What to ask before buying an infusion pump.

An infusion pump delivers fluids and medication at a rate your clinical team sets, so it is worth asking the right questions before you buy. Start with compatibility: which infusion sets or syringes does the pump work with, and are they the ones you already use?

Ask about the flow rate range and accuracy, and which alarms the pump provides and how clearly they sound and show. Check how easy the screen and keys are to read and use, especially for staff who move between different wards.

Consider the battery and how long it lasts when the pump is moved with the patient, how the pump is mounted on a stand or bed, and how it is cleaned between patients. Ask what training and support come with it.
