Lyrics
10, 20, 30, 40, 50 drops.
Precision timing that never stops.
Let's do the math.
When a patient needs medicine inside an
IV line, you can't just guess and say it's going to be fine.
A doctor writes a number, 20 milliliters an hour
And the biomed pump uses robotic power
Tiny little fingers inside of the door squeezing on the
tubing across the floor
step by step Micro step by step keeping that delivery
steady and adept. It's called
peristalsis watch the fingers roll pushing every drop under full
control Upstream, downstream, checking on the line
Making sure the safety check is working mighty fine
Count the drops, count the hours
Biomedical
superpowers.
Milliliters moving right on the dot.
Delivering exactly what the doctor thought.
No too fast, not too slow.
Watch the little green delivery light glow.
Tick, tick, tick, drop, never gonna stop.
Infusion pump working at the very top.
If someone bends the tube and the liquid can't flow
The pressure sensor rings and lets the nurse know
Occlusion, alarm, sings the friendly little chime.
Stopping the motor right in the nick of time.
Biomeds test it with the pressure gauge tool, making sure the safety feature follows
every rule.
Count the drops. Count the hours.
Biomedical math superpowers.
Milliliters moving right on the dot,
Delivering exactly what the doctor thought
No too fast, not too slow
Watch the little green delivery light glow
Tick, tick, tick, drop
Never gonna stop
Infusion pump Working at the very top
Math is medicine Math is cool
Everything you learn right now in school
Fractions, rates, and volume too
Look what an engineer can do
Count the drops
Count the hours Biomedical math superpowers
Milliliters moving right on the dot
Delivering exactly what the doctor thought
No too fast, not too slow
Watch the little green delivery light glow
Tick, tick, tick, drop, never gonna stop
Infusion pump working at the very top
Exact dose, delivered Every single drop counts
Good job, pump!
