Jorgensen Labs J0027R Bulb & IV Pump

The Jorgensen Labs IV Infusion Pump is an open-system volumetric device that is fully compatible with any high-quality standard IV set (10, 15, 20, or 60 drops/ml). This flexibility allows facilities to program and store up to 40 different brands in the unit’s memory, effectively eliminating the need for expensive, dedicated cassettes. By utilizing a peristaltic finger pump mechanism, the device ensures consistent flow regardless of the tubing manufacturer. This interoperability is a significant advantage for procurement officers looking to standardize hardware while maintaining a diverse consumable supply chain. It empowers technical specialists to use the most cost-effective administration sets available without compromising delivery precision.

This pump features a comprehensive suite of audio and visual alarms, including ultrasonic air-in-line detection and dual-channel occlusion sensors. These sensors are highly adjustable, with eight levels of sensitivity to prevent false alarms while still catching critical upstream or downstream blockages. The unit also monitors for door-open states, low battery, and "infusion complete" scenarios to ensure continuous patient safety. An automatic KVO (Keep Vein Open) rate of 1 ml/hr initiates immediately upon the conclusion of a program to prevent catheter clotting. These redundant safety protocols are essential for high-stakes clinical environments where constant manual monitoring is not always feasible.

The integrated IV line warmer is a standout feature that maintains fluid temperatures between 25°C and 40°C (77°F–104°F) to prevent patient hypothermia during large-volume infusions. By wrapping the IV tubing through the warming grooves on the side of the unit, the fluid is heated immediately before entering the patient without requiring a separate, bulky warming device. This integration streamlines the surgical suite by reducing cable clutter and the number of power outlets required for a single patient. The heater is independently controlled via the menu, allowing facility managers to conserve battery power during mobile or field transport when warming is not required. This feature is particularly vital for neonatal care and long-duration surgeries in small animal and equine practices.

This pump supports a wide delivery range from 1.0 ml/hr up to 1,200 ml/hr, adjustable in 0.1 ml increments for micro-infusion accuracy. Technical specialists can set volume limits from 1 ml to 9,999 ml, making the device equally suitable for a 2-kg kitten or a 500-kg equine patient. The interface allows for programming by rate, time, or total volume, providing the flexibility needed for various clinical protocols such as TPN or bolus dosing. Its high-brightness LCD display ensures that these parameters are legible from across the ward, even under intense surgical lighting. This scalability across species makes the J1060 series a versatile asset for multi-species veterinary hospitals and research institutions.

Choosing the Jorgensen Labs IV pump provides a superior TCO by saving an estimated $600 per pump, per year, through the use of non-proprietary consumables. Because the device does not require dedicated pumping cassettes, the per-procedure cost is reduced to the price of a standard gravity IV set. The durable Ni-MH rechargeable battery provides up to four hours of portable operation, reducing the need for frequent battery replacements common in cheaper, consumer-grade alternatives. Furthermore, the detachable peristaltic finger cassette can be removed for thorough cleaning, extending the mechanical life of the pump and reducing maintenance downtime. For large-scale facilities, these cumulative savings in disposables and upkeep result in a rapid return on investment (ROI) within the first year of operation.
