IRadimed公司研制出与核磁共振兼容的灌输系统

一种新型灌输泵是无磁性的智能灌输系统，设计在核磁共振扫描检查中使用，允许患者在扫描检查过程中安全持续的接受静脉给药。

Mridium灌输泵是由Iradimed公司研制开发的，满足了那些在MRI扫描检查的时候，需要持续灌输药物来获得高清晰度影象检查进行诊断与治疗的患者的需要。这种泵已经获得了美国食品药品管理局的许可。

这种灌输泵被设计把将医院当前使用的灌输泵安全简便地转换为受到保护的称做Mridium MRI旁路灌输装置，允许操作者Leur-Lock当前使用的静脉无针装置，而无需切断或者中断静脉通路，减少了由于切断管道与其他系统连接所带来感染的风险。

这套泵被设计满足医院不断增长的需求。使用这种制式外型，将发挥真正的双通道灌输泵的功能，将来还会有计划中的制式以及远程显示特性，将允许操作者从MRI检查室之外控制这种系统。这种技术包括内置式速度计算器、一次大量给药、可升级软件、寿命长达12小时的电池、易流保护、以及跟踪系统记录5000项键盘输入的资料。
 
MRI-Compatible Infusion Pump
 
A new infusion pump is a nonmagnetic smart infusion system designed for the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) environment, enabling patients to receive intravenous (IV) medications safely and continuously during the course of a scanning procedure.

The Mridium infusion pump, developed by Iradimed Corp. (Winter Park, FL, USA), addresses a critical need for patients on continuous infusion therapy whose diagnosis and treatment increasingly rely on the high-resolution images provided by MRI scans. The pump has been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

This infusion pump has been designed for fast and easy transfer from hospitals’ current infusion pumps utilizing a novel patent-pending design called the Mridium MRI bypass infusion set, which allows users to Leur-Lock onto their current IV needle-free sets without removing or disconnecting the IV line, reducing the risk of infection from disconnecting tubing with other technologies.

The pump is designed to grow with the hospitals’ needs. With its modular shape, it will have the ability to function as a true dual-channel infusion pump, along with future planned modules and a remote display feature that will allow users to control the technology from outside the MRI environment. This technology includes a built-in dose rate calculator, bolus delivery, upgradeable software technology, up to 12-hour battery life, free flow protection, and a tracking system for logging over 5,000 data input keystrokes.
