About this equipment
A syringe pump advances the plunger of a standard syringe at a controlled rate, delivering volumes as small as fractions of a millilitre an hour. That precision is needed for drugs where the difference between a therapeutic and a dangerous dose is small — sedatives, opioids, inotropes, insulin. The flip side is that the same precision executes an error exactly as faithfully: a misplaced decimal delivers ten times the intended dose without hesitation. Rate checking against a written prescription is not bureaucracy here, it is the safety mechanism.

The things that are easy to find out too late.
Sale only
Not carried on the rental fleet.
Decimal errors are the danger
The pump delivers exactly what it is told. With sedatives, opioids, inotropes or insulin, a tenfold rate error can be fatal — which is why the rate is checked against a written prescription every time it is set.
Syringe brand affects accuracy
The pump is calibrated against specific syringe dimensions. Substituting a different brand changes delivered volume; use what the pump is set for.
Occlusion alarms can lag
At very low rates, pressure builds slowly and an occlusion may take a long time to alarm. The line and site still need visual checks.
Safety & clinical information
Device information, not medical advice. Suitability for a particular patient is a decision for the treating clinician.
How it is installed and used
Mounted on a stand or rail at the bedside. The technician loads the giving set or syringe, primes the line to clear air, enters the rate and volume limits the treating clinician has specified, and demonstrates the occlusion and end-of-infusion alarms before leaving.
Before delivery
Infusion rate, volume limits and the drug or fluid to be delivered must come from the treating clinician in writing. A trained nurse must be available to load and change the infusion — this is not a device a family sets up alone.
Ongoing care and servicing
Giving sets and syringes are single-use consumables and must be changed on the clinician's schedule. Insertion sites are checked for swelling, coolness or pain at every shift.
When not to use it
- No trained nurse to load and monitor the infusion
- Loading, priming and rate-setting are clinical tasks. An incorrectly primed line or a mistyped rate is a medication error, not a usability problem.
- Use without written rate and volume limits
- The pump will deliver exactly what it is told to. Without prescribed limits there is nothing to check the setting against.
Possible side effects
- Infiltration or extravasation at the cannula site
- Fluid entering the tissue instead of the vein causes swelling and, with some drugs, tissue damage. Sites need checking, not just the pump.
- Phlebitis or local infection
- Prolonged cannulation and breaks in aseptic technique inflame or infect the vein.
- Delayed occlusion alarm at low rates
- At very low infusion rates pressure builds slowly, so an occluded line can go unalarmed for a long period while the patient receives nothing.
Serious risks
Life-threatening, permanently damaging, or requiring hospitalisation.
- Air embolism
- Air left in an unprimed or disconnected line can enter the circulation and is immediately life-threatening.
- Overdose or underdose from a rate error
- A misplaced decimal on a syringe pump delivers ten times the intended dose. With sedatives, opioids or insulin this can be fatal.
Regulatory status
Classified Class C (moderate–high risk) under India's Medical Devices Rules, 2017. CDSCO does not license rental or resale providers and Encone Care claims no CDSCO approval.

Frequently asked questions
What is a syringe pump used for?
Delivering small, precisely controlled volumes of potent drugs — sedatives, opioids, inotropes, insulin — where the therapeutic and dangerous doses are close together. Larger volumes like fluids and antibiotics go through a volumetric infusion pump instead.
Can a syringe pump be used at home?
Yes, commonly in home palliative care, but always with trained nursing cover. Loading, rate-setting and checking against the prescription are clinical tasks.
