The Department of Biomedical Engineering is pleased to announce the preparation and publication of comprehensive information panels for the ARGUS 707 Infusion Pump, as part of our ongoing efforts to enhance technical engineering knowledge of critical care devices.
An infusion pump is an indispensable tool for delivering safe and controlled treatment. The new panels are designed to document its technical details and maintenance procedures.
About the ARGUS 707 Infusion Pump:
• Device Name: ARGUS 707 Infusion Pump.
• Manufacturer: ARGUS Medical AG / Fresenius Kabi (Switzerland/Europe).
• Primary Function: This pump is a vital device for controlling the delivery of fluids and medications at precise doses and defined flow rates (volumetric infusion). It is equipped with basic protection alarms against air ingress and reservoir emptying, ensuring the highest levels of patient safety.
What do the new information panels include?
The newly prepared panels focus on critical engineering and procedural aspects to ensure pump accuracy and readiness, including:
1. Components and Accessories: Identify essential components, such as IV tubing sets, battery pack, power adapter, flow controls, and spare valves.
2. Preventive Maintenance Program: Highlight the periodic maintenance schedule (daily/weekly/monthly/annually), starting with a daily visual inspection and exterior cleaning, continuing with a weekly battery health check and low flow rate test, monthly periodic calibration and alarm function verification, and an annual 24-hour accuracy test.
We invite all students and technicians to review these panels to deepen their understanding of the operation and maintenance of this sensitive device, contributing to achieving quality and sustainability standards in the medical field.
