An infusion syringe pump is a medical device designed to deliver precise and controlled amounts of fluids, such as medications, nutrients, or blood, into a patient’s body over a set period of time. Unlike manual injections, this device uses a motor‑driven mechanism to push the plunger of a syringe at an accurately controlled rate, ensuring that the patient receives the exact dosage required. The flow rate, total volume to be infused, and infusion time can be programmed electronically, allowing for continuous and consistent delivery without constant supervision.

Applications of an Infusion Syringe Pump:

Healthcare and Medical Treatments:
Used to deliver precise doses of medications, fluids, nutrition, or anesthesia over a controlled time period.
Research and Laboratory Use:
Used to inject chemicals, reagents, or biological fluids at a constant and precise rate for experiments, chemical reactions, or cell culture studies.
Industrial and Manufacturing Processes:
Used in certain industrial applications to dispense adhesives, lubricants, or other fluids in micro‑quantities during automated manufacturing processes.

How does Infusion Syringe Pump Works

The system makes use of an controller to handle the entire processing system. An LCD display is used to display settings and other parameters. The machine consists of a syringe mounting to hold the syringe in place as well as press the plunder gradually as per set requirements.

The device uses a motorized ball screw based arrangement to drive the plunger pusher. The device allows for setting device parameters through device keypad as well as through the internet. When the device internet control option is active the respective doctors can see the device activated on their online portal.

The device settings include adjustment the direction flow, the flow rate, the syringe brand and size, total dosage to be delivered and so on. Once settings are fed by user offline or over IOT the machine calculates the push rate of plunger. Based on this the motor operates with accuracy to ensure the delivery of fluid gradually at set flow rate till it delivers the desired amount of fluid and stops automatically with led alert and online alert to signal the successful delivery of set dosage.
