Infusion devices are the basis for primary health care, that is to provide medicine, nutrition, and hydration to patients. One of the infusion devices is a syringe pump and an infusion pump. This device is very important to assist the volume and flow that enters the patient's body, especially in situations related to neonatology or cancer treatment. Therefore, a comparison tool is needed to see whether the equipment is used or not. The purpose of this research is to make an infusion device analyzer (IDA) design with a flow rate parameter. The contribution of this research is that the tool can calculate the correct value of the flow rate that comes out of the infusion pump and syringe pump. The water released by the infusion pump or syringe pump will be converted into droplets which are then detected by the sensor. This tool uses an infrared sensor and a photodiode. The results obtained by the sensor will come by Arduino nano and code it to the 16x2 Character Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and can be stored on an SD Card so that it can be analyzed further. In setting the flow rate for the syringe pump of 100 mL / hour, the error value is 3.9, 50 ml / hour 0.02, 20 mL / hour 0.378, 10 mL / hour 0.048, and 5 mL / hour 0.01. The results show that the average error of the syringe pump performance read by the module is 0.87. The results obtained from this study can be implemented for the calibration of the infusion pump and the syringe pump so that it can be determined whether the device is suitable or not

In the medical world, patient safety is a top priority. The number of workloads and frequency of use in the long term will affect the accuracy and precision of the equipment, therefore calibration is needed, namely the measurement activities to determine the truth of the appointment value of measuring instruments and/or measuring materials based on the standards of the Minister of Health Regulation No. 54/2015. The purpose of this study is to make the design of the Infusion Device Analyzer on flow rate parameters. The main advantage of this study is that the system can display three calibration results in one measurement at the same setting. The results of the calibration will determine the feasibility of an infusion pump or a syringe pump. This study uses the flow rate formula which is applied to the water level system to obtain the calibration results. The infrared photodiode sensor will detect the flow of water in the chamber that comes from the infusion or syringe pump. Furthermore, the sensor output will be processed by the microcontroller and the reading results are displayed on the liquid crystal display. The average measurement at a setting of 10 ml/hour is 9.36 ml/hour, at a setting of 50 ml/hour is 46.64 ml/hour and at a setting of 100 ml/hour is 96.04 ml/hour. Based on available data, this tool has an average error value of 5.69%, where the value exceeds the tolerance limit allowed by ECRI, which is ± 5%.

In the medical world, patient safety is a top priority. The large number of workloads and the frequency of using the devices in the long run will affect the accuracy and accuracy of the tool. If the flow rate and volume of the syringe pump or infusion pump given to the patient are not controlled (overdose or the fluid flow rate is too high) it can cause hypertension, heart failure or pulmonary edema. Therefore, it is necessary to have a calibration, which is an application activity to determine the correctness of the designation of the measuring instrument or measuring material. The purpose of this research is to make a two channel infusion device analyzer using a photodiode sensor. The contribution of this research is that the system can display three calibration results in one measurement at the same setting and can calibrate 2 tools simultaneously. The design of the module is in the form of an infrared photodiode sensor for reading the flowrate value. This study uses an infrared photodiode sensor for channels 1 and 2 installed in the chamber. This study uses a flow rate formula that is applied to the water level system to obtain 3 calibration results. Infrared photodiode sensor will detect the presence of water flowing in the chamber from an infusion or syringe pump. Then the sensor output will be processed by STM32 and 3 calibration results will be displayed on the 20x4 LCD. This tool has an average error value on channel 1 of 3.50% and on channel 2 of 3.39%. It can be concluded that the whole system can work well, the placement and distance between the infrared photodiodes also affects the sensor readings

