Infusion pumps are devices used for the delivery of fluids, medication, nutrients, and blood or blood plasma directly into a patient's circulatory system via an IV. These volumetric pumps offer the ability to continuously or intermittently administer a set amount of fluids in a controlled manner. IV pumps can either be stationary or ambulatory and can run on AC or battery power. Some IV pumps have advanced features, such as an optional software that counter-checks dosage amount for safety, and a log feature that generates reports. IV pumps can meet various clinical needs and provide safe, accurate, and efficient administration of intravenous fluids.
