DEVICE DESCRIPTION

CRONO BASIC is an ambulatory syringe pump designed for the controlled subcutaneous infusions. CRONO BASIC is a product of advanced technology and innovative design. Its reduced size and light weight make it ideal for home use with consequent freedom for the patient to perform daily tasks and enjoy entertainment during the infusion. CRONO BASIC uses 10 and 20 ml syringes designed specifically for the pump. For improved medication absorption CRONO BASIC administers 22 µl per impulse. The advancement mechanism, which acts directly onto the rubber piston of the syringe, allows the pump to reach a high pressure combined with excellent precision in administering the medication. In the event of occlusion of the administration set, an innovative infusion control system allows administration of the infusion to be automatically continued until completion, removing the occlusion. CRONO BASIC is equipped with a liquid crystal display showing the doctor and patient useful information concerning the pump’s programming, function and diagnostics.
