Curlin 4000 Plus Infusion Pump

Curlin 4000 Plus Infusion Pump

The Curlin 4000 Plus Clinical Management System is a multi-therapy ambulatory electronic infusion pump renowned for its low risk of medication errors. This advanced pump supports a variety of infusion modes—including continuous, PCA (patient-controlled analgesia), PCEA (patient-controlled epidural analgesia), subcutaneous, YPN, intermittent, and variable modes—making it ideal for a broad range of clinical applications. It continuously monitors and displays line pressure to help detect potential catheter issues such as occlusion, obstruction, or pinched-off lines, ensuring safe and effective therapy. One of its standout features is an exceptional low flow resolution of just 2 micrometers, which is significantly better than that of other ambulatory pumps.

Key Modes and Features:

• Continuous Infusion:
  Delivers a constant, programmed rate of infusion for steady fluid delivery.

• Patient-Controlled Analgesia (PCA):
  Supports therapies requiring a continuous infusion rate along with patient-controlled bolus doses, ensuring timely pain relief.

• TPN with Automatic Ramping:
  Provides a consistent infusion rate for parenteral nutritional products with options for tapering at the beginning, end, or both, and includes an early ramp-down feature.

• Intermittent Delivery:
  Delivers infusate in programmed intervals and rates, with the option to infuse small amounts between doses to keep the patient’s access site patent.

• Variable Program:
  Allows the delivery of varying amounts, rates, and times across up to twenty-four distinct programs to meet complex clinical needs.
