一種新型灌輸泵是無磁性的智能灌輸系統(tǒng)，設(shè)計(jì)在核磁共振掃描檢查中使用，允許患者在掃描檢查過程中安全持續(xù)的接受靜脈給藥。

Mridium灌輸泵是由Iradimed公司研制開發(fā)的，滿足了那些在MRI掃描檢查的時(shí)候，需要持續(xù)灌輸藥物來獲得高清晰度影象檢查進(jìn)行診斷與治療的患者的需要。這種泵已經(jīng)獲得了美國食品藥品管理局的許可。

這種灌輸泵被設(shè)計(jì)把將醫(yī)院當(dāng)前使用的灌輸泵安全簡便地轉(zhuǎn)換為受到保護(hù)的稱做Mridium MRI旁路灌輸裝置，允許操作者Leur-Lock當(dāng)前使用的靜脈無針裝置，而無需切斷或者中斷靜脈通路，減少了由于切斷管道與其他系統(tǒng)連接所帶來感染的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。

這套泵被設(shè)計(jì)滿足醫(yī)院不斷增長的需求。使用這種制式外型，將發(fā)揮真正的雙通道灌輸泵的功能，將來還會(huì)有計(jì)劃中的制式以及遠(yuǎn)程顯示特性，將允許操作者從MRI檢查室之外控制這種系統(tǒng)。這種技術(shù)包括內(nèi)置式速度計(jì)算器、一次大量給藥、可升級(jí)軟件、壽命長達(dá)12小時(shí)的電池、易流保護(hù)、以及跟蹤系統(tǒng)記錄5000項(xiàng)鍵盤輸入的資料。
 
MRI-Compatible Infusion Pump
 
A new infusion pump is a nonmagnetic smart infusion system designed for the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) environment, enabling patients to receive intravenous (IV) medications safely and continuously during the course of a scanning procedure.

The Mridium infusion pump, developed by Iradimed Corp. (Winter Park, FL, USA), addresses a critical need for patients on continuous infusion therapy whose diagnosis and treatment increasingly rely on the high-resolution images provided by MRI scans. The pump has been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

This infusion pump has been designed for fast and easy transfer from hospitals’ current infusion pumps utilizing a novel patent-pending design called the Mridium MRI bypass infusion set, which allows users to Leur-Lock onto their current IV needle-free sets without removing or disconnecting the IV line, reducing the risk of infection from disconnecting tubing with other technologies.

The pump is designed to grow with the hospitals’ needs. With its modular shape, it will have the ability to function as a true dual-channel infusion pump, along with future planned modules and a remote display feature that will allow users to control the technology from outside the MRI environment. This technology includes a built-in dose rate calculator, bolus delivery, upgradeable software technology, up to 12-hour battery life, free flow protection, and a tracking system for logging over 5,000 data input keystrokes.
