Introducing The Medfusion 3500 Syringe Pump

By Kevin Williams


The Medfusion 3500 Syringe Pump is a small infusion pump that is used to slowly deliver a small amount of fluid over a specified period of time. Infusion pumps are used clinically and in the research setting. These devices may be programmed to administer tenths of milliliters every minute, patient-controlled analgesia and fluids whose volumes differ with the times of day.

The ability to automate the delivery of difficult dosages virtually eliminates the potential for medication errors. Where nurses would otherwise have to take huge amounts of time to administer these dosages, they can transfer that time to direct patient care. One environment where infusion pumps are particularly useful are in special care baby units.

Infusion syringes made by Medfusion reduce mistakes in the administration of drugs. They are flexible, adaptable, easy to customize, intelligent and safe. They can deliver fluids at controlled high pressure and may be used directly into the spinal cord, as in spinal anesthetics for childbirth, or subcutaneously.

The ability to inject drugs subcutaneously offers the doctor or nurse almost infinite choice of injection site. This is very handy where multiple injections are required. There is a potential disadvantage in that edema, or swelling at the injection site, may inactivate certain drugs.

Parameters that can be manipulated for custom usage include formulation, latex-free, lipid resistant or needle-less configurations. The software that comes with the 3500 has software designed specifically to eradicate drug errors within programmable dosage limits. Other integrated safety features include rapid alarm response and displaying trends in pressure.

The Medfusion 3500 syringe pump is the newest model in this product line. Medicating patients using automated infusion pumps is cost effective and optimizes staff time. The device is used both clinically and in the research setting. One area where these devices are especially effective is in the care of infants in hospital neonatal intensive care units.
