SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING ACCURACY OF A SYRINGE PUMP

Abstract: the subject technology provides for monitoring accuracy of an infusion device, particularly a syringe pump. a drive head pushes on a plunger to infuse a fluid from a syringe. during the infusion, a location of a drive head of the device is monitored using one or more proximity sensors. the monitored location is compared to a location determined by way of mechanical means and if different by more than a threshold amount, a safety operation is initiated, which may include an alert, change in motor speed, or termination of the infusion.
