WORKING MECHANISM OF INFUSION SYSTEM

A syringe pump is a small, positive-displacement pump used to gradually

transfer precise volumes of fluid. Chemyx Fusion Series syringe pumps are
all driven via a stepper motor. A lead screw, threaded through a pusher
block, precisely turns the pump’s stepper motor. This causes the pusher
block to move.

The fluid ejects at an accurate and precise rate during infusion mode, when
the pusher block pushes against the plunger of a secured syringe. Brackets
on the pusher block hold the plunger of the syringe for withdrawal
capabilities.

When the stepper motor turns in the opposite direction, the pusher block
moves such that the syringe plunger is pulled, thus drawing fluid into the
syringe. For the Fusion Series syringe pumps, the pusher block moves to
the right for infusion and to the left for withdrawal.

 Controlled Elements

All our Fusion syringe pump systems have a single lead screw threaded

through a pusher block. The pusher block moves when the lead screw
turns. The two guide rods keep the pusher block horizontal and perfectly
perpendicular to the lead screw. The block-release button disengages the
pusher block from the lead screw.

Move the pusher block to a new position by holding down the button.
Releasing the button will lock the pusher block back in place.

Place the syringes on the syringe-holder block in the v-shaped grooves, or

channels, and hold securely using syringe clamps. The Fusion
100 and Fusion 200 both have two syringe channels. The safety collar of
the Fusion 100 and Fusion 200 helps protect the integrity of the syringes by
keeping the pusher block from pushing on a completely depressed syringe.
