Description
Overview
The MicroFuse Rapid Rate Infuser is intended for intravenous infusion of adenosine. It is designed to deliver a “full” syringe dose (see NOTE below) over 6 minutes. The MicroFuse Rapid Rate Infuser delivers reliable, continuous infusion over the prescribed duration.
MicroFuse Rapid Rate Infusers are:
-
Durable – solid body construction with secure motor attachment
-
Easy-to-use – simple push-button controls
-
Portable – lightweight and slender profile
-
Reliable – low maintenance, with built-in safety features
Syringe Compatibility
The MicroFuse Rapid Rate Infuser is compatible with Becton-Dickinson (B-D), Monoject and Terumo disposable syringes. Typical syringes for Adenoscan (adenosine) are B-D 30 or 60 cc, Monoject 60 cc, or Terumo 30 or 60 cc.
Description
The infuser operates on two standard alkaline C-cell batteries. The syringe holder secures the syringe in place. Once the infuser is turned ON, the syringe driver arm depresses the plunger at a fixed rate, administering the contents of the syringe through the extension tubing and into the patient access site. A microprocessor control operates at a constant delivery rate, and can infuse syringe contents against a back pressure of ± 100 mm Hg.
The MicroFuse Rapid Rate Infuser infuses at one of two pre-set flow rates. RATE 1 infuses a “full” syringe over 6 minutes. RATE 2 infuses a “full” syringe over 8.4 minutes. If RATE 1 is set to deliver 140 mcg/kg/min of adenosine, RATE 2 will slow the dose to 100 mcg/kg/min.
NOTE: A “full” syringe is defined as having a syringe plunger extended 3.25 inches to accommodate the Rapid Rate Infuser fixed rates. Actual fixed rates are 0.533 inches per minute for RATE 1 and 0.381 inches per minute for RATE 2.
The MicroFuse Rapid Rate Infuser has a full complement of alarms that signal: end of infusion, occlusion detection, low battery, maintenance required and internal malfunction. Alarms are indicated by flashing status lights and an audible chime. NOTE: Audible alarms may be placed in MUTE mode by pressing Alarm Mute switch for two full seconds.
