1.0 Introduction
The Volumed® µVP7000 Volumetric Infusion Pump has been developed using
the latest state-of-the-art technology. This microprocessor-controlled volumetric
pump operates by pumping the infusate using a peristaltic system. The sterility of
the infusate is not affected. The pump is designed to infuse drugs or other
infusates into the patient by controlled means under pressure.
The Volumed µVP7000 meets the performance requirements of the MDA (UK) for
neonatal and high risk infusions. It can be used in both stationary and
transportable applications as it has a battery life up to 6 hours duration.
Applications include neonatology, intensive and cardiac care, paediatrics,
gynaecology and osbstetrics, surgery and general medicine. It can also be used
in ambulances or for laboratory use. For infusions with very small rates and small
volumes it is recommended to use a syringe pump such as the Syramed®
µSP6000 as the the remaining volume in the administration set can become
significant compared to the infused volume.
The Volumed µVP7000 meets the Medical Device Directive (MDD) requirements
of the EC Guideline 93/42 EEC and is marked CE.
Classification: Class IIb
The manufacturer according to MDD is Arcomed AG, Althardstrasse 146, CH
8105 Regensdorf, Zurich, Switzerland. Responsible for the EC is Arcomedical
