Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Medfusion 3500 Syringe Pump (Revision 5.0)?
The Medfusion® 3500 Syringe Pump Revision 5.0 is a smart syringe infusion pump designed for the accurate delivery of medications, blood products, and other fluids requiring precise low-volume infusion. It is widely used in hospitals, neonatal intensive care units (NICU), pediatric departments, anesthesia, emergency medicine, surgery, and adult critical care. Revision 5.0 provides enhanced software features, improved diagnostics, and expanded medication safety capabilities compared to earlier software revisions.
What types of medications can the Medfusion 3500 deliver?
The Medfusion 3500 is designed to administer a wide range of medications including vasoactive drugs, sedatives, analgesics, insulin, antibiotics, chemotherapy agents, neonatal medications, pediatric infusions, blood products, and other therapies requiring highly accurate syringe-based delivery.
What makes the Medfusion 3500 a smart syringe pump?
The Medfusion 3500 incorporates PharmGuard® medication safety software, customizable drug libraries, automatic syringe recognition, FlowSentry™ pressure monitoring technology, and multiple programmable infusion modes that help improve medication safety while simplifying clinician workflow.
What is PharmGuard® medication safety software?
PharmGuard® allows healthcare facilities to build facility-specific drug libraries containing medication names, concentrations, dosing limits, and care area profiles. During programming, the pump compares entered infusion parameters against these limits to help reduce medication errors before therapy begins.
Does the Medfusion 3500 include a drug library?
Contact us about drug library. Revision 5.0 supports customizable drug libraries with multiple care area profiles, standardized medications, concentration limits, and dosing parameters established by each healthcare facility. This allows hospitals to standardize infusion practices across departments.
Do refurbished Medfusion 3500 pumps include a drug library?
Typically, no. Drug libraries are developed and maintained by individual healthcare facilities and are customized to their medications, concentrations, patient populations, and clinical protocols. During refurbishment, previous facility drug libraries are generally removed. The purchasing facility is responsible for installing and validating its own drug library before clinical use.
Can the Medfusion 3500 operate without a drug library?
Yes. The pump can operate using standard infusion programming without a loaded drug library. However, medication safety features such as standardized medication selections, drug-specific dosing limits, and clinical advisories are only available when a facility-specific drug library has been installed.
Can Outfront Medical install my hospital's drug library?
In most cases, no. Drug libraries are maintained by each healthcare facility through its pharmacy, biomedical engineering, nursing leadership, and clinical informatics departments. Software compatibility should always be verified before integrating refurbished pumps into an existing fleet.
What syringe sizes are supported?
The Medfusion 3500 automatically recognizes syringes from multiple manufacturers and supports syringe sizes ranging from 1 mL through 60 mL. Automatic syringe recognition helps improve infusion accuracy while reducing setup errors.
What infusion modes are available?
The Medfusion 3500 supports numerous delivery modes including mL/hr, body weight dosing, mass dosing, volume over time, custom dilution, intermittent infusion, bolus dose, loading dose, and KVO (Keep Vein Open). These flexible programming options allow the pump to accommodate virtually every syringe infusion application.
What is FlowSentry™ Technology?
FlowSentry™ Technology continuously monitors infusion pressure trends and helps detect downstream occlusions earlier than conventional pressure monitoring systems. Earlier occlusion detection helps reduce therapy interruptions and improve medication delivery accuracy.
Is the Medfusion 3500 MRI compatible?
Yes. The Medfusion 3500 may be used outside the 150 Gauss line with shielded MRI systems up to 1.5 Tesla when operated according to the manufacturer's guidelines.
How long does the battery last?
The internal rechargeable battery provides approximately 10 hours of operation at an infusion rate of 5.0 mL/hr using a 60 mL syringe, depending on operating conditions and battery condition.
What improvements does Revision 5.0 offer?
Revision 5.0 introduced improved software reliability, expanded drug library capabilities, enhanced diagnostics, improved biomedical service functions, and compatibility improvements over earlier Revision 3 and Revision 4 software. Many hospitals selected Revision 5.0 to standardize software across their Medfusion 3500 fleet.
Is Revision 5.0 affected by software recalls?
Revision 5.0 is newer than the earlier Revision 3 and Revision 4 software versions. However, healthcare facilities should always verify the software version, service history, and any manufacturer field corrections or FDA communications before placing any infusion pump into clinical service.
Is this Medfusion 3500 pump new or refurbished?
This Medfusion 3500 Syringe Pump Revision 5.0 has been professionally refurbished, tested, calibrated, and verified for proper operation prior to shipment by Outfront Medical.
What warranty is included?
This refurbished Medfusion 3500 Syringe Pump Revision 5.0 includes a 1-year warranty from Outfront Medical.
Why choose the Medfusion 3500 Syringe Pump Revision 5.0?
The Medfusion 3500 Revision 5.0 combines exceptional infusion accuracy, automatic syringe recognition, customizable drug libraries, PharmGuard® medication safety software, FlowSentry™ occlusion detection, flexible infusion programming, and enhanced software reliability. It remains one of the most trusted syringe pumps for neonatal, pediatric, anesthesia, and critical care applications where precise medication delivery is essential.
