title: Evaluation of the IVAC 560 volumetric pump. A clinical and laboratory study.
abstract: The performance of a new combined infusion pump and central venous pressure monitor, the IVAC 560, has been evaluated in laboratory and clinical studies. The pump performed accurately and reliably, and the pressure readings obtained from the pump correlated well with conventional methods of pressure measurement, although they lost accuracy when using 50% dextrose at higher venous pressures.
