A - Introduction
Do not operate the T34 Syringe Pump until you have read and understood the contents of this
manual paying close attention to Warnings, Cautions & Notes as described below. If you are
unsure about any aspect contact the distributor or manufacturer.
This manual will ensure the Healthcare Provider will be able to: -
1. Identify the features of the T34 and understand their use
2. Correctly load a syringe into the T34
3. Program the T34 to deliver the contents of the syringe
4. Access and interpret patient history and event log data
5. Troubleshoot and resolve alarm conditions
6. Train patients and/or patient’s caregiver in the use of the T34.
What is the T34 Syringe Pump?
The T34 is a small, lightweight, robust, battery powered, ambulatory syringe Pump designed to
deliver the contents of a 2 to 50ml syringe over a specified duration or at a given rate in
milliliters per hour (ml/hr). The Pump actuator drives the syringe plunger forward at a controlled
rate. This rate is adjustable from 0.1 to 1000 ml/h in increments of 0.1 ml/h up to 100 ml and 1
ml up to 1000 ml/h.
The size and weight of the T34 makes it ideal for ambulatory use in a hospital or alternate site /
homecare setting. It is equally suitable for adults or for pediatric use.
The T34 syringe pump can be easily concealed beneath clothing in a shoulder holster and
combination belt. A compact lockbox is provided to protect the Pump from damage and/or
tampering with either the pump or the syringe.
T34 offers 3 point syringe detection enabling the pump to identify all commonly used (or
programmed) syringe brands. This feature ensures the pump can make calculations for the
healthcare provider therefore minimizing the risk of programming errors. The sensors also
activate an alarm if the syringe is removed or partially displaced during infusion.
The T34 syringe pump may be used to deliver indicated medications via any common infusion
routes including central, peripheral venous, epidural, intra-arterial or subcutaneous.
Indications for Use
The T34 SYRINGE DRIVER is designed for infusion of medications or fluids requiring
continuous or intermittent delivery at precisely controlled infusion rates through all clinically
acceptable routes of administration including intravenous, subcutaneous, percutaneous, intra-
arterial, epidural, enteral, in close proximity to nerves, and into an intraoperative site (soft
tissue/body cavity/surgical wound site). The system is intended for patients who require
maintenance medications, analgesics, PCA therapy, parenteral and enteral nutrition fluids,
chemotherapeutic agents and general fluids therapy in hospital and homecare environments.
