ill patients, special patients, and children to administer medicine, and improves the work efficiency of medical staff.

Improper operation and care of the infusion pump in clinical use may result in abnormal infusion flow rate control, which will directly affect the safety and effectiveness of the patient's medication. The followings are the matters needing attention during the use and maintenance of the infusion pump.

Different brands and models of syringe pumps and infusion pumps have different operating methods. Before using, medical staff should go through the training and explanation of relevant staff to understand the loading method of the syringe/infusion set, the set of related parameters, other more functional operations, alarm methods, etc., especially to understand clearly loading the syringe/infusion set Matters needing attention in the process to ensure correct operation.

Generally speaking, when the infusion pump works continuously for more than 24 hours, you should take a half-day shift; after 6-8 hours of continuous infusion, take care to take out the tubing in the pump, load the unsqueezed tubing into the pump body and start again, so as not to The output error caused by the deterioration of the elasticity of the pipeline after long-term squeezing.

Generally, there will be clear regulations on the product manual, the temperature, pressure, humidity, and time limit that the product can withstand. In addition, care must be taken to prevent liquids from entering the equipment. Different brands and models of infusion pumps have different waterproof grades.

The higher the grade, the better the waterproof performance. High-quality infusion pumps can withstand the test of water jets on three sides and have no effect on the equipment. Even in the place of the power socket, a waterproof rubber ring is made to greatly improve the waterproof performance of the equipment.

During use, try to keep it dry and clean; when the surface needs to be cleaned, you must first pull out the AC power plug to turn off the power (this step can be omitted if the power supply is waterproof), and use a moist, clean cloth or 75% damp Wipe the body with a soft alcohol cloth, and do not pour liquid or clean water into the pump. If there is liquid medicine/drops splashing on the pump, it should be cleaned with a dry cloth in time to prevent corrosion of the pump body or affect the normal operation of the pump.

When it comes to anti-corrosion since the infusion pump is a device that is more often exposed to chemical liquids, the cleaning and maintenance of the casing is very important, and it is inevitable to come into contact with detergents and disinfectants during the cleaning and disinfection process. Therefore, the materials selected for the casing of the equipment will also have a certain impact on the overall performance of the pump.

According to the requirements of the product manual (the disinfection methods that different products can accept, such as the types of disinfectants, etc.), use the appropriate concentration of disinfectant and disinfection methods, and perform cleaning and maintenance at least once a month. (Note that heating/gas methods cannot be used to sterilize the equipment.)

Calibrate according to the method required by the product manual; you can also send the infusion pump back to the manufacturer or contact the manufacturer for on-site inspection and maintenance to maintain the accuracy of the equipment.

When not in use, you should cut off the power switch to avoid overcharging or over-discharging, and pay attention to maintaining a certain amount of power at all times; if the equipment is stored for more than 3 months under suitable external conditions such as temperature and humidity, it is recommended to charge the equipment to avoid built-in The battery self-discharges and is scrapped.

The empty bottle alarm/drip speed sensor detects the number of drops from the infusion bag into the drip pot within a certain period of time to achieve the function of monitoring the infusion speed/detecting empty bottles.

When using, it should be clamped above the liquid surface of the drip pot, keep the vertical direction, and avoid direct sunlight. In daily maintenance, pay attention to the infrared emission on the detection clip and keep the gap between the receiving port clean and not blocked by dust or other things (such as the crystals after the liquid medicine is dried).

Correctly performing the above cleaning and maintenance of the infusion pump can effectively delay the service life of the instrument, improve the utilization rate and integrity rate of the instrument, reduce the operating cost of the hospital, improve the efficiency of the hospital, and effectively reduce the medical disputes.
