“…Each IV infusion pump has some features, including a distinctive barcode, drug library, approximate or precise dose calculation and manual programming (Saladow, 2007). The pumps can be employed in emergency settings, inpatient clinics, operating rooms, outpatient clinics and houses; however, they are particularly applied in intensive care units (ICUs) (O'Shea, 2013;Peterfreund & Philip, 2013;Woo, Sutton & Stephens, 2007;Yentur, 2008).…”

The study aimed to produce a new pump with different and improved features and included three phases. In phase one, we collected the views of 40 nurses on pumps available in the market. In phase two, a pump was designed and a prototype was produced. In phase three, 10 nurses used and evaluated the prototype. The prototype combined three intravenous infusion pumps and one enteral pump in a single machine. Nurses assessed the prototype in a practice laboratory. All nurses found prototype very adequate with respect to carrying and installing. 90% of nurses found the prototype very adequate and practical in general. Moreover, the majority (80%) stated that the prototype produced less noise than the available pumps in the market.

This study assessed the method of fluid infusion control using an IntraVenous Infusion Controller (IVIC). Four methods of infusion control (dial flow controller, IV set without correction, IV set with correction and IVIC correction) were used to measure the volume of each technique at two infusion rates. The infused fluid volume with a dial flow controller was significantly larger than other methods. The infused fluid volume was significantly smaller with an IV set without correction over time. Regarding the concordance correlation coefficient (CCC) of infused fluid volume in relation to a target volume, IVIC correction was shown to have the highest level of agreement. The flow rate measured in check mode showed a good agreement with the volume of collected fluid after passing through the IV system. Thus, an IVIC could assist in providing an accurate infusion control.
