Introduction It is unclear whether the use of linear peristaltic infusion pumps with different propulsion mechanisms can affect the quality of red blood cells (RBCs) transfusion. We hypothesized that the mechanism of liquid propulsion, infusion rate, complete or incomplete compression of the infusion sets segment and type of pumping segment composition materials are variables that can influence...

ITT Flygt is an international company that produces mixers and submersible pumps for a global market. The main production site is located in Sweden but there are other production plants all over the world, for instance in China. The plant in Shenyang, China, manufactures small and midsize pumps but in order to gain advantages on the Chinese market a project to start production of the largest pu...

OBJECTIVE Preparation of drug solutions used with electronic syringe infusion pumps plays a crucial role in the delivery of an accurate drug concentration. Is there a correlation between drug concentrations during syringe pump infusion and preparation protocols? METHOD Norepinephrine, insulin, and sufentanil were prepared in 3 different ways: (1) the drug was taken from the vial, then the sol...

Gestational diabetes mellitus represents both a clear pathological condition of glycaemic dysregulation and a factor aggravating the risk of future diabetes in both the mother and child. Thus it is of paramount importance to control and manage pregnancy complicated by diabetes to improve the health and well-being of the mother and avert the risk of diabetes across generations. Currently, a wide...

The first manufactured insulin pump was introduced in the 1970s and the first insulin pens in 1985; since then, many improvements have been made to both devices. The advantages of pens over syringes have been confirmed in numerous studies and include greater accuracy, ease of use, patient satisfaction, quality of life, and adherence. United States claims database analyses indicate that the impr...

Even though diabetes has been a rapidly increasing health problem, adequate quality treatment continues to be an economic burden to common man. Nowadays patients rely on treatments like oral medication and manual injection of insulin because of the high cost of insulin pumps. So to help the common man, especially patients at the acute stage of Diabetes, a reliable and affordable embedded system...

BACKGROUND In 2004, Uslan and colleagues determined that insulin pumps (IPs) on the market were largely inaccessible to blind and visually impaired persons. The objective of this study is to determine if accessibility status changed in the ensuing 4 years. METHODS Five IPs on the market in 2008 were acquired and analyzed for key accessibility traits such as speech and other audio output, tact...

The increased popularity of centrifugal pumps is due to largely to the comparatively recent development of high speed electric motors, steam turbines and internal combustion engines.To improve the performance of centrifugal pumps by studying the key components like impeller to find the optimum conditions using software. A literature review and lots of development in Computational CFD motivated ...
