MS<strong>16A</strong> Syringe Driver<br />

Description<br />

Figure 1-1 MS<strong>16A</strong> Hourly rate syringe driver<br />

The MS<strong>16A</strong> Syringe Driver (Figure 1-1) is a portable, batteryoperated<br />

device, designed for the continuous infusion of small<br />

volumes of liquid from commercially available disposable syringes.<br />

The driver operates over time spans ranging from less than 30<br />

minutes to 60 hours.<br />

The syringe plunger is operated by a linear actuator, at rates ranging<br />

from 1 to 99 mm/hour (mm PER). The rate required is set by<br />

adjusting two digital rotary switches.<br />

Most brands of syringe can be fitted to the driver, and the volumetric<br />

delivery depends on the size of the syringe being used. A millimetre<br />

scale is provided on the front of the driver to measure the stroke<br />

length of the syringe, so that the rate in mm/hour may be calculated.<br />

For added security, the syringe driver can be secured in a<br />

transparent plastic, lockable box (see Figure 1-2).<br />

When fitted, the box minimises the risk of tampering with the<br />

infusion.<br />
