Infusion Pump

Infusion Pump is a medical device used to deliver fluids—such as medications, nutrients, or blood products—precisely and steadily into a patient’s bloodstream through an IV (intravenous) line. It replaces manual drips with accurate, controlled delivery over a set period of time.

💉 What It Does

• Controls infusion rate: You can set how fast or slow the fluid is delivered (e.g., milliliters per hour).

• Accurate dosing: Ensures patients receive the exact prescribed amount of medicine or fluid.

• Automated monitoring: The pump alerts caregivers if there’s a blockage, air in the line, or if the fluid runs out.

🧪 Where It’s Used

Infusion pumps are common in:

• Hospitals and ICUs

• Surgery and emergency rooms

• Home healthcare (for long-term therapy)

• Cancer treatment units (for chemotherapy)

⚙️ Key Features

• Digital display and controls for easy programming

• Alarms and safety alerts for occlusions or empty bags

• Battery backup for use during power interruptions
