Go with the Flow: Insights into Complex Infusion Delivery Systems

Supported by Ivenix and the AAMI Foundation’s National Coalition to Promote the Safe Use of Complex Healthcare Technology

Watch this webinar as two experts in the use, design, and safety of infusion pumps will provide information on the issues related to introducing and using complex infusion technology in the clinical environment. There are many factors that influence flow accuracy of intravenous infusion pumps and the speakers will outline ways to understand the risks, methods to improve accuracy, and considerations for preparing clinicians to effectively use infusion systems.

Learning Objectives:

-Understand large volume pump (LVP) technology and its use in typical clinical environments

-Identify external conditions that impact LVP flow accuracy

-Examine the impact to patient safety when flow variations occur

Speakers:

Robert Butterfield, Becton-Dickinson Engineering Fellow (Retired), Principal – RDB Medical Instrument Consulting

Nathaniel Sims, MD, Cardiac Anesthesiologist & Physician Advisor to Biomedical Engineering, Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology, Harvard Medical School
