title: [Aspects of pressure build-up in the use of electronic infusion devices. I. Need for adequate output pressure].
abstract: Today, the requirements infusion pumps and syringe pumps have to meet concerning the maximum pressure limit are based on aspects of technical feasibility rather than on clinical needs. Since, in the case of common operational disorders, factors such as time to alarm, bolus volume and accuracy depend on the pressure characteristics, a maximum pressure limit standard needs to be defined for routine clinical applications. For general application with peripheral and central venous lines this pressure limit should be under 15 psi and should allow step-by-step adjustment to even lower values.
