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 />
