Volumetric Infusion Pump Flo-Gard 6201 Refurbished

The Flo-Gard 6201 Single Channel Volumetric Infusion Pump is an electromechanical pump used for the intravenous infusion of liquids at user-selected rates. The pump contains a linear peristaltic pump head which is programmable and permits infusion of primary and secondary medication programs. The secondary program automatically switches over to the primary program when secondary infusion is complete (automatic piggybacking).

The pump operates on standard 115 VAC 60 Hz electrical power, or on its self-contained rechargeable battery. It is portable and has a panel lock-out feature to prevent patient tampering. It is designed for use with Baxters standard administration sets which contain an s as the last character of the code number, for example, 20537s. When infusing solutions through a central line catheter, sets with a Luer lock adapter should be used. Sets with a Flashball device are not recommended in these applications.

The primary rate of infusion is selectable from 1 to 1,999 mL in 1 mL/hr increments and 1 .O to 99.9 mL/hr in 0.1 mL/hr increments. The secondary rate is selectable from 1 to 999 mL in 1 mL/hr increments and 1 .O to 99.9 mL/hr in 0.1 mL/hr increments. The volume to be infused (VTBI) is also selectable from 1 to 9,999 mL in 1 mL increments and 1.0 to 99.9 mL in 0.1 mL increments.

The total volumes infused from primary and secondary programs are added together and accumulated and can be displayed on demand. The primary and secondary VTBIs are independently decremented and displayed. Upon completion of the primary VTBI, the pump automatically switches to a keep vein open (KVO) rate. If the pump is started on a secondary rate and VTBI, the pump will change to the primary rate when the secondary program is completed. The pump may be stopped at any time by pressing the STOP key unless the pump is in the lockout mode.

General Information of 6201 Baxter Flo-Gard Infusion Pump IV Therapy

IV Therapy

• IV therapy is used to deliver by infusion, fluids, medication, or nutrients to patients.
• There are two main types of administration of infusion, volumetric and syringe/PCA.

IV Therapy-Volumetric

• These pumps are used when the accuracy of fluid volume to be infused is critical such as in the case of medications used for infusion of drugs for circulatory support.
• Volumetric pumps deliver a given volume of fluid per unit time measured in mL/hour.
• Volumetric pumps can be single or multi channel. Both types allow for the administration of more than one fluid at a time. Single channel employs a piggyback method while multi-channel uses separate tubing set up for the administration of multiple medications or fluids

IV Therapy-Syringe

• Syringe pumps are used to administer small volumes of fluids or medications. (1 mL to 60 mL syringe)
• Syringe pumps are an effective way to deliver medication with precision while reducing the chance of human error if the medication were to be administered by a member of the medical staff* (of course human error can occur when inputting data or choosing dose rate over time)
• Like volumetric pumps, syringe pumps can be programmed to deliver the medication over a predetermined time
