Infusion pump: A small electromechanical medical device
designed specically for delivering precise amounts of medi-
cation into the body. e CADD-MS
™
3 pump systems are
controlled by two microprocessors (computer chips) which
continuously monitor each other to make sure the systems
are working properly.
Occlusion: Blockage. Occlusions are associated with the infu-
sion set and/or access site, and mean that medication delivery
is stopped. Blockage can be caused by a number of things,
including the tubing being pinched or kinked, the cannula or
needle being blocked, as well as other reasons.
Pushrod: On the CADD-MS
™
3 pump, the cartridge is attached
to the pushrod and, when the pump is started, the motor causes
the pushrod to move forward and push medication through
the infusion set into the body.
