Flow Controllers

The accuracy, safety, reliability and cost of use of 35 intravenous infusion pumps and 3 flow controllers were assessed. When infusing saline 11 out of 17 syringe pumps, 3 out of 5 peristaltic pumps, 1 out of 2 roller pumps and all 14 cassette pumps tested were accurate to within 5% over their full ranges of operation. There was no significant change in the performance of any of the pumps tested when saline was infused through a standard resistance, except in the cases of the 3 flow controllers which were unable to infuse at all against the resistance. When 50% dextrose was infused, delivery by two peristaltic pumps was reduced by 23 and 38%. No pump cut out or alarmed at pressures of up to 200 mmHg and 21 pumps continued to infuse against pressures of 750 mmHg or greater. Surges of up to 0.5 ml occurred after release of an outlet obstruction. One device was fitted with a variable high pressure alarm. This device could also measure pressure in the infused vessel and was found to be accurate for measurements of central venous pressure. The cost of consumables for a single use for syringe pumps ranges from A$2 to $5, for peristaltic and roller pumps from A$1 to $10, and for cassette pumps from A$7 to $12, with an additional A$2 for a burette. Accurate delivery of intravenous fluids and drugs is available but is expensive and requires the operator to be specially trained. No simple, cheap, accurate device is yet available.

Design And Production

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.  Keywords: Nurse; design; infusion pump; enteral nutrition; patient safety.

Technical Performance

Technology acceptance is an important predictor of end user technology usage. Perceptions of technology characteristics relating to usability and technical performance are particularly important to understanding user acceptance. This paper reports on the implementation of Smart intravenous infusion pumps at a tertiary care hospital. Nurse user perceptions of the technology usability (five dimensions), technical performance, and acceptance were measured one month after implementation. Overall, 42% of nurses responded positively towards accepting the pump. For 21 of 23 usability characteristics and performance questions, nurses were more likely to report neutral perceptions than positive or negative perceptions. The highest positive perceptions were for ease of learning to operate the pump and reliability of the pump. Six characteristics predicted end-user acceptance. Perceptions that the IV pump enhanced job effectiveness, made the job easier, increased safety of care, and functioned as expected predicted higher acceptance, while perceptions that alarm messages were frustrating and the pump interface was rigid predicted lower acceptance. Therefore, a new finding provided in this study is that highlighting improved patient safety when hospitals implement Smart intravenous infusion pumps may improve user acceptance of the pump.
