Baxter AS50

Baxter AS50 Infusion Pump

The Baxter AS50 is a digital syringe pump designed to handle a wide range of infusion therapies in today’s dynamic clinical settings. It provides both continuous and intermittent infusion options for intravenous solutions—including drug solutions, whole blood, and packed blood cells—and is versatile enough to be used for intravenous, intra-arterial, epidural, or subcutaneous routes. One of its standout features is the ability to piggyback onto an ongoing infusion line, making it easy to deliver a secondary solution when needed.

With programmable flow rates from 0.01 to 438 mL/hr, the AS50 works with standard disposable syringes ranging in size from 1 mL to 60 mL. The pump’s display screen prompts users to enter data about the syringe type and infusion parameters, while a pre-programmable bolus operation supports continuous dosing without any interruption in fluid flow. This thoughtful design ensures accurate and reliable therapy, even during complex treatment protocols.

Key Features:
