Infusion pumps are used to infuse necessary fluids, which includes medications and/or nutrients, to a patient’s circulatory system. Infusion pumps are often used in situations where continuous monitoring and treatment by a nurse or other health staff would be expensive, impractical, or unreliable.

For the purpose of this study, we have classified two general types of infusion pumps:

• General Purpose Infusion Pumps
• Specialty Infusion Pumps

General purpose infusion pumps are used in a variety of applications and settings from basic fluids for hydration to pain medications and antibiotics. General purpose pumps have been used in hospitals, long-term care settings, physician’s offices, and home settings. This can be further broken out to uses specifically in the ED, OR, and neonate departments. Products in the general purpose segment include three product types:

• Large Volume Infusion Pumps
• Ambulatory Infusion Pumps
  • Chemotherapy Pumps
  • Disposable Pumps
• Syringe Infusion Pumps

Specialty infusion pumps are typically designed to accommodate a particular type of fluid or medication. Many of these pumps are used in home settings and are designed to meet the needs of active patients, such as with diabetes patients. Products in the specialty infusion pump segment include:

• Enteral feeding pumps
• Insulin Infusion pumps
• Implantable Infusion pumps
