A Tourniquet Zimmer ATS machine is used to constrict and compress blood vessels to prevent circulation of blood flow in the area. When used during surgery, it creates a bloodless field allowing A Terumo syringe pump is a Class I, Type CF equipment. It is also used to deliver medications or fluids into the patient. When doing preventive maintenance, the electrical safety analyser and the infusion device analyser is used. 4 Terumo syringe pump can be done at once as the analyser has 4 channels. It takes around 1.5 hours to complete one set of syringe pump. 1. Syringe Selection
The pump can hold 4 different volume of syringes: 50cc, 30cc, 20cc and 10cc. The pump can auto detect the volume of syringe inserted into the pump. The syringe must be …show more content…
The occlusion test is completed when the 3 circle and 1 triangle lights up and the alarm will sound. The reading taken from the analyser is in PSI while the checklist values are in kgf/cm^2. Thus, the reading taken needs to be converted to kgf/cm^2. If the reading exceeds the tolerance value, it has to be done again. If it repeatedly exceeds the values, changing the syringe can help solve the problem.
3. Delivery Rate
For each size of the syringe, the delivery rate needs to be tested. For the 50cc and 20cc, the delivery rate to check is 150ml/hr and 20ml/hr while the 10cc syringe is 50ml/hr and 20ml/hr. the purpose of testing the delivery rate of the syringes is to check if the syringe pump is working properly and is giving the correct amount of medication or fluid to the patient. The 30cc syringe is not tested as it is not used by nurses and it is only used during maintenance checking.
To change the rate of the syringe pump, turn the control knob at the side of the pump. However, the value will increase or decrease slowly. To decrease or increase the rate quickly (i.e. 10ml/hr), hold the rate button and turn the control knob at the side of the
