SOLUTIONS FOR INFUSION PUMPS Sensors and Switches Application Note Infusion pumps are used to deliver fluids, medicines or nutrients to patients. Fluids and medicines are delivered intravenously directly into the blood stream and nutrients are delivered directly into the stomach. BACKGROUND Infusion pumps are medical devices that deliver fluids, such as nutrients and medications, into a patient’s body in controlled amounts. They are commonly used in hospital intensive care units and wards, but smaller portable infusion pumps are now being used to treat patients at home. Honeywell sensor and switch solutions are designed to enhance the performance and reliability of infusion pumps, monitor the delivery of fluids, medicines and nutrients to the patient and ensure the safe administration of the treatment to the patient (See Figure 1). These devices offer significant advantages over manual administration of fluids, including the ability to deliver fluids in very small volumes, and the ability to deliver fluids at precisely programmed rates or automated intervals. There are many types of infusion pumps, including large volume, patientcontrolled analgesia (PCA), syringe, enteral and insulin pumps. Some are designed mainly for stationary use at a patient’s bedside. Others, called ambulatory infusion pumps, are designed to be portable or wearable.

BASIC AND AML LOAD CELLS PUSHBUTTON SWITCHES SUBMINIATURE BARCODE SCAN ENGINES & SOFTWARE • Used as on/off operator controls, as well as detection for covers, panels and doors • Monitor the weight of the IV bag to determine the volume of fluid remaining • Ensure the right treatment is administered to the right patient by reading the barcodes on the IV bag and on the patient wrist band Honeywell MICRO SWITCH basic switches (see Table 4) can be used as on/off operator controls. Micro Switch basic switches can also be used as presence/detection for covers, panels and doors acting as a fail-safe...

IMPROPER INSTALLATION • Consult with local safety agencies and their requirements when designing a machine control link, interface and all control elements that affect safety. • Strictly adhere to all installation instructions. Failure to comply with these instructions could result in death or serious injury. FOR MORE INFORMATION Honeywell Sensing and Internet of Things services its customers through a distributors.
