T34 is a small, lightweight, robust, battery powered, ambulatory syringe pump designed to deliver the contents of most commonly used 2 to 50ml syringes over a specified duration or at a given rate in milliliters per hour (ml/hr). A screw drives the pump actuator and syringe plunger forward at a controlled rate. This rate is adjustable from 0.1 to 1000 ml/h in increments of 0.1 ml/h up to 100 ml and 1 ml from 100 to 1000 ml/h. The size and weight of the T34 makes it ideal for ambulatory use in either a hospital or homecare/out-patient setting. It is equally suitable for adults or for paediatric use. The syringe pump can be easily concealed beneath clothing in a shoulder holster and combination belt. A compact lockbox is available to protect the Pump from damage and/or tampering with the pump or displacement of the syringe. T34 offers 3 point syringe detection enabling the pump to identify all commonly used (or programmed) syringe brands. This feature ensures the pump can make volume & rate calculations thereby minimising the risk of user programming errors. The sensors also activate an alarm if the syringe is removed or partially displaced during infusion. The pump may be used to deliver via any common infusion routes including central, peripheral venous, epidural, intra-arterial or subcutaneous providing the medicines being administered are licensed for such use. WARNING: T34 is a medical device designed for the safe, accurate delivery of appropriate infusion regimes and should only be operated by, or under the supervision of, a medical professional. Incorrect or inappropriate use could lead to serious injury or death.
