Comparative Anaysis of The Accuracy of Several Types of Syringe Brands With Flowrate And Volume Parameters on Syringe Pump

Abstract

In the field, especially in hospitals, syringe stock that is in accordance with limited units makes the hospital use different brands of syringes. This case is a major concern in the development of the use  of syringe pumps, especially in terms of the use of syringes. Therefore, in order for the use of the syringe to be in accordance with the setting value, a test is required. The purpose of this study is to determine the accuracy level of flowrate and volume of different brands of syringes so that the flow rate of drug doses entering the patient's body is accurate and according to the setting. The type of research used is quantitative, by measuring and comparing the accuracy level of 3 types of syringe brands where the original syringe from the unit, namely Terumo, with the syringe brand that is not in accordance with the unit, namely Nipro and B Braun with the same size, namely 50 mL which is measured based on flowrate and volume parameters. This test uses the Naully 1CSiB-2101 calibration simulator as a support and a 100 mL measuring cup as a volume measurement and comparison of the output values in the simulator with the values in the measuring cups. The results in the measurement  of the flowrate parameter of  the Terumo brand syringe have an accuracy of 94.00% and an error of 6.00%, the Nipro syringe of 99.98% and the error of 0.02% and the B Braun syringe of 99.99% and an error of 0.01%. In the measurement of the volume parameter of the Terumo syringe, it obtained an accuracy of 99.90% and an error of 0.09%, then the Nipro syringe was 94.00% and the error was 6.00%, the B Braun syringe was 100.00% and the error was 0%. So it can be concluded that the Terumo, Nipro and B Braun brand syringes can be used normally and are still within the tolerance limit of ±10% (ECRI (Emergency Care Research Institute) Standard)).