Micro/nanopatterns with micro deposition techniques have been used in various applications such as flexible electronic devices, biosensing, and biological tissue engineering. For depositing a small size of droplets that can be controlled, structured and patterned precisely is a very important process for microfabrication. In this study, we developed a low cost and simple system for fabricating micro/nanostructure by a selective micro deposition process using a syringe pump. This method is an additive fabrication method where selective droplet materials are released through a needle of the syringe pump. By translating the rotating stepper motor into a linear movement of the lead screw, it will press the plunger of the syringe and give a force to the fluid inside the syringe, hence a droplet can be injected out. The syringe pump system consists of a syringe, the mechanical unit, and the controller unit. A stepper motor, the lead screw, and the mechanical components are used for the mechanical unit. Arduino Uno microcontroller is used as the controller unit and can be programmed by the computer through GUI (Graphical User Interface). The input parameters, such as the push or pull of flow direction, flow rate, the droplet volume, and syringe size dimension can be inputted by the user as their desired value via keypad or the computer. The measurement results show that the syringe pump has characteristics: the maximum average error value of the measured volume is 2.5% and the maximum average error value of the measured flow rate is 14%. The benefits of a syringe pump for micro deposition can overcome photolithography weaknesses, which require an etching and stencil process in the manufacture of semiconductors. Combining two or more syringes into one system with different droplet materials can be used as a promising method for 3D microfabrication in the future.

Alterations in response to pharmacological agents have been attributed to flow rate variation produced by intravenous infusion devices during drug delivery. A wide range of variation has been shown to occur with large-volume infusion devices. The intent of this investigation was to examine flow variation resulting from the use of selected small-volume syringe and mobile infusion devices and determine whether these devices have greater flow continuity than large-volume infusion pumps. Each syringe and mobile infusion device delivered iv fluid at three flow rates (1, 5, and 10 ml/h). The effusate was collected in a tared beaker and serial weights were measured every ten seconds using a computerized, gravimetric technique. Accuracy, continuity, and pattern of flow were determined for each of the syringe and mobile infusion devices. All of the devices produced accurate flow, within ± 10 percent of the desired 5 and 10 ml/h rates. However, the actual iv flow rate ranged from 53 to 93 percent for the 1 ml/h rate. Continuity and pattern of flow resulting from each device were diverse. When compared with large-volume, microrate infusion devices, no significant differences could be observed. Therefore, no clear advantage to delivering drug solutions on a continuous basis can be expected from the use of small-volume devices. Specific infusion devices may be preferable for certain clinical applications; flow continuity data may be valuable when selecting an infusion device.

Diabetes resistant to conventional subcutaneous insulin injection is a rare complication of insulin-dependent diabetes which poses a major management problem. We report three cases treated for a total of over seven patient years with fully implanted insulin infusion devices. Technical difficulties with the devices and their operation have been substantial but the patients are much improved and hospitalisation has been dramatically reduced. We suggest that implanted insulin pumps are a real treatment option for patients with this unusual syndrome.

Electronic infusion device (EID) use is increasing and contributes substantially to hospital costs, approximately $1 000 000 per year at the University of Michigan Hospitals. Only two studies have been conducted with the purpose of determining potential advantages of EID over less-expensive roller clamps. Neither clearly demonstrated that controllers are more beneficial than roller clamps. Pumps have not received this type of study. EID use should, therefore, be limited only to those situations in which they are decidedly advantageous.

This research examines the development of a low cost mobile electrospinning system for fabricating nanofiber. The electrospinning system developed in this study consists of a horizontal needle arrangement and a motor which supports the working system that controls the solution flow rate without an external syringe pump. In order to discover the equipment operating conditions for nanofiber fabrication, the distance from the needle to the target was studied. A PVA solution of 8wt% was used and voltage was applied at 13 kV. The needle to target distances were varied from 8-18 cm. At a distance of 10 cm, the SEM images showed that the smallest diameter of the fiber was 119 nm. The average diameter was in the range of 119-240 nm. Concentrations of the 3 different solutions of PVA, PEO and PCL with the variation of voltage at each concentration were studied. The results show the diameter of PVA at 8 wt% and 12%wt are in the range of 127-197 nm and 222-402 nm, respectively. The diameter of PCL solution at a 20 wt% concentration is in the range of 32-60 nm. PEO at 2 wt% and 4wt% was not able to form as a fiber.

Abstract This paper describes a new contactless conductivity detector, whose electrodes are constructed of microchannels filled with solution of KCl - called pseudoelectrodes. The lab-on-a-chip microdevice was fabricated in poly(dimethylsiloxane) PDMS, using a moulding technique. The mould was made from a dry negative photoresist with a thickness of 50 μm. During the tests, the dimension! and arrangement of pseudoelectrodes` microchannels were evaluated. The analyte was pumped into the microchannel using a syringe pump with a flow rate of 50 μL/min. Reproducible!changes of the signal were obtained.
