Abstract: An infusion pump is a medical device that delivers fluids such as nutrients into a patient’s body in controlled amount. They are widely used in clinical settings such as hospitals, nursing homes etc. There are many types of infusion pumps including large volume, patient-controlled analgesia and insulin pumps. Some are designed mainly for stationary use at a patient’s bedside, because infusion pumps are frequently used to administer critical fluids, including high-risk medications, pump failures and can have significant implications for patient’s safety. From 2005 to 2009, FDA received approximately 56,000 reports of adverse events associated with the use of infusion pumps, including numerous injuries and deaths. Some of the problems include software problems, alarm errors, inadequate design, broken components, battery failures, spark, and shock. In order to overcome these problems, our team came up with an idea to rectify. Our project is very compact in size when compared to the ordinary syringe pump. It can be lifted with single hand since it is weightless and the components used in our project are reliable, cost efficient and user friendly.
