  1. CALIBRATION TECHNIQUES OF SYRINGE INFUSION PUMP

  2. A syringe infusion pump is a machine that is used to monitor the amount of fluid that is given to the patient. They are used for numerous purposes such as electro spraying, electrospinning, micro dialysis, fluid circulation, tissue perfusion, dispensing and dilution. These syringes are used for palliative care, research in chemical and biomedical facilities and intravenous therapy. There are two main techniques or principals used to enhance the calibration techniques of infusion pumps namely volumetric principle and distance-based principle. Calibration is done to ensure optimum performance of the machine. Also, calibration improves the accuracy of the machine. In volumetric principle method, significant flow rate has to be maintained. Also, the volume should be kept to the minimum so that maximum accuracy is achieved within a period of time. But if this calibration technique is used, then there will be limitations such as it won’ t be possible to check the flow rates during critical applications. Hence, volumetric method is a time consuming and potentially inaccurate process.

  3. On the other hand, distance-based principle is method in which plunger travels over a period of time and uses the figures to extract information that can be accepted or rejected based on potential outputs. This method is generally employed by syringe infusion pump manufacturers and involves high risk of inaccuracy as manual method of measuring is involved such as by ruler, stopwatch or pump. To improve response time and accuracy of infusion pumps, the flaws present in the calibration techniques need to be recognized. It is to be noted that in calibration system of a syringe infusion pump, accurate dosing is a critical parameter. It is used in a number of applications. In pediatrics, it is used where patients are extra sensitive to extra dosage of any medicine. It is used in cases where it is difficult to obtain a relative accurate and stable flow.
