Brief Summary: In the previous study, the vertical type of the cylinder type pump was compared with the syringe pump. As a result, the preparation time of the cylinder type vertical pump was about 2 minutes less than that of the syringe pump, and there was no statistical significance in the exposure time. Also, due to the fact that the syringe needs to be constantly replaced for dosing, it has been confirmed that the number of replacements is more than twice that of the cylinder cartridge. That is, in the previous study, the vertical type of the cylinder type pump could reduce preparation time and reduce the number of syringe replacements to pursue work convenience. In addition, it has been confirmed that the reduction in the number of replacements reduces the external exposure of the nutrient solution, and thus has the advantage of exhibiting the effect of preventing infection that can reduce the possibility of contamination. In this study, as the new type of cylinder pump, Horizon type, was developed, it was compared with the syringe pump and cylinder pump vertical type that were conducted in the previous study. In the comparison of preparation time, the primary evaluation variable, the syringe pump and the cylinder pump vertical type showed results that were not significantly different from the previous studies, and the syringe pump, which was dispensed through several syringes, was longer than the two cylinder pumps. It was shown to have preparation time. In the second evaluation variable, the number of syringe and cartridge replacement times, the number of syringe pumps was higher than in the previous study, and as described in the results of the previous study, the infection prevention effect can be expected as a result. There were no significant differences between the three pumps in the number of alarms
