Pumping Mechanism and Delivery Accuracy
A volumetric infusion pump delivers a set volume of fluid over time by driving the IV set mechanically instead of relying on gravity. The KellyMed KL-8052N (VM-IFPKL8052N) uses a curvilinear peristaltic pumping mechanism, which is compatible with IV sets of any standard, and electronic flow control with a delivery accuracy of 3%. It is designed for continuous infusion of cardiovascular drugs, antibiotics, chemotherapy and total parenteral nutrition. Beijing KellyMed Co., Ltd. has manufactured infusion equipment since 1994, and the pump is certified to ISO 9001:2008, ISO 13485 and CE.
Flow Control, Alarms and Safety Features
The flow rate adjusts from 0.1 to 1500ml/h in 0.1ml/h increments, which covers precise NICU microdosing through to rapid fluid resuscitation. Bolus delivery (100 to 1500ml/h in 1ml/h increments, with a bolus volume of 1 to 20ml in 1ml increments) and a purge function support clinical needs, and VTBI can be set from 1 to 9999ml. The KVO (keep vein open) rate of 0.1 to 5ml/h maintains catheter patency between infusions. The alarm system covers occlusion, air-in-line (ultrasonic detection), door open, end of program, low battery, AC power failure, motor malfunction and system malfunction. Occlusion sensitivity is user-selectable at high, medium or low.
Battery, Thermostat and Deployment
The rechargeable 9.6V battery provides 6 hours of operation at 125ml/h, so infusions can continue during patient transport between departments. A built-in thermostat, adjustable from 30 to 45°C, warms the infusate towards body temperature, which matters in neonatal (NICU) applications where the risk of hypothermia is significant. Optional wireless management allows remote monitoring in connected hospital environments. The pump runs on 110/230V AC, 50 to 60Hz, 20VA, measures 174 x 126 x 215mm and weighs 2.5kg. Available in South Africa from Vital Medical, the KL-8052N suits hospitals, neonatal units, oncology wards, ICUs and emergency departments that need a compact volumetric pump for continuous infusion.
