Baxter 6201 Infusion Pump
Details
Baxter 6201 Features The Flo-Gard@ 6201 Single Channel Volumetric Infusion Pump is an electromechanical pump used for the intravenous infusion of liquids at user-selected rates. The pump contains a linear peristaltic pump head which is programmable and permits infusion of primary and secondary medication programs. The secondary program automatically switches over to the primary program when secondary infusion is complete (automatic piggybacking). Volumetric I.V. Pump Programmed delivery profile Incremental flow rate Automatic restart once occlusion clears Automatic piggybacking of secondary medications Baxter 6201 Specifications General Flow Rate Range 1 – 99.9 mL/hr in 0.1 mL/hr increments and 1 – 1,999 VTBI Range mL/hr in 1 mL/hr increments Alarm Log Last 10 alarms Dimensions 20 cm W x 13 cm D x 29 cm H (8” x 5.1” x 11.4”) Weight 5.3 kg (11.6 lbs) Battery 12 volt, 2.0 ampere, sealed lead acid Battery Recharger 80% charged within 8 hours Battery Life 6 hours at 1,400 mL/hr Power Cord Biomed replaceable 2.9 m (9 feet) Leakage Current Less than 50 µA Fuse ½ ampere, 250 volt, slow-blow Communications Port RS232 serial port Power Requirements 115 VAC, 60 Hz, 30W
Additional Information
General Information About IV Therapy IV Therapy IV therapy is used to deliver by infusion, fluids, medication, or nutrients to patients. There are two main types of administration of infusion, volumetric and syringe/PCA. IV Therapy-Volumetric These pumps are used when the accuracy of fluid volume to be infused is critical such as in the case of medications used for infusion of drugs for circulatory support. Volumetric pumps deliver a given volume of fluid per unit time measured in mL/hour. Volumetric pumps can be single or multi channel. Both types allow for the administration of more than one fluid at a time. Single channel employs a piggyback method while multi-channel uses separate tubing set up for the administration of multiple medications or fluids IV Therapy-Syringe Syringe pumps are used to administer small volumes of fluids or medications. (1 mL to 60 mL syringe) Syringe pumps are an effective way to deliver medication with precision while reducing the chance of human error if the medication were to be administered by a member of the medical staff* (of course human error can occur when inputting data or choosing dose rate over time) Like volumetric pumps, syringe pumps can be programmed to deliver the medication over a predetermined time
