In part one of this infusion pump testing blog, we covered what an infusion device is, what they are used for, the risks of poor testing, points of probable failure and tests that should be conducted. In this blog, we are going to discuss other infusion pump test systems and the benefits of using an electronic analyzer.

There are a significant number of infusion devices (pumps and controllers) in hospitals and clinics worldwide used to control the delivery of a wide range of medications, nutrition and blood products. In anesthesia, the infusion device controls the delivery of narcotics, short-acting barbiturates and paralytics whose properties and actions on the physiology include analgesia, amnesia, paralysis and sedation. In the ICU, they are used for sedation and paralysis as well as infusing medications that help speed the healing of disease and chronic conditions.
