The document describes the McKinley T34 syringe pump. It has advantages like single model configuration to avoid confusion, 3-point syringe detection for secure placement, automatic calculation functions, and an LCD screen with instructions. The document outlines the syringe pump setup process which involves loading the syringe, priming tubing, confirming placement, and starting the infusion. It recommends checking the pump and display during infusion to ensure proper delivery.

2. Syringe Pump
• A syringe driver or syringe pump is a small infusion pump (some
include infuse and withdraw capability), used to
gradually administer small amounts of fluid (with or without
medication) to a patient or for use in chemical and biomedical
research.
• The most popular use of syringe drivers is in palliative care, to
continuously
administer analgesics (painkillers), antiemetic (medication to
suppress nausea and vomiting) and other drugs. This prevents
periods during which medication levels in the blood are too high or
too low, and avoids the use of multiple tablets (especially in people
who have difficulty swallowing). As the medication is
administered subcutaneously, the area for administration is
practically limitless, although edema may interfere with the action of
some drugs.

3. ADVANTAGES OF T34
• SINGLE MODEL,
THEREFORE NO
CONFUSION
• 3 POINT CONTACT
DETECTION
• SYRINGE RECOGNITION
• AUTOMATIC CALCULATION
• LCD AND INSTRUCTIONS
• PUMP CAN BE
CONFIGURED
• LOG EVENT MEMORY
• SUPERIOR RANGE OF
ALARMS

4. DISADVANTAGES OF T34
[ When compared with Graseby ]
• Weight
• Size
• Battery life

5. T 34 Keypad
1. INFO; access event log, Set Up (code protected), battery status,
keypad lock.
2. UP/DOWN arrow keys- scroll through options
3. YES/START key- confirms selection/starts infusion.
4. NO/STOP- step back a screen/stops infusion.
5. FF (forward)-moves actuator forward
6. BACK-moves actuator back
7. ON/OFF

6. T34 LCD Screen
• 4 Line Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
• Backlit – activated on any key press (time
adjust/ disable)
• Displays infusion parameters and user
instructions

7. Infusion set up and
Programming
• Draw up prescribed medication and diluent to a minimum volume of
12 millilitres in the syringe. The volume may need to be greater than
this in some circumstances.
• Manually prime the extension set and Saf-t-intima set.
• DO NOT load syringe, ensure barrel clamp bar is down.
• Switch the pump on.
• Screen displays the following …..Pre-Loading…. message
•when pre-load has finished use the FF or BACK keys to adjust the
actuator position if required (forward movement limited + no clutch)

8. Syringe Placement
• Lift the barrel clamp
• Seat syringe collar/ear and
plunger so the back of the
collar/ear sits against the
back of the central slot
(ensure correct placement)
• Lower barrel clamp arm
• Screen syringe graphic
ceases to flash at each
point as syringe is correctly
seated.
• If any point continues to
flash, check the placement
at that point.

9. Summary Screen and Starting
the Pump
• The summary screen confirms:
– Volume to be infused
– Duration of infusion
– Rate (ml/h)
• Press YES to confirm
• Pump prompts START
INFUSION?
• Check line is connected to
access device or insert
cannulae, ensure clamp is off
and press YES to start infusion
• What are the indicators that
the pump is infusing?

10. Recommended Checks During
Infusion
• Check the display- pump
is delivering & infusion
rate is as programmed
• Press the INFO key to
check – Single press – VTBI &
VI (volume infused)
– Double press- battery
