Smiths Medical 3500 Medfusion Syringe Pump Version 4.1 Certified

Smiths Medical Medfusion 3500 Syringe Pump | Version 4.1 | Certified

The Medfusion 3500 Version 4.1 is a micro-precision infusion platform recognized for its exceptional reliability in delivering critical medications. Engineered with specialized pulsation-free motors, this pump ensures smooth, consistent flow even at ultra-low delivery rates. Version 4.1 software enhances the unit with advanced safety features, including Tallman lettering to prevent "look-alike/sound-alike" drug errors and updated drug library configurations for modern 2026 clinical standards.

This certified unit is designed for the high-stakes environments of neonatal intensive care (NICU), pediatric units, and anesthesia, where precise dosing—often measured in micrograms—is required.

Key Specifications

• Manufacturer: Smiths Medical

• Model: Medfusion 3500

• Software Version: 4.1 (Certified)

• Accuracy: $\pm 2\%$ (excluding syringe variations)

• Flow Rate Range: 0.01 mL/hr to 1130 mL/hr

• Syringe Compatibility: 1 mL to 60 mL (Auto-detection of major brands)

• Delivery Modes: Continuous, Volume/Time, Mass, Body Weight, Intermittent, Bolus

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Micro-Precision Flow Control: The internal motor system is designed to move the syringe piston without the "stepping" pulsation common in standard infusion pumps. This allows for effective delivery of potent vasoactive medications and neonatal infusions at rates as low as 0.01 mL/hr.

• FlowSentr™ Pressure Monitoring: This integrated technology provides real-time pressure sensing. It allows for earlier clinical intervention by detecting occlusions or pressure changes faster than traditional sensors, protecting the integrity of the infusion site.

• Comprehensive Dose Error Reduction System (DERS): Pharmacists can set both "Hard" and "Soft" dosing limits for each drug and care profile. This prevents clinicians from accidentally programming a dose that falls outside of the facility's safety protocols.

• Ergonomic Horizontal Design: The horizontal orientation protects the entire syringe barrel from accidental boluses caused by external contact. This design also facilitates intuitive, one-handed syringe loading, speeding up workflow in emergent situations.

• Tallman Lettering & High-Visibility Display: The large backlit screen utilizes Tallman lettering (e.g., DOPamine vs. DOBUTamine) to assist clinicians in verifying drug names and concentrations, a critical barrier against high-alert medication errors.

• Multi-Route Capability: Validated for various administration routes, including Intravenous, Arterial, Epidural, Intrathecal, Subcutaneous, and Enteral.

Ideal Applications

• Neonatal & Pediatric Intensive Care: Where micro-dosing and high-precision accuracy are non-negotiable.

• Anesthesia & Operating Rooms: Ideal for the administration of lipids, antibiotics, and anesthetic agents during surgery.

• Critical Care (ICU/CCU): For the precise titration of blood products, vasoactive drugs, and therapeutic fluids.

• Epidural & Pain Management: Providing secure, controlled delivery of analgesics.

Quality Assurance & Support

• Status: Certified Pre-Owned — Rigorously Tested.

• Warranty: 90-day parts and labor warranty included.

• Calibration: Fully calibrated to manufacturer specifications and updated to Version 4.1 software.

• Fulfillment: Standard lead time is 3–5 days for final certification and quality check before dispatch.
