Ambulatory Pump (portable)
Small, light, battery powered syringe or cassette mechanisms. Many of the units in-use have only minimum alarms, therefore both patients and carers should be particularly vigilant in administration observations. Consideration also has to be given for the hazards a portable devices is exposed to e.g. knocks, fluids, electro-magnetic interference etc. In general critical drugs which require constancy of flow should not be administered using ambulatory pumps.
