Imed Gemini PC-1 Infusion Pump

IMED GEMINI PC-1
IV PUMP

The IMED Gemini PC-1 is a single channel volumetric infusion pump and controller which provides accurate and automatic infusion of intravenous drugs and fluids.

The PC-1 may be operated as either a pump or a controller, or it may be configured as only one or the other using a lockout feature.

Secondary (or piggyback) fluid may also be automatically infused at delivery rates and volumes independent of the primary infusion parameters, with automatic changeover to the primary infusion parameters when the secondary infusion is complete and when using an ADD-I-MED administration set.

Computer operation is provided when the PC-1 is interfaced with a host computer. The technical data necessary to interface the PC-1 with a host computer is provided in the C-2 Programming Guide.

The PC-1 can be set to run in three different operating conditions:

INDEPENDENT Operation - the PC-1 operates as a stand-alone instrument, with no computer interface.
MONITOR Operation - the PC-1 controls the infusion and a host computer monitors instrument operation.
COMPUTER CONTROL Operation - the PC-1 is under the control of a host computer, which sets the infusion parameters and monitors PC-1 operation.
