reason, the pump control panel consists usually on a
keypad, for data setting to define the infusion parameters.
The data output is visualized through an alphanumeric
display (Liquid Crystal Display – LCD). This display
shows information on the infusion in course, the total
volume to be infused, the flow rate (ml/h or drops/min),
the total and remaining times and some information about
the alarms. These alarms control the infusion precision,
being set-off in the instant some parameter falls outside
the expected operating interval. There are alarms
indicating misuse or wear out of some parts, which helps
to guarantee the health safety and security of the patient.
