A pump device (10) operable with a syringe (11) having a barrel (12) and a plunger (13). The pump device (10) is operable to cause relative movement between the syringe plunger (13) and the syringe barrel (12) for discharging fluid from the syringe (11). The pump device (10) comprises a portion (31) adapted to engage the syringe barrel (12), and a drive mechanism for moving the syringe plunger (13) relative to the syringe barrel (12) to discharge fluid from the syringe (11). The drive mechanism comprises an actuator (45) adapted to engage the syringe plunger (13) and a power mechanism (61) for moving the actuator (45) to effect movement of the syringe plunger (13) relative to the syringe barrel (12). The pump device (10) thus provides a syringe driving means. There is also provided an infusion system comprising a syringe driving means, the syringe driving means comprising the pump device (10). Further, there is provided an infusion system comprising a syringe driving means operable to maintain a constant pressure within a syringe and tubing with viscosity corrections for various antibiotic concentrations.
A pump device operable with a syringe having a barrel and a plunger, the pump device being operable to cause relative movement between the syringe plunger and the syringe barrel for discharging fluid from the syringe, the pump device comprising a portion adapted to engage the syringe barrel, and a drive mechanism for moving the syringe plunger relative to the barrel to discharge fluid from the syringe, the drive mechanism comprising an actuator adapted to engage the plunger and a power mechanism for moving the actuator to effect movement of the syringe plunger relative to the barrel.
The pump device according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the actuator comprises a piston movable along a path.
The pump device according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the power mechanism comprises at least one spring mechanism operable to exert a spring force on the actuator.
The pump device according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein said portion adapted to engage the syringe barrel comprises an engaging means for releasably engaging an end section of the barrel from which the plunger extends.
A pump device operable with a syringe having a syringe barrel and a syringe plunger, the pump device being operable to cause relative movement between the syringe plunger and the syringe barrel for discharging fluid from the syringe, the pump device comprising a portion adapted to engage the syringe barrel, and a drive mechanism for moving the syringe plunger relative to the barrel to discharge fluid from the syringe, said portion adapted to engage the syringe barrel comprising a receptor configured for operation in conjunction with an end section of the syringe barrel to provide a releasable connection therebetween.
The pump device according to any one of the preceding claims, further comprising one or more attachments points.
An infusion system comprising a syringe driving means, the syringe driving means comprising a pump device according to any one of the preceding claims.
An infusion system comprising a syringe driving means operable to maintain a constant pressure within a syringe, and tubing with viscosity corrections for various antibiotic concentrations.
A kit comprising a syringe, a syringe driving means and tubing calibrated for delivering a pre-determined amount of an antibiotic in a pre-determined time period.
