What is the Surefuser+?

Surefuser+ is a single use elastomeric pump for continuous infusion therapy within the hospital or home environment. Simple, ergonomic design makes the Surefuser+ easy to fill, easy to connect, and even easier for you as a patient to manage.

Also check the Filter for bubbles which you can remove by simply tapping it gently. If you cannot identify any obvious issues then please contact your nurse or Consultant at the Hospital as soon as possible.
