The McKinley T34 Syringe Pump
A guide for patients and carers
What is a McKinley T34 syringe pump?
This is a small battery pump with a syringe that has your
medicines in it. The medicines are given through a cannula
which is put into the fatty layer under the skin, and are then
absorbed into your body. The pump will deliver your
medicine slowly over 24 hours.
The pump can be used to give you one, two or three
medicines
