Ambulatory and Specialty Infusion Devices

This foundational course delves into the principles, operation, and technical support of diverse medical devices integral to ambulatory and specialty infusion services. Students will begin by exploring the fundamental concepts of fluid dynamics and volumetric delivery, progressing to the classification and functional differences across various device types, including syringe, volumetric, and patient-controlled modalities. The curriculum emphasizes the identification of common mechanical, electrical, and software-related malfunctions, alongside best practices for calibration, preventative maintenance, and quality assurance. Through theoretical instruction and hands-on exercises, participants will develop proficiency in interpreting technical documentation, performing diagnostic testing, and implementing effective repair strategies. Ethical considerations, patient safety protocols, and regulatory compliance specific to these critical systems are also thoroughly integrated throughout the course, preparing technicians for real-world support challenges in diverse healthcare settings.
