III. CONCLUSIONS
The system developed allows to controlling all the
parameters necessary to the syringe infusion pump. The
mechanical parts used were part of the original pump but
the control hardware and the user web interface was
completely designed. Apart from the infusion parameters,
all the alarms triggered during an infusion, the battery
level – which are parameters related to the equipment, the
health professional handling the pump and the medical
records related to the patient are also recorded in a
database for later information. This system could also be
improved, mainly the interface with the mechanical part
and the microcontroller, specifically inserting a numerical
keypad and a command pushbutton to better control the
infusion pump, deal with different syringes for specific
volumetric flows, and other aesthetic details. Due to time
restraints, more emphasis was given on the development
of the connections to the database and remote controlling
the pump.
