Abstract
Syringe pumps are described herein. A syringe pump is disclosed comprising a syringe pump body, a flange clamp and a sensing switch. The syringe pump body defining a syringe body recess and a syringe plunger recess, wherein the syringe body recess and the syringe plunger recess are configured to cooperatively receive a syringe. The flange clamp is coupled to a mating surface of the syringe pump body disposed between the syringe body recess and the syringe plunger recess, wherein the flange clamp is configured to be spaced apart from the mating surface to receive a syringe flange of the syringe. The sensing switch extends through the mating surface, wherein the sensing switch is configured to be in a closed state when the flange clamp is in contact with the sensing switch and in an open state when the flange clamp is spaced apart from the sensing switch.
