Our trusty dusty mechanical Baxter syringe pumps are apparently dying and replacement parts are hard to find. So they've bought these crappy electronic Smiths Medical Medfusion Syringe Pumps that have a clunky slow digital interface. Anyone have a favorite syringe pump they can recommend? Mainly for propofol infusion with a 60cc syringe. One guy here uses alfentanil and remifentanil drips.

The Alaris ones are awesome.

The Smiths pumps are fine.

The Alaris are fine also.

The Harvard Clinical pumps have a fancy color lcd display but the ones we had broke down withing a few weeks.

I would stick with the Smiths since you got them.
 
Why is it that the Baxter pumps are by far the best pumps that exist yet they are discontinued? I think a group of us should get together and start making similar pumps that we can sell?

I suggest the magnetic plates are a must, like the really old Baxter pumps.
 
My beloved baxter infusOR pumps are disappearing. So simple, so nice. There's a reason heavily used examples are going for 3K on Ebay.
