Abstract: A Syringe pump is a device used for the administration of medicines, having a predetermined amount of doses, into the patients with prolonging injection time. The problem of continuous pump monitoring, drug status, injection time, and manual control are common drawbacks of all existing syringe pumps. In this study, all the aforesaid problems are addressed by the proposed syringe pump which offers wireless control of the pump from the nursing station via any android device having authorised access to the pump. Moreover, this study also proposes a centralised control of multiple syringe pumps, within a 30-m range, such that a single android device can access multiple syringe pumps installed in ICU/CCU, and perform all the drug injection control tasks. The proposed concept is executed by controlling two syringe pumps from a single android device.

Keywords: telemedicine; biomedical instrumentation; centralised control; syringe pump.
