Description
The Haines® Syringe Pump Pouch (formerly the NIKI Pump Pouch ) is designed to allow the wearer to stay mobile while receiving an infusion, often for the treatment of chronic pain.
A small bag with straps, the Syringe Pump Pouch holds and protects a patient medication delivery or 'infusion' device called the BD BodyGuard TM T Syringe Pump (formerly known as the T34 TM Ambulatory Syringe Driver or NIKI Pump ). Used widely across Australia, the pump itself is a clever little device – a small, portable, programmable unit that delivers the contents of a 2 to 50ml syringe over a specified period of time (eg 24 hours). It acts like a dripper irrigation system, delivering a consistent supply of liquid medication to a patient over time.
The syringe pump is placed inside a 'lockbox', which prevents intervention with the infusion. The lockbox is then placed inside the Haines® Syringe Pump Pouch , which is carried or worn comfortably on the patient's body for safe transportation of the syringe pump around the hospital, at home or out-and-about. They are issued as a mobile alternative to a cumbersome 'pump pole' for the sustained delivery of pain relief (eg Ketamine).
The Syringe Pump Pouch is a single patient use item to avoid cross contamination and should be discarded after use by a single patient or if soiled.
BENEFITS
Haines® Syringe Pump Pouches provide substantial cost savings when switching from reusable alternatives. Beyond these savings, benefits include:
- A clear window that allows for easy monitoring of the infusion.
- Waist/shoulder straps and thick padding to facilitate a comfortable, secure fit.
- Straps designed to allow the pouch to be worn on the body or carried, if preferred.
- No laundering costs.
- No risk of cross-contamination, due to being a single patient use product.
