SYRINGE PUMP

FAQ

1. What is a syringe pump used for?

   • A programmable syringe pump is an essential pump system used in various laboratory applications, designed to deliver precise volumes of liquid at controlled flow rates. These syringe pump models can infuse or withdraw fluids, making them versatile for handling reagents and viscous fluids. With a user-friendly interface, laboratory syringe pumps allow for programming to automate the process, ensuring accuracy and precision in liquid handling. The capability to control the total infusion volume enhances the efficiency of scientific experiments, while the economical price of OEM syringe pumps makes them accessible. Different pump models, such as high pressure syringe and dual pump systems, cater to specific applications, including the delivery of chemical solutions. Each model is designed for precision, ensuring reliable flow for a range of scientific needs.

     
     

2. What is the difference between the infusion pump and syringe pump?

   • The main difference between an infusion pump and a syringe pump lies in their fluid control methods. Infusion pumps continuously dispense medication, while syringe pumps use a scientific syringe for precise control and selectable target volume or time. The range of syringe pumps offers reliability and versatility for various applications, including high-pressure settings. Infusion pumps are typically programmable pumps that automate injection and withdrawal, while syringe pumps require more manual adjustments. The KDS 410, for instance, provides intuitive programming options to control time values to control the total dose. Additionally, multistep protocols can be implemented for complex therapies.

     
     

3. What is the difference between a syringe pump and an IV push?

   • A syringe pump offers continuous delivery of medication by using a syringe and a motor to achieve precise resolution. It can be programmed for target volume or time values, integrating automation for optimal best practices. In contrast, an IV push is a legato administration method, delivering a bolus dose without the same level of displacement vs control.Pumps provide a full range of delivery options, particularly in perfusor space, while facilitating dilution and chemistry adjustments. The Braun syringe pumps cater to a wide range of applications, ensuring safety and efficacy in patient care. Thus, the choice between these methods depends on the clinical scenario and required precision.

     
     

4. What are the indications for the use of a syringe pump?

   • The use of a syringe pump is indicated for precise medication delivery, particularly in settings requiring controlled infusion rates. PTFE syringes are often utilized due to their low friction properties, ensuring smooth flow. Additionally, patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) mechanisms benefit from syringe pumps, allowing patients to manage their pain relief effectively while maintaining safety and dosage limits.

     
     

5. What is the maximum rate of the pump?

   • The maximum rate of the pump is influenced by various factors, including the type of materials used in its construction. For instance, pumps utilizing PTFE components can withstand higher temperatures and corrosive environments, enhancing their efficiency. Additionally, the integration of PCA technology allows for improved flow dynamics, ultimately increasing the pump's maximum rate and ensuring optimal performance in demanding applications.
