Case Studies: Safely automating the dispensing of treatments using a syringe pump

 
fade
Applications  >>  Safely automating the dispensing of treatments using a syringe pump

The Challenge:

Need to monitor and administer the correct amount of medication to cancer patients going through chemotherapy at a rate that will prevent blood clots:

  • Is the pump injecting the liquid at a safe rate?
  • Has the blood clotted in the vein of the patient?
  • Has the needle missed the target vein?
  • Has the needle mistakenly penetrated through both walls of the vein?

How it works:

Our specialized syringe pump system is designed to allow medical personnel to remotely check up on their patients receiving automated treatments that can take hours-such as chemotherapy for cancer patients. The system will provide data that can by easily analyzed by the medical personnel to determine if the patient needs immediate attention.
