Syringe Pumps, Infusion pumps, Failure Causes, Risk AnalysisAbstract
This paper introduces the operating principles and structures of syringe pumps and infusion pumps. It analyzes 340 repair records of syringe pumps (infusion pumps) used in the emergency and ICU departments of Longwan Campus of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from January 1, 2021 to July 1, 2024, to find out the causes of failures and conduct a brief risk analysis of the failures. It is hoped that these risks can be avoided in future clinical use to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the machine.
