OUTLOOK SAFETY INFUSION SYSTEM
Each day, patients in every hospital fall victim to a medication error. Among adverse drug events (ADEs), IV-related errors have the greatest potential to harm patients – 35 percent of all medication errors that result in significant harm are the result of IV pump errors.
To combat the major causes of IV pump medication errors, B. Braun Medical has developed the Outlook Safety Infusion System. Available in four levels of Extendable Technology, the Outlook Safety Infusion System enables hospitals to choose the level of medication safety to meet their needs and easily convert to other levels as their needs change. Its open architecture design allows it to interface with any hospital or pharmacy information management system.
The Outlook Safety Infusion System is designed to ensure the right patient is receiving the right drug and the right dose by an authorized clinician. The Outlook Safety Infusion System with DoseGuard technology notifies clinicians if institution-defined dose limits are exceeded.
Patient safety is further enhanced with DoseScan pump-based barcode technology featuring automated checks and balances that augment the manual procedures commonly in use. With these combined technologies, the Outlook Safety Infusion System helps reduce human error and enables hospitals to provide an unprecedented level of IV medication safety.
